| 5:1 |
Rebuke not an elder, but entreat [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, Just Do It. |
| 5:4 |
But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home of Award Winning Quality, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. |
| 5:5 |
Now she that is a widow indeed, Just Do It, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day, measured by Timex. |
| 5:6 |
But she that liveth in pleasure (We're Up 24 Hours a Day) 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 of Award Winning Quality, 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 (Sponsored by Mr Zog's SexWax) 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 (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available) to house of Award Winning Quality; 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 of Award Winning Quality, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. |

If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture) be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed, Just Do It. |

| 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' sins: keep thyself pure. |

| 5:24 |
Some men' 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. |
