1 Timothy 5:15-24
-
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
-
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.
-
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
-
18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
-
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
-
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
-
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.
-
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
-
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
-
24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
