I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully (5:14) For some are already turned aside after Satan (5:15) 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 (5:16) Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine (5:17) For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward (5:18) Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses (5:19) Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear (5:20) 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 (5:21) Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure (5:22) Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities (5:23) Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after (5:24) Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid
(5:25)
