Bible Verses About Commandments

Ministrants--let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses,

for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that is in Christ Jesus.

And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,

in hypocrisy speaking lies, being seared in their own conscience,

forbidding to marry--to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth,

because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received,

for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.

These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,

and the profane and old women's fables reject thou, and exercise thyself unto piety,

let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;

till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching;

be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership;

And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,

and she who is given to luxury, living--hath died;

and these things charge, that they may be blameless;

A widow--let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,

in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,
