25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
25 Likewise G5615 also G2532 the good G2570 works G2041 of some are G2076 manifest beforehand; G4271 and G2532 they that are G2192 otherwise G247 cannot G3756 G1410 be hid. G2928
25 In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid.
25 in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.
25 In like manner good works also are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden.
25 In the same way, there are good works which are clearly seen; and those which are not so, may not be kept secret.
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Chapter 5
Here the apostle,
1Ti 5:1-2
Here the apostle gives rules to Timothy, and in him to other ministers, in reproving. Ministers are reprovers by office; it is a part, though the least pleasing part, of their office; they are to preach the word, to reprove and rebuke, 2 Tim. 4:2. A great difference is to be made in our reproofs, according to the age, quality, and other circumstances, of the persons rebuked; thus, and elder in age or office must be entreated as a father; on some have compassion, making a difference, Jude 22. Now the rule is,
1Ti 5:3-16
Directions are here given concerning the taking of widows into the number of those who were employed by the church and had maintenance from the church: Honour widows that are widows indeed. Honour them, that is, maintain them, admit them into office.
