54:005:011 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax
wanton against Christ, they will marry;
54:005:012 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first
faith.
54:005:013 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house
to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies,
speaking things which they ought not.
54:005:014 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children,
guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak
reproachfully.
54:005:015 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
54:005:016 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.
54:005:017 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
54:005:018 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
54:005:019 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
54:005:020 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
