1 Timothy 5
1 An elderly man, do not thou reprimand, but beseech him, as [though he were thy] father, —younger men, as brothers,
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩϧⲉⲗⲗⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯⲧⲉⲛϣⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
2 Elderly women, as mothers, younger women, as sisters, in all chastity.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲓϧⲉⲗⲗⲱ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
3 Widows, honour thou—who indeed are widows: —
ⲅ̅ⲛⲓⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲛⲉ.
4 Howbeit, if, any widow, hath, children or grandchildren, let them be learning—first, unto their own house, to be shewing reverence, and, returns, to be making unto their progenitors; for, this, is 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 But, she who is indeed a widow, and is left alone, hath turned her hope towards God, and is giving attendance unto the supplications and the prayers, night and day, —
ⲉ̅ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲥⲟϫⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲥ ⲁⲥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ⲉⲥⲙⲏⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲣϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲣⲓ.
6 Whereas, she that runneth riot, while living, is, dead:
ⲋ̅ⲑⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲉⲣϫⲉⲣ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲥⲟⲛϧ.
7 And, these things, be giving in charge, that, without reproach, they may be;
ⲍ̅ϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ.
8 If, however, anyone, for his own, and specially them of his household, taketh not forethought, his faith, hath he denied, and is worse, than one without faith!
ⲏ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϥⲓⲫⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲁⲗⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥϫⲉⲗ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
9 Let, a widow, be put on the list—having become, not less than sixty years old, one man’s, wife,
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲝ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲥⲉⲣ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
10 In noble works, being well-attested; —if she hath nourished children, if she hath shewn hospitality, if, saints feet, she hath washed, if, them who were in tribulation, she hath succoured, if, in every good, work she hath followed on:
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 But, younger widows, decline thou; for, as soon as they wax wanton against the Christ, to marry, are they determined, —
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲭⲏⲣⲁ ϩⲉⲛⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲣϫⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϭⲓϩⲁⲓ.
12 Having, as sentence, —that, their first faith, they have set at nought;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲡ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲗϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
13 At the same time, to be idlers, are they learning, going about from house to house; and, not only idlers, but, gossips, also, and, busybodies, —saying the things they ought 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 am minded, therefore, that, the younger ones, marry, bear children, be mistress of the house, —giving, no single occasion, unto the opposer, as a cause, 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, already, some have turned aside after Satan:

16 If any, believing woman, hath widows, let her be giving them succour, and not suffer the assembly to be burdened, —that, them who are indeed widows, it may itself succour.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲏ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲭⲏ ⲣⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲣⲱϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲛⲉ.
17 Let, the well presiding elders, of double honour, be accounted worthy, especially they who toil in discourse and teaching;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲉⲥⲧⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲉϥⲕⲏⲃ ⲙⲁⲗⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲟⲥⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ.
18 For the scripture saith—A threshing ox, shalt thou not muzzle, and—Worthy, is the workman, of his hire.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅⳿ⲥϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕϯⲥⲁⲭⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲉϩⲉ ⲉϥϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲅⲁⲧⲏ ⲥ ⳿ϥⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲃⲉⲭⲉ.
19 Against an elder, entertain not, an accusation, except at, [the mouth of] two, or three, witnesses;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲁ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲃ̅ ⲓⲉ ⲅ̅.
20 But, them who are sinning, before all, do thou reprove, that, the rest also, may have, fear: —
ⲕ̅ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲥⲁϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
21 I adjure thee, before God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen messengers, that, these things, thou observe, apart from prejudgment, doing, nothing, by partiality.

22 Hands, suddenly, upon no one, lay, neither have fellowship with sins of strangers: thyself, keep, chaste: —

23 No longer, be a water-drinker, but, of a little wine, make use, because of thy stomach and thy, frequent, sicknesses.

24 Some men’s sins, are, openly evident, leading on into judgment, with some, however, they even follow after;

25 In the same way, the noble works also, are openly evident, —and, they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
