1 Timothy 5

1 elder: old not to rebuke but to plead/comfort as/when father new as/when brother

Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger men as brothers;

the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, with perfect modesty.

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God.

Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives free from reproach.

But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is behaving worse than an unbeliever.

No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age.

10 in/on/among work good to testify if to raise children if to show hospitality if holy: saint foot to wash if to press on to help if all work good to follow after

She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind.

11 new then widow to refuse/excuse when(-ever) for to desire the/this/who Christ to marry to will/desire

But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry,

12 to have/be judgment that/since: since the/this/who first: previous faith to reject

and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow.

And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go round from house to house; and they are not only idle, but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things that ought not to be spoken of.

14 to plan therefore/then new to marry to have children to manage a house nothing opportunity to give the/this/who be an opponent reviling because of

I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander.

For already some of them have gone astray, following Satan.

If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened--so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need.

Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching.

18 to say for the/this/who a writing ox to thresh no to muzzle and worthy the/this/who worker the/this/who wage it/s/he

For the Scripture says, "You are not to muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain;" and the workman deserves his pay.

19 according to elder: Elder accusation not to welcome outside/except if: not not upon/to/against two or Three witness

Never entertain an accusation against an Elder except on the evidence of two of three witnesses.

Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.

24 one a human the/this/who sin obvious to be to go/bring before toward judgment one then and to follow after

The sins of some men are evident to the world, leading the way to your estimate of their characters, but the sins of others lag behind.

So also the right actions of some are evident to the world, and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight.
