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,

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;

In the same way, older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine. They are to teach what is good,

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

Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

Your adornment must not be merely the external— braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or putting on apparel;but it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.For in this way the holy women of former times, who hoped in God, also used to adorn themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel,but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.

For the overseer must be beyond reproach as God’s steward, not self willed, not quick tempered, not overindulging in wine, not a bully, not greedy for money,

Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not insincere, not prone to drink much wine, not greedy for money,

that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a helper of many, and of myself as well.

Now she who is actually a widow and has been left alone has set her hope on God, and she continues in requests and prayers night and day.But she who indulges herself in luxury is dead, even while she lives.Give these instructions as well, so that they may be above reproach.But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the actual words of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond servants astray so that they commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

But sexual immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints;

Do not go on drinking only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
