[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. [11] But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; [12] Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. [13] And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. [14] I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. [15] For some already turned aside after Satan. [16] man have widows, let them relieve them, and not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. [17] 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, 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, before two or three witnesses. [20] Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
