1 Timothy 5
1 You may not rebuke an elder, but exhort [him] as a father, younger persons as brothers,
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩϧⲉⲗⲗⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯⲧⲉⲛϣⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
2 aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters—in all purity;
ⲃ̅ⲛⲓϧⲉⲗⲗⲱ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
3 honor widows who are really widows;
ⲅ̅ⲛⲓⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲛⲉ.
4 and if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety to their own house, and to give back a repayment to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.
ⲇ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛϣⲏ ⲣⲓ ⲓⲉ ϩⲁⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϯⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲓⲟϯ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧϣⲏⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
5 And she who is really a widow and desolate, has hoped on God, and remains in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,
ⲉ̅ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲥⲟϫⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲥ ⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ⲉⲥⲙⲏⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲣϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲣⲓ.
6 but she given to luxury [while] living has died;
ⲋ̅ⲑⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲉⲣϫⲉⲣ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲥⲟⲛϧ.
7 and charge these things, that they may be blameless;
ⲍ̅ϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ.
8 and if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of the household, he has denied the faith, and he is worse than an unbeliever.
ⲏ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϥⲓⲫⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲁⲗⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥϫⲉⲗ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
9 A widow—do not let her be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲝ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲥⲉⲣ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
10 being testified to in good works: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if she washed holy ones’ feet, if she relieved those in tribulation, if she followed after every good work;
ⲓ̅ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲥϣⲁⲛⲉϣ ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲥϣⲉⲡ ϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲉϫϩⲱϫ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲥⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ.
11 and be refusing younger widows, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲭⲏⲣⲁ ϩⲉⲛⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲣϫⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϭⲓϩⲁⲓ.
12 having judgment, because they cast away the first faith,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲡ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲗϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
13 and also at the same time, they learn [to be] idle, going around the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking things they should not;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲁⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲏⲓ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲗⲓⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲓⲉⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲉ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ.
14 I intend, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer of reviling;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ϭⲓϩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉ⳿ϫⲫⲉ ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲣⲛⲏⲃ ⳿ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϯ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲟⲩϣ.
15 for some already turned aside after Satan.

16 If any believing man or believing woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the assembly be burdened, that it may relieve those [who are] really widows.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲏ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲭⲏ ⲣⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲣⲱϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲛⲉ.
17 Let them, the well-leading elders, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those laboring in word and teaching,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲉⲥⲧⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲉϥⲕⲏⲃ ⲙⲁⲗⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲟⲥⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ.
18 for the Writing says, “You will not muzzle an ox treading out,” and, “Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅⳿ⲥϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕϯⲥⲁⲭⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲉϩⲉ ⲉϥϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏ ⲥ ⳿ϥⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲃⲉⲭⲉ.
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except on two or three witnesses.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲁ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲃ̅ ⲓⲉ ⲅ̅.
20 Reprove those sinning before all, that the others may also have fear;

21 I fully testify, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen messengers, that you may keep these things, without prejudging, doing nothing by partiality.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⲁϭⲛⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϧⲁϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲣⲓⲕⲓ.
22 Be quickly laying hands on no one, nor be having fellowship with [the] sins of others; be keeping yourself pure;

23 no longer be drinking water, but be using a little wine, because of your stomach and of your frequent sicknesses;

24 the sins of certain men are evident beforehand, leading before to judgment, but some also they follow after;

25 in like manner the right works are also evident beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.
