Douay Rheims Original ↷
1 Timothy 5 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Reproof and Respect
1 A Senior rebuke not: but beseech as a father: young men, as brethren:
2 old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.
Honoring True Widows
3 Honour widows, which are widows indeed.
7 And this command that they be blameless.
8 But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of his domesticals, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 Let a widow be chosen of no less than three-score years, which hath been the wife of one husband,
10 having testimony in good works, if she have brought up her children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have followed every good work.
11 But the younger widows avoid. For when they shall be wanton in Christ, they will marry:
19 Against a priest receive not accusation, but under two or three witnesses.
20 Them that sin, reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear.
A Charge to Timothy
21 I testify before God and Christ JESUS, and the elect Angels, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to the one part.
22 Impose hands on no man lightly, neither do thou communicate with other men's sins. Keep thy self chaste.
