Olketa no just stap nating nomoa bat olketa gossip tu and poke nose lo bisnis blo nara pipol+ for storyim samting wea olketa shud no storyim. 14 Dastawe, mi laekem olketa widow woman wea young for marit,+ for garem pikinini,+ and for lukaftarem famili blo olketa, mekem no eniwan savve tok spoelem iumi. 15 Samfala widow woman lusim finis stretfala wei and followim Satan nao. 16 If eni woman wea biliv hem garem relative wea hem widow woman, hem mas helpem hem mekem kongregeson no waka hard for duim datwan. Sapos olsem, kongregeson savve helpem olketa widow woman wea olketa tru widow.*+

Bat sapos tu or thrifala witness nao accusim hem, iu savve duim samting.+ 20 Stretem olketa+ wea gohed for duim sin+ front lo evriwan, mekem datwan hem olsem wanfala warning for olketa.* 21 Mi talem iu front lo God and Christ Jesus and olketa angel wea God chusim for iu mas followim olketa instruction hia. And lukluk gud lo evri samting bifor iu disaedem eni samting, and no fevarem eniwan.+
22 No kwiktaem for putim hand blo iu antap eni man;*+ no join insaed olketa sin blo olketa narawan; keepim wei blo iuseleva klin.
23 No drinkim wata nomoa, bat drinkim lelebet wine for bele blo iu and for helpem iu bikos iu sik olowe.
