NASB — 1 Timothy 5 — KJV

Honor Widows

1 aDo not sharply° rebuke° an bolder° man°, but [rather] appeal° to [him] as a father°, [to] cthe younger° men° as brothers°, 2 the older° women° as mothers°, [and] the younger° women° as sisters°, in all° purity°.

[1] aLv 19:32 bTit 2:2 cTit 2:6

3 ¶ Honor° widows° who are awidows° indeed°; 4 but if° any° widow° has° children° or° grandchildren°, athey must first° learn° to practice° piety° in regard to their own° family° and to Imake° some return° to their parents°; for this° is bacceptable° in the sight° of God°. 5 Now° she who is a awidow° indeed° and who has been left° alone°, bhas fixed° her hope° on God° and continues° in centreaties° and prayers° night° and day°. 6 But she who agives° herself° to wanton° pleasure° is bdead° even while she lives°. 7 IaPrescribe° these° things° as well°, so° that they may be above° reproach°. 8 But if° anyone° does not provide° for his own°, and especially° for those of his household°, he has adenied° the faith° and is worse° than an unbeliever°.

9 ¶ A widow° is to be aput° on the list° only if she is not less° than sixty° years° old, [having been] bthe wife° of one° man°, 10 having° a reputation° for agood° works°; [and] if° she has brought° up children°, if° she has bshown° hospitality° to strangers°, if° she chas washed° the Isaints’° feet°, if° she has dassisted° those in distress°, [and] if° she has devoted° herself° to every° good° work°. 11 But refuse° [to put] younger° widows° [on the list], for when° they feel° asensual° desires° in disregard° of Christ°, they want° to get° married°, 12 [thus] incurring° condemnation°, because° they have set° aside° their previous° Ipledge°. 13 At the same° time° they also° learn° [to be] idle°, as they go° around° from house° to house°; and not merely° idle°, but also° agossips° and bbusybodies°, talking° about cthings° not proper° [to mention]. 14 Therefore°, I want° younger° [widows] to get° amarried°, bear° children°, bkeep° house°, [and] cgive° the enemy° no° occasion° for reproach°; 15 for some° ahave already° turned° aside° to follow° bSatan°. 16 If° any° woman° who is a believer° ahas° [dependent] widows°, she must bassist° them and the church° must not be burdened°, so° that it may assist° those° who are cwidows° indeed°.

Concerning Elders

17aThe elders° who brule° well° are to be considered° worthy° of double° honor°, especially° those° who cwork° hard° Iat preaching° and teaching°. 18 For the Scripture° says°, “aYOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE° THE OX° WHILE HE IS THRESHING°,” and “bThe laborer° is worthy° of his wages°.” 19 Do not receive° an accusation° against° an aelder° except°° on the basis° of btwo° or° three° witnesses°. 20 Those° who continue in sin°, arebuke° in the presence° of all°, bso° that the rest° also° will be fearful° [of sinning]. 21 aI solemnly° charge° you in the presence° of God° and of Christ° Jesus° and of [His] chosen° angels°, to maintain° these° [principles] without° bias°, doing° nothing° in a [spirit of] partiality°. 22 aDo not lay° hands° upon anyone° [too] hastily° and Ithereby° share° b[responsibility for] the sins° of others°; keep° yourself° IIfree° from sin°.

Rules to be observed in reproving.

1 ¶ Rebukeºª notº an elder,º butº intreatºª [him] asº a father;º [and] the younger menº asº brethren;º 2 The elder womenº asº mothers;º the youngerº asº sisters,º withº allº purity.º

Of widows.

3 Honourºª widowsº that are widowsº indeed.º 4 Butº if² any¹² widowº haveºª childrenº orº nephews,º let them learnºª firstº to shew pietyºª at² home,º¹ andº to requiteººª their parents:º forº thatº isºª goodº andº acceptableº beforeº God.º 5 Nowº she that is a widowº indeed,º andº desolate,ºª trustethºª inº God,º andº continuethºª in supplicationsº andº prayersº nightº andº day.º 6 Butº she that liveth in pleasureºª is deadºª while she liveth.ºª 7 Andº these thingsº give in charge,ºª thatº they may beºª blameless.º 8 Butº if² any¹² provide¹ª not¹ for²² his own,º andº speciallyº for those of his own house,º he hath deniedºª the² faith,º andº isºª worse² than¹ an infidel.º 9 Let¹ª notº a widowº be taken into the numberºª underº threescoreº years² old,¹ having beenºª the wifeº of oneº man,º 10 Well reported ofºª forº goodº works;º ifº she have brought up¹ª children,² ifº she have lodged strangers,ºª ifº she have washedºª the saints'º feet,º if¹² she have relievedºª the afflicted,ºª ifº she have diligently followedºª everyº goodº work.º 11 Butº the youngerº widowsº refuse:ºª forº whenº they have begun to wax wanton againstºª Christ,º they willºª marry;ºª 12 Havingºª damnation,º becauseº they have cast offºª their firstº faith.º 13 Andº¹ withalº they learnºª [to be] idle,º wandering about¹ª from house to house;º² andº notº onlyº idle,º butº tattlersº alsoº andº busybodies,º speakingºª things which¹ they oughtºª not.º 14 I willºª thereforeº that the younger womenº marry,ºª bear children,ºª guide the house,ºª giveºª noneº occasionº to the² adversaryºª to¹ speak reproachfully.º² 15 Forº someº are¹ª alreadyº turned asideºª afterº Satan.º 16 If anyº manº orº woman that believethº haveºª widows,º let them relieveºª them,º andº let¹ª notº the² churchº be charged;ºª thatº it may relieveºª them that are widowsº indeed.º

Of elders.
