1 Timothy 5 - Amplified Bible(AMP)

Honor Widows

1Do not sharply reprimand an older man, but appeal to him as a father, to younger men as brothers,

2to older women as mothers, to younger women as sisters, in all purity.

3Honor and help those widows who are truly widowed.

4But if a widow has children or grandchildren, see to it that these first learn to show great respect to their own family, and to compensate their parents or grandparents; for this is acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God.

5Now a woman who is really a widow and has been left alone trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

6Whereas she who lives for pleasure and self-indulgence is spiritually dead even while she still lives.

7Keep instructing these things as well, so that they may be blameless and beyond reproach.

8If anyone fails to provide for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

9A widow is to be put on the list only if she is over sixty years of age, the wife of one man,

10and has a reputation for good deeds; if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the feet of the saints (God’s people), if she has assisted the distressed, and has devoted herself to doing good in every way.

11But refuse younger widows, for when they feel their natural desires in disregard of Christ, they wish to marry again,

12and so they incur condemnation for having set aside their previous pledge.

13Now at the same time, they also learn to be idle as they go from house to house; and not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things they should not mention.

14So I want younger widows to get married, have children, manage their households, and not give opponents of the faith any occasion for slander.

15Some have already turned away to follow Satan.

16If any believing woman has widows, she must assist them; and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are truly widows.

Concerning Elders

17The elders who perform their leadership duties well are to be considered worthy of double honor (financial support), especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

18For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”

19Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is based on two or three witnesses.

20As for those who continue in sin, reprimand them in the presence of all, so that the rest will be warned.

21I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels that you guard and keep these rules without bias, doing nothing out of favoritism.

22Do not hurry to lay hands on anyone, and thereby share in the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.

23No longer continue drinking water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

24 The sins of some people are conspicuous, leading the way for them into judgment; but the sins of others appear later.

25Likewise, good deeds are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be hidden.
