- 1Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;Πρεσβυτέρῳ μὴ ἐπιπλήξῃς ἀλλὰ παρακάλει ὡς πατέρα νεωτέρους ὡς ἀδελφούς
- 2The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.πρεσβυτέρας ὡς μητέρας νεωτέρας ὡς ἀδελφὰς ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνείᾳ
- 3Honour widows that are widows indeed.Χήρας τίμα τὰς ὄντως χήρας
- 4But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.εἰ δέ χήρα τέκνα ἢ ἔκγονα ἔχει μανθανέτωσαν πρῶτον τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον εὐσεβεῖν καὶ ἀμοιβὰς ἀποδιδόναι τοῖς προγόνοις τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ
- 5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.ἡ δὲ ὄντως χήρα καὶ ἤλπικεν ἐπὶ ⸀θεὸν καὶ προσμένει ταῖς δεήσεσιν καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας
- 6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.ἡ δὲ σπαταλῶσα ζῶσα
- 7And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.καὶ ταῦτα παράγγελλε ἵνα ὦσιν
- 8But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.εἰ δέ τῶν ἰδίων καὶ ⸀μάλιστα οἰκείων οὐ ⸀προνοεῖ τὴν πίστιν ἤρνηται καὶ ἔστιν ἀπίστου χείρων
- 9Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,Χήρα καταλεγέσθω μὴ ἔλαττον ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα γεγονυῖα ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή
- 10Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς μαρτυρουμένη εἰ ἐτεκνοτρόφησεν εἰ ἐξενοδόχησεν εἰ ἁγίων πόδας ἔνιψεν εἰ θλιβομένοις ἐπήρκεσεν εἰ παντὶ ἔργῳ ἀγαθῷ ἐπηκολούθησεν
- 11But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;νεωτέρας δὲ χήρας παραιτοῦ ὅταν γὰρ καταστρηνιάσωσιν τοῦ Χριστοῦ γαμεῖν θέλουσιν
- 12Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.ἔχουσαι κρίμα ὅτι τὴν πρώτην πίστιν ἠθέτησαν
- 13And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἀργαὶ μανθάνουσιν περιερχόμεναι τὰς οἰκίας οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀργαὶ ἀλλὰ καὶ φλύαροι καὶ περίεργοι λαλοῦσαι τὰ μὴ δέοντα
- 14I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.βούλομαι οὖν νεωτέρας γαμεῖν τεκνογονεῖν οἰκοδεσποτεῖν μηδεμίαν ἀφορμὴν διδόναι τῷ ἀντικειμένῳ λοιδορίας χάριν
- 15For some are already turned aside after Satan.ἤδη γάρ ὀπίσω τοῦ Σατανᾶ
- 16If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.εἴ πιστὴ ἔχει χήρας ⸀ἐπαρκείτω αὐταῖς καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἡ ἐκκλησία ἵνα ταῖς ὄντως χήραις ἐπαρκέσῃ
- 17Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.Οἱ καλῶς προεστῶτες πρεσβύτεροι διπλῆς τιμῆς ἀξιούσθωσαν μάλιστα οἱ κοπιῶντες ἐν λόγῳ καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ
- 18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή Βοῦν ἀλοῶντα οὐ φιμώσεις καί Ἄξιος ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ
- 19Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.κατὰ πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ δύο ἢ τριῶν μαρτύρων
- 20Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.⸀τοὺς ἁμαρτάνοντας ἐνώπιον πάντων ἔλεγχε ἵνα καὶ οἱ φόβον ἔχωσιν
- 21I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.διαμαρτύρομαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ⸂Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ⸃ καὶ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἀγγέλων ἵνα ταῦτα φυλάξῃς χωρὶς προκρίματος μηδὲν ποιῶν κατὰ πρόσκλισιν
- 22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει μηδὲ κοινώνει ἁμαρτίαις ἀλλοτρίαις σεαυτὸν ἁγνὸν τήρει
- 23Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.μηκέτι ὑδροπότει ἀλλὰ οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ διὰ τὸν ⸀στόμαχον καὶ τὰς πυκνάς σου ἀσθενείας
- 24Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.ἀνθρώπων αἱ ἁμαρτίαι πρόδηλοί εἰσιν προάγουσαι εἰς κρίσιν δὲ καὶ ἐπακολουθοῦσιν
- 25Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.ὡσαύτως καὶ τὰ ⸂ἔργα τὰ καλὰ⸃ ⸀πρόδηλα καὶ τὰ ἄλλως ἔχοντα κρυβῆναι οὐ δύνανται
