1 Timothy 5

1 You may not rebuke an elder, but exhort [him] as a father, younger persons as brothers,

πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξης αλλα παρακαλει ως πατερα νεωτερους ως αδελφους

2 aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters—in all purity;

πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας νεωτερας ως αδελφας εν παση αγνεια

3 honor widows who are really widows;

χηρας τιμα τας οντως χηρας

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.

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 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,

η δε οντως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι {VAR1: [τον] } θεον και προσμενει ταις δεησεσιν και ταις προσευχαις νυκτος και ημερας

6 but she given to luxury [while] living has died;

η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν

7 and charge these things, that they may be blameless;

και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιλημπτοι ωσιν

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.

ει δε τις των ιδιων και μαλιστα οικειων ου προνοει την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων

9 A widow—do not let her be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,

χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενος ανδρος γυνη

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;

εν εργοις καλοις μαρτυρουμενη ει ετεκνοτροφησεν ει εξενοδοχησεν ει αγιων ποδας ενιψεν ει θλιβομενοις επηρκεσεν ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν

11 and be refusing younger widows, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,

νεωτερας δε χηρας παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν

12 having judgment, because they cast away the first faith,

εχουσαι κριμα οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν

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;

αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τας οικιας ου μονον δε αργαι αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα

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;

βουλομαι ουν νεωτερας γαμειν τεκνογονειν οικοδεσποτειν μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριας χαριν

15 for some already turned aside after Satan.

ηδη γαρ τινες εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα

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.

ει τις πιστη εχει χηρας επαρκειτω αυταις και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια ινα ταις οντως χηραις επαρκεση

17 Let them, the well-leading elders, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those laboring in word and teaching,

οι καλως προεστωτες πρεσβυτεροι διπλης τιμης αξιουσθωσαν μαλιστα οι κοπιωντες εν λογω και διδασκαλια

18 for the Writing says, “You will not muzzle an ox treading out,” and, “Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.”

λεγει γαρ η γραφη βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεις και αξιος ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου

19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except on two or three witnesses.

κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου εκτος ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων

20 Reprove those sinning before all, that the others may also have fear;

τους {VAR1: [δε] } αμαρτανοντας ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν

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.

διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και χριστου ιησου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων ινα ταυτα φυλαξης χωρις προκριματος μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλισιν

22 Be quickly laying hands on no one, nor be having fellowship with [the] sins of others; be keeping yourself pure;

χειρας ταχεως μηδενι επιτιθει μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαις αλλοτριαις σεαυτον αγνον τηρει

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

μηκετι υδροποτει αλλα οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον και τας πυκνας σου ασθενειας

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

τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν προαγουσαι εις κρισιν τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν

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

ωσαυτως και τα εργα τα καλα προδηλα και τα αλλως εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυνανται
