1 Timothy 5
1 You should not rebuke an old man, but rather plead with him, as if he were your father; with young men, like brothers;
πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξησ αλλα παρακαλει ωσ πατερα νεωτερουσ ωσ αδελφουσ
2 with old women, like mothers; with young women, in all chastity, like sisters.
πρεσβυτερασ ωσ μητερασ νεωτερασ ωσ αδελφασ εν παση αγνεια
3 Honor those widows who are true widows.
χηρασ τιμα τασ οντωσ χηρασ
4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let her first learn to manage her own household, and to fulfill, in turn, her own obligation to her parents; for this is acceptable before God.
ει δε τισ χηρα τεκνα η εκγονα εχει μανθανετωσαν πρωτον τον ιδιον οικον ευσεβειν και αμοιβασ αποδιδοναι τοισ προγονοισ τουτο γαρ εστιν αποδεκτον ενωπιον του θεου
5 But she who is truly a widow and is destitute, let her hope in God, and let her be urgent in supplications and prayers, night and day.
η δε οντωσ χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι τον θεον και προσμενει ταισ δεησεσιν και ταισ προσευχαισ νυκτοσ και ημερασ
6 For she who is living in pleasures is dead, while living.
η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν
7 And give instruction in this, so that they may be beyond reproach.
και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιληπτοι ωσιν
8 But if anyone has no concern for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith, and he is worse than an unbeliever.
ει δε τισ των ιδιων και μαλιστα των οικειων ου προνοει την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων
9 Let a widow be chosen who is no less than sixty years of age, who was the wife of one husband,
χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενοσ ανδροσ γυνη
10 who has testimony of her good works: whether she has educated children, or has provided hospitality, or has washed the feet of the saints, or has ministered to those suffering tribulation, or has pursued any kind of good work.
εν εργοισ καλοισ μαρτυρουμενη ει ετεκνοτροφησεν ει εξενοδοχησεν ει αγιων ποδασ ενιψεν ει θλιβομενοισ επηρκεσεν ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν
11 But avoid the younger widows. For once they have flourished in Christ, they will want to marry,
νεωτερασ δε χηρασ παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν
12 resulting in damnation, because they have disregarded the primacy of faith.
εχουσαι κριμα οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν
13 And being at the same time also idle, they learn to go from house to house, being not only idle, but also talkative and curious, speaking of things which do not concern them.
αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τασ οικιασ ου μονον δε αργαι αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα
14 Therefore, I want the younger women to marry, to procreate children, to be mothers of families, to provide no ready opportunity for the adversary to speak evil.
βουλομαι ουν νεωτερασ γαμειν τεκνογονειν οικοδεσποτειν μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριασ χαριν
15 For certain ones have already been turned back to Satan.
ηδη γαρ τινεσ εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα
16 If any among the faithful have widows, let him minister to them and not burden the Church, so that there may be enough for those who are true widows.
ει τισ πιστοσ η πιστη εχει χηρασ επαρκειτω αυταισ και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια ινα ταισ οντωσ χηραισ επαρκεση
17 Let priests who lead well be held worthy of twice the honor, especially those who labor in the Word and in doctrine.
οι καλωσ προεστωτεσ πρεσβυτεροι διπλησ τιμησ αξιουσθωσαν μαλιστα οι κοπιωντεσ εν λογω και διδασκαλια
18 For Scripture says: “You shall not muzzle an ox as it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his pay.”
λεγει γαρ η γραφη βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεισ και αξιοσ ο εργατησ του μισθου αυτου
19 Do not be willing to accept an accusation against a priest, except under two or three witnesses.
κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου εκτοσ ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων
20 Reprove sinners in the sight of everyone, so that the others may have fear.
τουσ αμαρτανοντασ ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν
21 I testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect Angels, that you should observe these things without prejudgment, doing nothing which shows favoritism to either side.
διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων ινα ταυτα φυλαξησ χωρισ προκριματοσ μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλησιν
22 You should not be quick to impose hands on anyone, nor should you take part in the sins of outsiders. Keep yourself chaste.
χειρασ ταχεωσ μηδενι επιτιθει μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαισ αλλοτριαισ σεαυτον αγνον τηρει
23 Do not continue to drink only water, but make use of a little wine, for the sake of your stomach and your frequent infirmities.
μηκετι υδροποτει αλλ οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον σου και τασ πυκνασ σου ασθενειασ
24 The sins of some men have been made manifest, preceding them to judgment, but those of others are manifested later.
τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν προαγουσαι εισ κρισιν τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν
25 Similarly, too, good deeds have been made manifest, but even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden.
ωσαυτωσ και τα καλα εργα προδηλα εστιν και τα αλλωσ εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυνανται
