| 5:1 | Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; |
| 5:2 | The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. |
| 5:3 | Honour widows that are widows indeed. |
| 5:4 | But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. |
| 5:5 | Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. |
| 5:6 | But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. |
| 5:7 | And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. |
| 5:8 | But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. |
| 5:9 | Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, |
| 5:10 | Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. |
| 5:11 | But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; |
| 5:12 | Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. |
| 5:13 | 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. |
| 5:14 | I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. |
| 5:15 | For some are already turned aside after Satan. |
| 5:16 | 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. |
| 5:17 | Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. |
| 5:18 | 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 | 因為經上說、『牛在場上踹穀的時候、不可籠住他的嘴。』、又說、『工人得工價是應當的』。 |
| 5:18 | 因为经上说，牛在场上踹谷的时候，不可笼住它的嘴。又说，工人得工价是应当的。 |
| deu:25:4 | Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. |
| 1co:9:9 | For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? |
| lev:19:13 | Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. |
| deu:24:14 | Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates: |
| deu:24:15 | At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee. |
| mat:10:10 | Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. |
| luk:10:7 | And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. |

| 5:19 | Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. |
| 5:20 | Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. |
| 5:21 | 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. |
| 5:22 | Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. |
| 5:23 | Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. |
| 5:24 | Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. |
| 5:25 | Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. |
