| [1]Rebuke not an Elder, but exhort him as a father, and the younger men as brethren, |
[1]Πρεσβυτέρῳ μὴ ἐπιπλήξῃς, ἀλλὰ παρακάλει ὡς πατέρα· νεωτέρους, ὡς ἀδελφούς· |
| [2]The elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all pureness. |
[2]πρεσβυτέρας, ὡς μητέρας· νεωτέρας, ὡς ἀδελφὰς, ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνείᾳ. |
| [3]Honor widows, which are widows indeed. |
[3]χήρας τίμα τὰς ὄντως χήρας. |
| [4]But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to show godliness toward their own house, and to recompense their kindred: for that is an honest thing and acceptable before God. |
[4]εἰ δέ τις χήρα τέκνα ἢ ἔκγονα ἔχει, μανθανέτωσαν πρῶτον τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον εὐσεβεῖν, καὶ ἀμοιβὰς ἀποδιδόναι τοῖς προγόνοις· τοῦτο γάρ ἐστὶ καλὸν καὶ ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| [5]And she that is a widow indeed and left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. |
[5]ἡ δὲ ὄντως χήρα καὶ μεμονωμένη ἤλπικεν ἐπὶ τόν Θεὸν, καὶ προσμένει ταῖς δεήσεσι καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας. |
| [6]But she that liveth in pleasure, is dead, while she liveth. |
[6]ἡ δὲ σπαταλῶσα, ζῶσα τέθνηκε. |
| [7]These things therefore command, that they may be blameless. |
[7]καὶ ταῦτα παράγγελλε, ἵνα ἀνεπίληπτοι ὦσιν. |
| [8]If there be any that provideth not for his own, and namely for them of his household, he denieth the faith, and is worse then an infidel. |
[8]εἰ δέ τις τῶν ἰδίων καὶ μάλιστα τῶν οἰκείων οὐ προνοεῖ τὴν πίστιν ἤρνηται, καὶ ἔστιν ἀπίστου χείρων. |
| [9]Let not a widow be taken into the number under three score year old, that hath been the wife of one husband, |
[9]χήρα καταλεγέσθω μὴ ἔλαττον ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα, γεγονυῖα, ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή, |
| [10]And well reported of for good works: if she have nourished her children, if she have lodged the strangers, if she have washed the Saints' feet, if she have ministered unto them which were in adversity, if she were continually given unto every good work. |
[10]ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς μαρτυρουμένη, εἰ ἐτεκνοτρόφησεν, εἰ ἐξενοδόχησεν, εἰ ἁγίων πόδας ἔνιψεν, εἰ θλιβομένοις ἐπήρκεσεν, εἰ παντὶ ἔργῳ ἀγαθῷ ἐπηκολούθησε. |
| [11]But refuse the younger widows: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry, |
[11]νεωτέρας δὲ χήρας παραιτοῦ· ὅταν γὰρ καταστρηνιάσωσι τοῦ Χριστοῦ, γαμεῖν θέλουσιν, |
| [12]Having damnation, because they have broken the first faith. |
[12]ἔχουσαι κρίμα, ὅτι τὴν πρώτην πίστιν ἠθέτησαν. |
| [13]And likewise also being idle they learn to go about from house to house: yea, they are not only idle, but also prattlers and busybodies, speaking things which are not comely. |
[13]ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἀργαὶ μανθάνουσι περιερχόμεναι τὰς οἰκίας, οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀργαὶ, ἀλλὰ καὶ φλύαροι καὶ περίεργοι, λαλοῦσαι τὰ μὴ δέοντα. |
| [14]I will therefore that the younger women marry, and bear children, and govern the house, and give none occasion to the adversary to speak evil. |
[14]βούλομαι οὖν νεωτέρας γαμεῖν, τεκνογονεῖν, οἰκοδεσποτεῖν, μηδεμίαν ἀφορμὴν διδόναι τῷ ἀντικειμένῳ λοιδορίας χάριν. |
| [15]For certain are already turned back after Satan. |
[15]ἤδη γάρ τινες ἐξετράπησαν ὀπίσω τοῦ Σατανᾶ. |
| [16]If any faithful man, or faithful woman have widows, let them minister unto them, and let not the Church be charged, that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed. |
[16]εἴ τις πιστὸς ἢ πιστὴ ἔχει χήρας, ἐπαρκείτω αὐταῖς, καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἡ ἐκκλησία, ἵνα ταῖς ὄντως χήραις ἐπαρκέσῃ. |
| [17] The Elders that rule well, are worthy of double honor, specially they which labor in the word and doctrine, |
[17]Οἱ καλῶς προεστῶτες πρεσβύτεροι διπλῆς τιμῆς ἀξιούσθωσαν, μάλιστα οἱ κοπιῶντες ἐν λόγῳ καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ· |
| [18]For the Scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The laborer is worthy of his wages. |
[18]λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή, Βοῦν ἀλοῶντα οὐ φιμώσεις· καί, Ἄξιος ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ. |
| [19]Against an Elder receive none accusation, but under two or three witnesses. |
[19]κατὰ πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ δύο ἢ τριῶν μαρτύρων. |
| [20]Them that sin, rebuke openly, that the rest also may fear. |
[20]τοὺς ἁμαρτάνοντας ἐνώπιον πάντων ἔλεγχε, ἵνα καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ φόβον ἔχωσι. |
| [21] I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one to another, and do nothing partially. |
[21]διαμαρτύρομαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἀγγέλων, ἵνα ταῦτα φυλάξῃς χωρὶς προκρίματος, μηδὲν ποιῶν κατὰ πρόσκλισιν. |
| [22]Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. |
[22]χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει, μηδὲ κοινώνει ἁμαρτίαις ἀλλοτρίαις· σεαυτὸν ἁγνὸν τήρει. |
| [23]Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thine often infirmities. |
[23]μηκέτι ὑδροπότει, ἀλλ’ οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ, διὰ τὸν στόμαχον σοῦ καὶ τὰς πυκνάς σου ἀσθενείας. |
| [24]Some men's sins are open beforehand, and go before unto judgment: but some men's follow after. |
[24]τινῶν ἀνθρώπων αἱ ἁμαρτίαι πρόδηλοί εἰσι, προάγουσαι εἰς κρίσιν· τισὶ δὲ καὶ ἐπακολουθοῦσιν. |
| [25]Likewise also the good works are manifest beforehand, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid. |
[25]ὡσαύτως καὶ τὰ καλὰ ἔργα πρόδηλα ἐστι· καὶ τὰ ἄλλως ἔχοντα, κρυβῆναι οὐ δύναται |
