14I will therefore that the yonger women marry, beare children, guid the house, giue none occasion to the aduersary to speake reprochfully. 15For some are already turned aside after Satan. 16If any man or woman that beleeueth haue widowes, let them relieue them, and let not the Church be charged, that it may relieue them that are widowes 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 mousell the oxe that treadeth out the corne: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
