| [1]Rebuke not an Elder, but exhort him as a father, and the younger men as brethren, |
[1]An elder not rebuke but petition him as a father and to those who are young as your brothers |
| [2]The elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all pureness. |
[2]And elder women as mothers and those who are younger as your sisters in all purity |
| [3]Honor widows, which are widows indeed. |
[3]Widows you honor those who widows are indeed |
| [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]And if there is a widow who has to her children or children of children let them learn first that with children of their households they should be assigned and they should pay compensation to their parents this for is acceptable before Alaha |
| [5]And she that is a widow indeed and left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. |
[5]She but who truly a widow is and alone this one her hope upon Alaha is and continues in prayer and in supplication by night and by day |
| [6]But she that liveth in pleasure, is dead, while she liveth. |
[6]She but who worships the Arena dead is while she lives |
| [7]These things therefore command, that they may be blameless. |
[7]These things you shall command them that without fault they may be |
| [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]If a man for of those that his are and especially those who are children of the household of faith not takes care of this one has renounced to himself the faith and worse is than those who not are believers |
| [9]Let not a widow be taken into the number under three score year old, that hath been the wife of one husband, |
[9]You shall therefore choose a widow who is not less than sixty years who one the same husband had |
| [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]And is to her a testimony of works good if she has raised children if she has received strangers if she has washed the feet of the saints if she has relieved the afflicted if she has walked in every work good |
| [11]But refuse the younger widows: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry, |
[11]From widows but those who are younger avoid separate these for from The Messiah and seek to have a husband |
| [12]Having damnation, because they have broken the first faith. |
[12]And their judgment set is for they have rejected their faith former |
| [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]They learn but also laziness while going around house to house and not only laziness but also to increase talking and to take up vanities and to talk whatever not is appropriate |
| [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]Willing I am therefore that those younger ones may marry and bear children and lead their homes and not give to enemies not even one occasion of abuse |
| [15]For certain are already turned back after Satan. |
[15]Until now for they have begun one [by] one to turn after Satan |
| [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]If man believers or female believers have to them widows let them support them and not let them burden on the church that for those who widows are truly it may have enough |
| [17]Â The Elders that rule well, are worthy of double honor, specially they which labor in the word and doctrine, |
[17]Elders those that well are leading honor double deserve especially those who toil in the word and in teaching |
| [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]Say for the scriptures "not muzzle the ox while treading and deserves the laborer his wages |
| [19]Against an Elder receive none accusation, but under two or three witnesses. |
[19]Against an elder an accusation not accept but upon the mouth of two or three witnesses |
| [20]Them that sin, rebuke openly, that the rest also may fear. |
[20]Those who sin before every person rebuke that also the rest of the people may fear |
| [21]Â 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]Testify I to you before Alaha and our Lord Ieshu The Messiah and His angels the chosen that these things you will observe and not let be prejudiced your mind for anything and not do anything by accepting of persons |
| [22]Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. |
[22]Hands quickly on a man not lay and not share in the sins of strangers yourself keep in purity |
| [23]Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thine often infirmities. |
[23]And from now on water not drink but wine a little do drink because of your stomach and because of your illness chronic |
| [24]Some men's sins are open beforehand, and go before unto judgment: but some men's follow after. |
[24]There are children of men whose sins known are and they precede them to the house of judgment and are which after them go |
| [25]Likewise also the good works are manifest beforehand, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid. |
[25]In this way also works good known are and those that otherwise are be concealed not they can |
