Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.

In the same way, teach the older women to lead a holy life. They must not tell lies about others. They must not let wine control them. Instead, they must teach what is good.

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,

Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good.

In the same way, older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not slaves to excessive drinking. They are to teach what is good,

Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—

that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

The aged women likewise, that[ they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.

and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,

so they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children,

Wives, too, must be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled, faithful in everything.

Your beauty should not consist of outward things like elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold ornaments or fine clothes.Instead, it should consist of what is inside the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very valuable in God’s eyes.For in the past, the holy women who put their hope in God also beautified themselves in this way, submitting to their own husbands,

Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel,but with good works, as is proper for women who affirm that they worship God.

For an overseer, as God’s administrator, must be blameless, not arrogant, not hot-tempered, not addicted to wine, not a bully, not greedy for money,

Deacons, likewise, should be worthy of respect, not hypocritical, not drinking a lot of wine, not greedy for money,

So you should welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints and assist her in whatever matter she may require your help. For indeed she has been a benefactor of many— and of me also.

The real widow, left all alone, has put her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers;however, she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.Command this also, so they won’t be blamed.But if anyone does not provide for his own, that is his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.No widow should be placed on the official support list unless she is at least 60 years old, has been the wife of one husband,and is well known for good works— that is, if she has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the saints’ feet, helped the afflicted, and devoted herself to every good work.

Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food.

But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives My slaves to commit sexual immorality and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.

But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

Don’t continue drinking only water, but use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
