CHAP. V.
1 Hauing sette downe a maner howe to rebuke all degrees,
5 hee entreateth of widowes, who then were
chosen for the seruice of the Church: 17 Then hee commeth
to Elders, 23 and speaketh somewhat touching the
health of the bodie.
1 Rebuke note not an Elder, but exhort him as a
father, and the yonger men as brethren,
2 The elder women as mothers, the yonger
as sisters, with all purenesse.
3 note noteHonour widowes, which are widowes
in deede.
4 noteBut if any widowe haue children or nephewes,
let them learne first to shewe godlinesse
note towarde their owne house, and note to recompense
their kinred: note for that is an honest thing and
acceptable before God.
5 noteAnd shee that is a widowe in deede and
left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplicat&ibar;ons
and praiers night and day.
6 noteBut shee that liueth in pleasure, is dead,
while shee liueth.
7 These things therefore warne them of, that
they may be blamelesse.
8 If there bee any that prouideth not for
his owne, and namely for them of his housholde,
hee denieth the faith, and is worse then
an infidell.
9 noteLet not a widow be taken into the number
vnder three score yeere olde, that hath beene
the wife of note one husband,
10 And well reported of for good woorkes: if
shee haue nourished her children, if shee haue
lodged the strangers, if shee haue note washed the
Saintes feete, if shee haue ministred vnto them
which were in aduersitie, if shee were continually
giuen vnto euery good woorke.
11 noteBut note refuse the yonger widowes: for
when they haue begun to waxe wanton against
Christ, they will marrie,
12 Hauing damnation, because they haue
broken the first faith.
13 noteAnd likewise also being idle they learne
to goe about from house to house: yea, they are
not onely ydle, but also pratlers and busibodies,
speaking things which are not comely.
14 noteI will therefore that the yonger women
marie, and beare children, and gouerne the house,
and giue none occasion to the aduersary to speake
euill.
15 For certaine are alreadie turned backe after
Satan.
16 noteIf any faithfull man, or faithfull woman
haue widowes, let them minister vnto them,
and let not the Church bee charged, that there
Pauls charge to Timothie.
may bee sufficient for them that are widowes in
deede.
17 ¶2; note The Elders that rule well, let them be
had in note double honour, note specially they which
labour in the worde and doctrine,
18 For the Scripture sayeth, note Thou shalt not
mousell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out
the corne: and, note The labourer is worthie of his
wages.
19 noteAgainst an Elder receiue none accusation,
but vnder two or three witnesses.
20 noteThem that sinne, rebuke openly, that the
rest also may feare.
21 ¶2; note note I charge thee before God & the Lord
Iesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou obserue
these thinges without preferring one to an
other, and doe nothing partially.
22 noteLay handes note suddenly on no man, neither
be partaker of other mens sinnes: keepe thy
selfe pure.
23 noteDrinke no longer water, but vse a litle
wine for thy stomakes sake, and thine often infirmities.
24 noteSome mens sinnes are open before hand,
and goe before vnto iudgement: but some mens
folowe after.
25 noteLikewise also the good woorkes are manifest
before hande, and they that are otherwise,
can not be hid.
