| [1]Πρεσβυτέρῳ μὴ ἐπιπλήξῃς, ἀλλὰ παρακάλει ὡς πατέρα, νεωτέρους ὡς ἀδελφούς, |
[1]Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father, the younger men as brethren |
| [2]πρεσβυτέρας ὡς μητέρας, νεωτέρας, ὡς ἀδελφὰς ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνείᾳ. |
[2]The elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, in all chastitie |
| [3]χήρας τίμα τὰς ὄντως χήρας. |
[3]Honour wydowes, whiche are wydowes in deede |
| [4]εἰ δέ τις χήρα τέκνα ἢ ἔκγονα ἔχει, μανθανέτωσαν πρῶτον τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον εὐσεβεῖν καὶ ἀμοιβὰς ἀποδιδόναι τοῖς προγόνοις· τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν ἀποδεκτὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ. |
[4]But yf any wydowe haue chyldren or nephewes, let them learne first to rule their owne houses godly, and to recompence also their elder kynsefolkes: for that is good and acceptable before God |
| [5]ἡ δὲ ὄντως χήρα καὶ μεμονωμένη ἤλπικεν ἐπὶ τὸν θεὸν καὶ προσμένει ταῖς δεήσεσιν καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας· |
[5]And she that is a wydowe in deede, and left alone, hopeth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers nyght and day |
| [6]ἡ δὲ σπαταλῶσα ζῶσα τέθνηκεν. |
[6]But she that liueth in pleasure, is dead beyng alyue |
| [7]καὶ ταῦτα παράγγελλε, ἵνα ἀνεπίλημπτοι ὦσιν. |
[7]And these thynges commaunde, that they may be blamelesse |
| [8]εἰ δέ τις τῶν ἰδίων καὶ μάλιστα οἰκείων οὐ προνοεῖται, τὴν πίστιν ἤρνηται καὶ ἔστιν ἀπίστου χείρων. |
[8]But if any prouide not for his owne, and specially for them of his housholde, he hath denyed the fayth, and is worse then an infidell |
| [9]χήρα καταλεγέσθω μὴ ἔλαττον ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα γεγονυῖα ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή, |
[9]Let not a wydowe be chosen vnder three score yeres olde, hauyng ben the wyfe of one man |
| [10]ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς μαρτυρουμένη, εἰ ἐτεκνοτρόφησεν, εἰ ἐξενοδόχησεν, εἰ ἁγίων πόδας ἔνιψεν, εἰ θλιβομένοις ἐπήρκεσεν, εἰ παντὶ ἔργῳ ἀγαθῷ ἐπηκολούθησεν. |
[10]And well reported of in good workes, yf she haue brought vp chyldren, yf she haue lodged straungers, yf she haue wasshed the saintes feete, yf she haue ministred vnto them that were in aduersitie, yf she haue ben continually geuen to euery good worke |
| [11]νεωτέρας δὲ χήρας παραιτοῦ· ὅταν γὰρ καταστρηνιάσωσιν τοῦ χριστοῦ, γαμεῖν θέλουσιν, |
[11]But the yonger wydowes refuse: For whe they haue begun to waxe wanton agaynst Christe, they wyll marrie |
| [12]ἔχουσαι κρῖμα, ὅτι τὴν πρώτην πίστιν ἠθέτησαν· |
[12]Hauyng dampnation, because they haue cast away their first fayth |
| [13]ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἀργαὶ μανθάνουσιν περιερχόμεναι τὰς οἰκίας, οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀργαί, ἀλλὰ καὶ φλύαροι καὶ περίεργοι, λαλοῦσαι τὰ μὴ δέοντα. |
[13]They learne to wander about from house to house idle: yea not idle only, but also tatlers and busybodies, speakyng thynges which are not comely |
| [14]βούλομαι οὖν νεωτέρας γαμεῖν, τεκνογονεῖν, οἰκοδεσποτεῖν, μηδεμίαν ἀφορμὴν διδόναι τῷ ἀντικειμένῳ λοιδορίας χάριν· |
[14]I wyll therefore that the yonger women do marrie, to beare chyldren, to guyde the house, to geue none occasion to ye aduersarie to speake slaunderously |
| [15]ἤδη γάρ τινες ἐξετράπησαν ὀπίσω τοῦ σατανᾶ. |
[15]For certaine of them are alredy turned backe after Satan |
| [16]εἴ τις πιστὴ ἔχει χήρας, ἐπαρκείσθω αὐταῖς, καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἡ ἐκκλησία, ἵνα ταῖς ὄντως χήραις ἐπαρκέσῃ. |
[16]Yf any man or woman that beleueth haue wydowes, let them susteine them, & let not the Churches be charged, that there maye be sufficient for them that are wydowes in deede |
| [17]Οἱ καλῶς προεστῶτες πρεσβύτεροι διπλῆς τιμῆς ἀξιούσθωσαν, μάλιστα οἱ κοπιῶντες ἐν λόγῳ καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ· |
[17]The elders that rule well are worthy of double honour, most speciallye they which labour in the worde & teachyng |
| [18]λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή, Βοῦν ἀλοῶντα οὐ φιμώσεις· καί, Ἄξιος ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ. |
[18]For the scripture sayth: Thou shalt not moosel the oxe that treadeth out the corne: And, the labourer is worthy of his rewarde |
| [19]κατὰ πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ δύο ἢ τριῶν μαρτύρων. |
[19]Agaynst an elder receaue none accusation, but vnder two or three witnesses |
| [20]τοὺς ἁμαρτάνοντας, ἐνώπιον πάντων ἔλεγχε, ἵνα καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ φόβον ἔχωσιν. |
[20]Them that sinne, rebuke before all, that other also may feare |
| [21]διαμαρτύρομαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἀγγέλων, ἵνα ταῦτα φυλάξῃς χωρὶς προκρίματος, μηδὲν ποιῶν κατὰ πρόσκλισιν. |
[21]I testifie before God, and the Lorde Iesus Christe, and the elect angels, that thou obserue these thinges without hastynesse of iudgement, and do nothyng after parcialitie |
| [22]χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει, μηδὲ κοινώνει ἁμαρτίαις ἀλλοτρίαις, σεαυτὸν ἁγνὸν τήρει. |
[22]Lay handes sodenly on no man, neither be partaker of other mens sinnes. Kepe thy selfe chaste |
| [23]μηκέτι ὑδροπότει, ἀλλὰ οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ, διὰ τὸν στόμαχον καὶ τὰς πυκνάς σου ἀσθενείας. |
[23]Drinke no longer water, but vse a litle wine for thy stomackes sake & thine often diseases |
| [24]τινῶν ἀνθρώπων αἱ ἁμαρτίαι πρόδηλοί εἰσιν, προάγουσαι εἰς κρίσιν· τισὶν δὲ καὶ ἐπακολουθοῦσιν. |
[24]Some mens sinnes are open beforehande, hastyng before vnto iudgement, and in some they folowe after |
| [25]ὡσαύτως καὶ τὰ ἔργα τὰ καλὰ πρόδηλα, καὶ τὰ ἄλλως ἔχοντα κρυβῆναι οὐ δύνανται. |
[25]Lykewise also, good workes are manifest before hande, and they that are otherwyse can not be hyd |
