Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:3 - Honor widows who are truly in need.

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:11 - But do not accept younger widows on the list, because their passions may lead them away from Christ and they will desire to marry,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:12 - and so incur judgment for breaking their former pledge.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:13 - And besides that, going around from house to house they learn to be lazy, and they are not only lazy, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things they should not.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:14 - So I want younger women to marry, raise children, and manage a household, in order to give the adversary no opportunity to vilify us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:15 - For some have already wandered away to follow Satan.

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:22 - Do not lay hands on anyone hastily and so identify with the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:23 - (Stop drinking just water, but use a little wine for your digestion and your frequent illnesses.)
