1 Timothy 5
1 Do not scold an older man. Instead, exhort him as if he were a father. Exhort younger men as if they were brothers.
πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξης αλλα παρακαλει ως πατερα νεωτερους ως αδελφους
2 Exhort older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters in all purity.
πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας νεωτερας ως αδελφας εν παση αγνεια
3 Honor widows, the real widows.
χηρας τιμα τας οντως χηρας
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show honor in their own household. Let them repay their parents, because this is pleasing to God.
ει δε τις χηρα τεκνα η εκγονα εχει μανθανετωσαν πρωτον τον ιδιον οικον ευσεβειν και αμοιβας αποδιδοναι τοις προγονοις τουτο γαρ εστιν καλον και αποδεκτον ενωπιον του θεου
5 But a real widow is left all alone. She puts her certain hope in God. She always remains with requests and prayers both night and day.
η δε οντως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι τον θεον και προσμενει ταις δεησεσιν και ταις προσευχαις νυκτος και ημερας
6 However, the woman who lives for pleasure is dead, even though she is still alive.
η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν
7 Give these instructions as well, so that they may be blameless.
και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιληπτοι ωσιν
8 But if someone does not provide for his own relatives, especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
ει δε τις των ιδιων και μαλιστα των οικειων ου προνοει την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων
9 Let a woman be enrolled as a widow who is not younger than sixty, a wife of one husband.
χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενος ανδρος γυνη
10 She must be known for good deeds, whether it is that she has cared for children, or has been hospitable to strangers, or has washed the feet of the saints, or has relieved the afflicted, or has been devoted to every good work.
εν εργοις καλοις μαρτυρουμενη ει ετεκνοτροφησεν ει εξενοδοχησεν ει αγιων ποδας ενιψεν ει θλιβομενοις επηρκεσεν ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν
11 But as for younger widows, refuse to enroll them in the list. For when they give in to bodily desires against Christ, they want to marry.
νεωτερας δε χηρας παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν
12 In this way they incur guilt because they revoke their first commitment.
εχουσαι κριμα οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν
13 At the same time, they also learn to be lazy and they go around from house to house. They not only become lazy, but they also talk nonsense and are busybodies, saying things they should not say.
αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τας οικιας ου μονον δε αργαι αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα
14 I therefore want younger women to marry, to bear children, to manage the household, and to give no opportunity for the enemy to slander us.
βουλομαι ουν νεωτερας γαμειν τεκνογονειν οικοδεσποτειν μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριας χαριν
15 For some have already turned aside after Satan.
ηδη γαρ τινες εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα
16 If any believing woman has widows, let her help them, so that the church will not be weighed down, so that it might help the real widows.
ει τις πιστος η πιστη εχει χηρας επαρκειτω αυταις και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια ινα ταις οντως χηραις επαρκεση
17 Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work with the word and in teaching.
οι καλως προεστωτες πρεσβυτεροι διπλης τιμης αξιουσθωσαν μαλιστα οι κοπιωντες εν λογω και διδασκαλια
18 For the scripture says, “You shall not put a muzzle on an ox while it treads the grain” and “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
λεγει γαρ η γραφη βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεις και αξιος ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder unless there are two or three witnesses.
κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου εκτος ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων
20 Correct sinners before all so that the rest may be afraid.
τους αμαρτανοντας ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν
21 I solemnly command you before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels, to keep these commands without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.
διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων ινα ταυτα φυλαξης χωρις προκριματος μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλισιν
22 Place hands hastily on no one. Do not share in the sins of another person. You should keep yourself pure.
χειρας ταχεως μηδενι επιτιθει μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαις αλλοτριαις σεαυτον αγνον τηρει
23 You should no longer drink water. Instead, you should take a little wine for the stomach and your frequent sicknesses.
μηκετι υδροποτει αλλ οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον σου και τας πυκνας σου ασθενειας
24 The sins of some people are openly known, and they go before them into judgment. But some sins follow later.
τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν προαγουσαι εις κρισιν τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν
25 Likewise, some good works are openly known, but even the others cannot be hidden.
ωσαυτως και τα καλα εργα προδηλα εστιν και τα αλλως εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυναται
