1 Timothy 4 : 9 - 5 : 10
Chapter 4
| 9 | This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. |
| 10 | For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. |
| 11 | These things command and teach. |
| 12 | Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. |
| 13 | Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. |
| 14 | Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. |
| 15 | Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. |
| 16 | Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. |
Chapter 5
| 1 | Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, |
| 2 | older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity. |
| 3 | Honor widows who are really widows. |
| 4 | But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God. |
| 5 | Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. |
| 6 | But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. |
| 7 | And these things command, that they may be blameless. |
| 8 | But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. |
| 9 | Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number, and not unless she has been the wife of one man, |
| 10 | well reported for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work. |
