highlighted 1 Timothy 5:18-21 ESV
For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain," and, "The laborer deserves his wages."Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality.

highlighted 1 Timothy 5:16-17 ESV
If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her care for them. Let the church not be burdened, so that it may care for those who are truly widows.Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.

Command these things as well, so that they may be without reproach.But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband,

older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity.Honor widows who are truly widows.But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to their own household and to make some return to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day,

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Timothy 4:13-16 ESV
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you.Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

highlighted 1 Timothy 4:9-12 ESV
For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.Command and teach these things.Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.

for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Timothy 4:1-4 ESV
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

highlighted 1 Timothy 3:12-16 ESV
Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that,if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Timothy 3:6-8 ESV
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil.Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain.
