1 Timothy 5

King James Version KJV

1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.

4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.

16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

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.

7 And command these [things], in order that they may be irreproachable.

8 But if someone does not provide for his own [relatives], and especially the members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

9 Let a widow be put on the list [if she] is not less than sixty years [old], the wife of one husband,

10 being well-attested by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality, if she has washed the feet of the saints, if she has helped those who are oppressed, if she has devoted herself to every good work.

11 But refuse younger widows, for whenever their physical desires lead them away from Christ, they want to marry,

12 [thus] incurring condemnation because they have broken their former pledge.

13 And at the same time also, going around from house to house, they learn [to be] idle, and not only idle, but also gossipy and busybodies, saying the things [that are] not necessary.

14 Therefore I want younger [widows] to marry, to bear children, to manage a household, to give the adversary no opportunity for reproach.

15 For already some have turned away [and followed] after Satan.

16 If any believing woman has widows, she must help them, and the church must not be burdened, in order that it may help those [who are] truly widows.

17 The elders who lead well must be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor by speaking and teaching.

18 For the scripture says, "You must not muzzle an ox [while it] is threshing," and "The worker [is] worthy of his wages."

19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.

20 Reprove those who sin in the presence of all, in order that the rest also may experience fear.

21 I testify solemnly before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels that you observe these [things] without prejudice, doing nothing according to partiality.

22 Lay hands on no one hastily, and do not participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

23 (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach and your frequent illnesses.)

24 The sins of some people are evident, preceding [them] to judgment, but for some also they follow after [them].

25 Likewise also good works [are] evident, and those considered otherwise are not able to be hidden.
