1 Timothy 5 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren:

2the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.

3Honor widows that are widows indeed.

4But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

6But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.

7These things also command, that they may be without reproach.

8But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

9Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

10well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints’ feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.

11But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;

13And withal they learn also to be idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

16If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

17Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

18For the scripture saith,
