5:5. But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God and continue in supplications and prayers night and day. 5:6. For she that liveth in pleasures is dead while she is living. 5:7. And this give in charge, that they may be blameless. 5:8. But if any man have not care of his own and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. 5:9. Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband. 5:11. But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry: 5:12. Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith. Their first faith.... Their vow, by which they had engaged themselves to Christ. 5:13. And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tattlers also and busy bodies, speaking things which they ought not. 5:14. I will, therefore, that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil. 5:15. For some are already turned aside after Satan. 5:16.

I charge thee, before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side. 5:22. Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men's sins. Keep thyself chaste. 5:23. Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thy frequent infirmities. 5:24. Some men's sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after. 5:25. In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. 1 Timothy Chapter 6 Duties of servants. The danger of covetousness. Lessons for the rich. 6:1. Whosoever are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed. 6:2.
