1 Timothy 5 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Honor Widows

1Ti 5:1Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers,

1Ti 5:2the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

1Ti 5:3Honor widows who are widows indeed;

1Ti 5:4but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to [fn]make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

1Ti 5:5

1Ti 5:5Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.

1Ti 5:6

1Ti 5:6But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.

1Ti 5:7

1Ti 5:7 [fn]Prescribe these things as well, so that they may be above reproach.

1Ti 5:8

1Ti 5:8But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

1Ti 5:9

1Ti 5:9A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,

1Ti 5:10

1Ti 5:10having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the [fn]saints’ feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.

1Ti 5:11

1Ti 5:11But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,

1Ti 5:12

1Ti 5:12thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous [fn]pledge.

1Ti 5:13

1Ti 5:13At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.

1Ti 5:14

1Ti 5:14Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach;

1Ti 5:15

1Ti 5:15for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.

1Ti 5:16

1Ti 5:16If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.

Concerning Elders

1Ti 5:17

1Ti 5:17The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard [fn]at preaching and teaching.

1Ti 5:18

1Ti 5:18For the Scripture says, “YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING,” and “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”

1Ti 5:19

1Ti 5:19Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

1Ti 5:20

1Ti 5:20Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.

1Ti 5:21

1Ti 5:21I 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.

1Ti 5:22

1Ti 5:22Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and [fn]thereby share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself [fn]free from sin.

1Ti 5:23

1Ti 5:23No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

1Ti 5:24

1Ti 5:24The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after.

1Ti 5:25

1Ti 5:25Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
