1 Timothy 5:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ Look what's already happened to some of the young widows! They have turned away to follow Satan.

¹⁶ If a woman who is a follower has any widows in her family, she^[a] should help them. This will keep the church from having that burden, and then the church can help widows who are really in need.

Church Leaders

¹⁷ Church leaders^[b] who do their job well deserve to be paid^[c] twice as much, especially if they work hard at preaching and teaching.
