Sha'ul�s First Letter to Timothy, Chapter 5
{5:1} Don't rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the
younger men as brothers; {5:2} the elder women as mothers; the younger
as sisters, in all purity. {5:3} Honor widows who are widows indeed.
{5:4} But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn
first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their
parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God. {5:5} Now she who
is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and
continues in petitions and prayers night and day. {5:6} But she who
gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives. {5:7} Also command
these things, that they may be without reproach. {5:8} But if anyone
doesn't provide for his own, and specially his own household, he has
denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. {5:9} Let none be
enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one
man, {5:10} well reported of for good works; if she has brought up
children, if she has used hospitality to strangers, if she has washed
the holy ones' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has
diligently followed every good work. {5:11} But refuse younger widows,
for when they have grown wanton against Messiah, they desire to marry;
{5:12} having condemnation, because they have rejected their first
pledge. {5:13} 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. {5:14} I desire therefore that the
younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no
occasion to the adversary for reviling. {5:15} For already some have
turned aside after Hasatan. {5:16} 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. {5:17}
Let the Zakenim who rule well be counted worthy of double honor,
especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. {5:18} For the
Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the
grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages." {5:19} Don't
receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or
three witnesses. {5:20} Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all,
that the rest also may be in fear. {5:21} I charge you in the sight of
God, and Messiah Yeshua, and the elect angels, that you observe these
things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. {5:22} Lay
hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men's sins.
Keep yourself pure. {5:23} Be no longer a drinker of water only, but
use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent
infirmities.
{5:24} Some men's sins are evident, going before to judgment, and
some men also they follow after. {5:25} In the same way also there are
good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be
hidden.
