1Don’t come for the older folks, treat them like fam; the younger guys are just your bros, fr.

2Treat the older ladies like your moms; the younger ones are like your sisters, all pure vibes.

3Show mad respect to widows who are really widows, no cap.

4But if any widow’s got kids or fam, they gotta step up and show love at home; that’s just good and what God wants, periodt.

5The real widow, alone and trusting God, is out here praying day and night, and that’s lit.

6But if she’s just living it up, she’s basically dead while alive, sus.

7Make sure to pass on these vibes so no one’s got a bad rep.

8If someone isn’t taking care of their own, especially at home, they’re denying the faith and that’s just savage.

9Don’t let a widow under 60 join the crew if she’s only been with one dude.

10If she’s got a good rep for doing good stuff—like raising kids, helping strangers, washing feet, and supporting the needy—she’s goated.

11But skip the younger widows: when they start feeling themselves against Christ, they’ll just get hitched.

12They’ll end up in trouble for ditching their first faith, no cap.

13Plus, they get lazy, bouncing from house to house, and end up gossiping and being all up in other people’s business, which is sus.

14So I say let the younger women marry, have kids, run the house, and not give haters any reason to talk smack.

15Some are already falling for Satan’s tricks, fr.

16If any believer has widows, help them out, don’t put the church on blast; let the church help the real widows.

17Let the elders who are killing it get double respect, especially those grinding in the word and teaching.

18Scripture says, "Don’t muzzle the ox while it’s working," and "The worker deserves their pay," and that slaps.

19Don’t take accusations against an elder unless you’ve got two or three witnesses to back it up.

20Rebuke those who mess up in front of everyone, so others can learn to fear.

21I’m telling you in front of God and Jesus, and the chosen angels, keep it fair and don’t play favorites, no cap.

22Don’t lay hands on anyone too quickly, and don’t get involved in others’ sins; keep yourself clean.

23Stop just drinking water; a little wine’s good for your stomach and all those times you’re feeling rough.

24Some dudes’ sins are out there before judgment; others follow after them, that’s just facts.

25And just like that, some good works are obvious beforehand; those that aren’t can’t hide, periodt.

1Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

2The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

3Honour widows that are widows indeed.

4But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

7And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

8But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

9Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

10Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

11But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

12Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

13And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

14I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

15For some are already turned aside after Satan.

16If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

17Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

19Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

20Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

21I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.

23Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

24Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

25Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
