1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren;
An elder do not reprimand, but persuade him as a father, and those who are young as thy brethren,
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
and the elderly women as mothers, and those who are young as thy sisters, with all purity.
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
The widows honour them who are widows in truth.
4 But 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.
And if there be a widow who hath children, or children's children, let them learn first to do justly for their families, and to repay the debts (owing) to their parents; for this is acceptable before Aloha.
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
But she who is truly a widow and solitary (is one) whose hope is in Aloha, and who persevereth in prayer and in supplication by night and by day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
But she who serveth pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
These things prescribe to them, that they be without blame.
8 But 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.
For if a man hath not care of them who are his own, and especially of them who are children of the household of faith, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than those who believe not.
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
Elect, then, the widow who is not less than sixty years, who hath had one husband,
10 Well 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.
and who hath the testimony of good works: if she have brought up children, if she have received guests, if she have washed the feet of the saints, if she have cheered the afflicted, if she have walked in every gracious work.
11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
But from the widows who are young, withhold (the election); for these become schismatical against the Meshiha, and seek to marry,
12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
and their condemnation is confirmed, because they have rejected their first fidelity.
13 And 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.
They also learn idleness, wandering from house to house; and not only idleness, but also to multiply words, and to follow vain (pursuits), and to speak things which they ought not.
14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
I will therefore that those who are young should marry, and bear children, and conduct their households,
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
and not give to the adversary any occasion to revile. For already have some begun to turn aside after Satana.
16 If 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.
If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them support them, that they may not be burden-some on the church, that they who are widows indeed may have sufficient.
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Those presbyters who well conduct themselves shall be worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and in doctrine.
18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox in the treading out; and, Worthy is the labourer of his hire.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Against a presbyter an accusation receive not, except on the mouth of two or three witnesses.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
Those who sin before all men reprove, that the rest may be afraid.
21 I 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.
I attest thee before Aloha and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha and his elect angels, that thou keep these, (precepts, ) and let not thy mind be pre-occupied by any thing, and do nothing with acceptance of persons.
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
The hand suddenly on any man lay not, neither participate in others' sins. Keep thyself in purity.
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
And henceforth water drink not, but wine a little drink, on account of thy stomach, and on account of thy constant infirmities.
24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after.
THERE are men whose sins are known, and they precede them to the place of judgment; and there are whose (sins) go after them.
25 Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise can not be hid.
So also good men are known; and those who are otherwise cannot be hid.
