1 Timothy 5 (WEBP)

[1] Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
[2] the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
[3] Honor widows who are widows indeed.
[4] But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
[5] Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
[6] But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
[7] Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
[8] But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
[9] Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
[10] being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
[11] But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
[12] having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
[13] Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
[14] I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
[15] For already some have turned away after Satan.
[16] If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don’t let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
[17] Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
[18] For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
[19] Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
[20] Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
[21] I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
[22] Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
[23] Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
[24] Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
[25] In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.

King James w/Strong’s #s

1 Timothy 5 (KJVS)

[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. ()
