Honor G5091 widows G5503 that are widows G5503 indeed. G3689

But if G1487 any G5100 widow G5503 have G2192 children G5043 or G2228 nephews, G1549 let them learn G3129 first G4412 to show G2151 piety G2151 at home, G2398 and to requite G287 G591 their parents: G4269 for that is good G2570 and acceptable G587 before G1799 God. G2316

But the younger G3501 widows G5503 refuse: G3868 for when G3752 they have begun G2691 to wax G2691 wanton G2691 against G2691 Christ, G5547 they will G2309 marry; G1060

I will G1014 therefore G3767 that the younger G3501 women marry, G1060 bear G5041 children, G5041 guide G3616 the house, G3616 give G1325 none G3361 occasion G874 to the adversary G480 to speak reproachfully G5484 G3059 .

And there was one Anna, G451 a prophetess, G4398 the daughter G2364 of Phanuel, G5323 of the tribe G5443 of Aser: G768 she was of a great G4183 age, G2250 and had lived G2198 with an husband G435 seven G2033 years G2094 from her virginity; G3932

And she was a widow G5503 of about G5613 fourscore G3589 and four G5064 years, G2094 which G3739 departed G868 not from the temple, G2411 but served G3000 God with fastings G3521 and prayers G1162 night G3571 and day. G2250

A bishop G1985 then G3767 must G1163 be blameless, G423 the husband G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 vigilant, G3524 sober, G4998 of good behavior, G2887 given to hospitality, G5382 apt G1317 to teach; G1317

Let the deacons G1249 be the husbands G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 ruling G4291 their children G5043 and their own G2398 houses G3624 well. G2573

And to the married G1060 I command, G3853 yet not I, but the Lord, G2962 Let not the wife G1135 depart G5562 from her husband: G435

But and if G1437 she depart, G5562 let her remain G3306 unmarried G22 or G2228 be reconciled G2644 to her husband: G435 and let not the husband G435 put G863 away G863 his wife. G1135

The wife G1135 is bound G1210 by the law G3551 as long G5550 as her husband G435 lives; G2198 but if G1437 her husband G435 be dead, G2837 she is at G1657 liberty G1658 to be married G1060 to whom G3739 she will; G2309 only G3440 in the Lord. G2962

But she is happier G3107 if G1437 she so G3779 abide, G3306 after G2596 my judgment: G1106 and I think G1380 also G2504 that I have G2192 the Spirit G4151 of God. G2316
