1 Timothy 5:11-21

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 besides 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 It is my will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 For some have already turned aside after Satan.
16 If any man or woman who believeth have widows, let them relieve them and let not the church be burdened, that it may assist those who are widows indeed.
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the Word and doctrine.
18 For the Scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn," and, "The laborer is worthy of his reward."
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, except before two or three witnesses.
20 Those who 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.
