1 Timoteo 5:15 In-Context

13 Ed anche, essendo, oltre a ciò, oziose, imparano ad andare attorno per le case; e non sol sono oziose, ma anche cianciatrici e curiose, parlando di cose che non si convengono.
14 Io voglio adunque che le giovani vedove si maritino, faccian figliuoli, sieno madri di famiglia, non dieno all’avversario alcuna occasione di maldicenza.
15 Poichè già alcune si sono sviate dietro a Satana.
16 Se alcun uomo, o donna fedele, ha delle vedove, sovvenga loro, e non sia la chiesa gravata, acciocchè possa bastare a sovvenir quelle che son veramente vedove.
17 GLI anziani, che fanno bene l’ufficio della presidenza, sien reputati degni di doppio onore; principalmente quelli che faticano nella parola e nella dottrina.
