WORD Research this...1 Timothy 5
- 1 Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:
- 2 To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.
- 3 Give honour to widows who are truly widows.
- 4 But if any widow has children or children's children, let these see that it is right to take care of their family and their fathers and mothers: for this is pleasing in the eyes of God.
- 5 Now she who is truly a widow and without family puts her hope in God, giving herself to prayer day and night.
- 6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she is living.
- 7 Give orders to this effect, so that no evil may be said of anyone.
- 8 If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.
- 9 Let no woman be numbered among the widows who is under sixty years old, and only if she has been the wife of one man,
- 10 And if witness is given of her good works; if she has had the care of children, if she has been kind to travellers, washing the feet of the saints, helping those who are in trouble, giving herself to good works.
- 11 But to the younger widows say No: for when their love is turned away from Christ, they have a desire to be married;
- 12 And they are judged because they have been false to their first faith;
- 13 And they get into the way of doing no work, going about from house to house; and not only doing no work, but talking foolishly, being over-interested in the business of others, saying things which they have no right to say.
- 14 So it is my desire that the younger widows may be married and have children, controlling their families, and giving the Evil One no chance to say anything against them,
- 15 For even now some are turned away to Satan.
- 16 If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.
- 17 Let rulers whose rule is good be honoured twice over, specially those whose work is preaching and teaching.
- 18 For the Writings say, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. And, The worker has a right to his reward.
- 19 Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.
- 20 Say sharp words to sinners when all are present, so that the rest may be in fear.
- 21 I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.
- 22 Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean.
- 23 Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill.
- 24 The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.
- 25 In the same way, there are good works which are clearly seen; and those which are not so, may not be kept secret.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
