1Timothy 5 ASV — 1Timothy 5

1 Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren: ASV — 1Timothy 5:1

2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. ASV — 1Timothy 5:2

3 Honor widows that are widows indeed. ASV — 1Timothy 5:3

4 But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God. ASV — 1Timothy 5:4

5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. ASV — 1Timothy 5:5

6 But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth. ASV — 1Timothy 5:6

7 These things also command, that they may be without reproach. ASV — 1Timothy 5:7

8 But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. ASV — 1Timothy 5:8

9 Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, [having been] the wife of one man, ASV — 1Timothy 5:9

10 well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints` feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work. ASV — 1Timothy 5:10

11 But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; ASV — 1Timothy 5:11

12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge. ASV — 1Timothy 5:12

13 And withal they learn also [to be] idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. ASV — 1Timothy 5:13

14 I desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling: ASV — 1Timothy 5:14

15 for already some are turned aside after Satan. ASV — 1Timothy 5:15

16 If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it mat relieve them that are widows indeed. ASV — 1Timothy 5:16

17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. ASV — 1Timothy 5:17

18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire. ASV — 1Timothy 5:18

19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses. ASV — 1Timothy 5:19

20 Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. ASV — 1Timothy 5:20

21 I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. ASV — 1Timothy 5:21

22 Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men`s sins: keep thyself pure. ASV — 1Timothy 5:22

23 Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach`s sake and thine often infirmities. ASV — 1Timothy 5:23

24 Some men`s sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after. ASV — 1Timothy 5:24

25 In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid. ASV — 1Timothy 5:25
