| 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. |
| 5:5 | 那獨居無靠真為寡婦的、是仰賴 神、晝夜不住的祈求禱告。 |
| 5:5 | 那独居无靠真为寡妇的，是仰赖神，昼夜不住的祈求祷告。 |
| 1ti:5:3 | Honour widows that are widows indeed. |
| 1ti: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. |
| luk:2:37 | And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. |
| act:26:7 | Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. |
| luk:18:1 | And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; |
| luk:18:2 | Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: |
| luk:18:3 | And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. |
| luk:18:4 | And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; |
| luk:18:5 | Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. |
| luk:18:6 | And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. |
| luk:18:7 | And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? |
| luk:18:8 | I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? |

| 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. |
| 5:19 | 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. |
