1 Timothy 5

Paul instructs Timothy on treating church members with familial respect: older men as fathers, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters in purity. He emphasizes caring for true widows who hope in God (Theos) and pray continually, family responsibility, qualifications for widow enrollment, fair wages for elders, handling accusations against them, impartiality before God (Theos), Christ Jesus, and elect angels, caution in ordaining leaders, personal health advice for Timothy, and that sins and good deeds will be revealed.
