11. But younger almanot refuse, for, when they have ta'avah (lust), in disregard of Moshiach they want nissu'in (marriage, see v.9),
12. Having harsha'ah (condemnation, conviction), because their first havtachah (promise, pledge to ministry, v.9) they annulled.
13. And at the same time also they learn atzlut, going around house to house, and not only idle but also platke machers (gossipy intriguers) and busybodies, speaking things they ought not.
14. Therefore, I counsel younger almanot to proceed with nissu'in (marriage), to bear banim, to manage the bais, giving no occasion to the mitnagged (opponent, antagonist) to reproach us.
15. For already some almanot have turned aside to follow Hasatan.
16. If any ma'aminah (believing woman) has in her mishpochah (family) almanot, let her assist her almanot and let not Moshiach's Kehillah be burdened, that indeed Moshiach's Kehillah may assist the ones who are true almanot [v.9].
17. Let the Zekenim (elders, see SHEMOT 12:21) who have ruled well be considered worthy of double kavod, especially the Zekenim laboring in Messianic hatafah (preaching) and Messianic hora'ah (teaching).
18. For the Kitvei HaKodesh says, LO TACHSOM SHOR BEDISHO ("You shall not muzzle the ox while he is treading out the grain" DEVARIM 25:4), and "Worthy is the workman of his wages."
19. Do not receive an accusation against a Zaken (Elder), unless on the PI SHNI EDIM O AL PI SHLOSHA EDIM ("testimony of two or three witnesses" DEVARIM 19:15).
20. The Zekenim that are sinning, expose before all, that the rest also may have yirat Shomayim.
21. I charge you before Hashem and Moshiach Yehoshua and the malachim habechirim (chosen angels) that these directives you keep without discrimination, doing nothing on the mekor (basis) of masoh panim (partiality).
22. Give s'michah quickly to no one nor participate in the chatta'im (sins) of others; keep yourself tahor.
23. No longer drink only mayim, but use a little yayin because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
24. With some, their chatta'im are obvious, going before them to mishpat, but with others, some chatta'im indeed follow after them [to the Yom HaDin].
25. Likewise, also ma'asim tovim are borur (obvious), but even when they are not, they cannot be hidden.
