1 Timothy 5:1-6

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to [him] as a father, younger men as brothers,

2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.

3 Honor widows [who are] truly widows.

4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to show profound respect for their own household first, and to pay back recompense to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.

5 But the widow [who is one] truly, and is left alone, has put her hope in God and continues in her petitions and prayers night and day.

6 But the one who lives for sensual pleasure is dead [even though she] lives.

New International Version NIV

1 Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers,

2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.

3 Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.

4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.

5 The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.

6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.
