1 Paul told Timothy: Do not be hard on an old man. Talk nice, like to a dad. ❤️ 2 Paul told Timothy: Treat old women like moms. Treat young women like sisters. Keep your heart clean. 3 Paul said: Help women with no husband who are truly alone. 4 If she has kids or grandkids, they should help her at home first. This makes God glad. 5 A woman alone trusts God. She prays day and night. ☀️ 6 But if she only wants fun and does bad, this is not good. She is like dead inside. ❌ 7 Teach these rules so people do not do wrong. ✅ 8 If a man will not care for his own family, he does very wrong. ❌ 9 Put a woman on the help list only if she is 60 or more and was true to one man. 6️⃣0️⃣ 10 She should have done many good things: raised kids, was kind to guests, helped God’s people, and helped sick or sad ones. 11 Do not put young women with no husband on the list, because they may want to marry again later. ❌ 12 Then they would break their first promise. 13 They may waste time, go house to house, talk too much, and say wrong things. ♀️️❌ 14 So I think young women should marry, have kids, care for the home, and do good so no one can say bad things. 15 Some have gone the wrong way with Satan. ⚠️ 16 If a believer has a woman with no husband in the family, they should help her. Then the church can help the ones who are all alone. ⛪ 17 Church leaders who do good work should get extra thanks, most of all the ones who teach God’s word. ⛪ 18 God’s book says: Do not stop an ox from eating when it works. A worker should get pay. ️ 19 Do not listen to a blame story about a leader unless two or three people saw it. 2️⃣3️⃣ 20 If someone keeps doing wrong, tell it to all, so others learn and stop. ✋ 21 I tell you before God and Jesus and His angels: do these rules the same for all. Do not pick favorites. ✝️⚖️ 22 Do not choose leaders too fast. Do not join in sins. Keep yourself clean. ✋⛪ 23 Do not drink only water. Use a little wine to help your tummy when you are sick a lot. ➡️ 24 Some sins are easy to see now. Some sins show up later. 25 Good works are seen too. If not now, they will be seen later.
