14I desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling:

15for already some are turned aside after Satan.

16If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it mat relieve them that are widows indeed.

17Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire.

19Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses.

20Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
