New Testament

1 Timothy 5:14-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

14. I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

15. For some are already turned aside after Satan.

16. If any man or woman that believes has 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 honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine.

18. For the scripture says, You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain. And, The laborer is worthy of his reward.

19. Against an elder receive not an accusation, unless before two or three witnesses.

20. Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
