1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an Elder, but exhort him as a father, and the yonger men as brethren,
πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξης αλλα παρακαλει ως πατερα νεωτερους ως αδελφους
2 The elder women as mothers, the yonger as sisters, with all purenesse.
πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας νεωτερας ως αδελφας εν παση αγνεια
3 Honour widowes, which are widowes in deede.
χηρας τιμα τας οντως χηρας
4 But if any widowe haue children or nephewes, let them learne first to shewe godlinesse towarde their owne house, and to recompense their kinred: for that is an honest thing and acceptable before 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 And shee that is a widowe in deede and left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and praiers night and day.
η δε οντως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι τον θεον και προσμενει ταις δεησεσιν και ταις προσευχαις νυκτος και ημερας
6 But shee that liueth in pleasure, is dead, while shee liueth.
η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν
7 These things therefore warne them of, that they may be blamelesse.
και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιληπτοι ωσιν
8 If there bee any that prouideth not for his owne, and namely for them of his housholde, hee denieth the faith, and is worse then an infidell.
ει δε τις των ιδιων και μαλιστα των οικειων ου προνοει την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number vnder three score yeere olde, that hath beene the wife of one husband,
χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενος ανδρος γυνη
10 And well reported of for good woorkes: if shee haue nourished her children, if shee haue lodged the strangers, if shee haue washed the Saintes feete, if shee haue ministred vnto them which were in aduersitie, if shee were continually giuen vnto euery good woorke.
εν εργοις καλοις μαρτυρουμενη ει ετεκνοτροφησεν ει εξενοδοχησεν ει αγιων ποδας ενιψεν ει θλιβομενοις επηρκεσεν ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν
11 But refuse the yonger widowes: for when they haue begun to waxe wanton against Christ, they will marrie,
νεωτερας δε χηρας παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν
12 Hauing damnation, because they haue broken the first faith.
εχουσαι κριμα οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν
13 And likewise also being idle they learne to goe about from house to house: yea, they are not onely ydle, but also pratlers and busibodies, speaking things which are not comely.
αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τας οικιας ου μονον δε αργαι αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα
14 I will therefore that the yonger women marie, and beare children, and gouerne the house, and giue none occasion to the aduersary to speake euill.
βουλομαι ουν νεωτερας γαμειν τεκνογονειν οικοδεσποτειν μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριας χαριν
15 For certaine are alreadie turned backe after Satan.
ηδη γαρ τινες εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα
16 If any faithfull man, or faithfull woman haue widowes, let them minister vnto them, and let not the Church bee charged, that there may bee sufficient for them that are widowes in deede.
ει τις πιστος η πιστη εχει χηρας επαρκειτω αυταις και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια ινα ταις οντως χηραις επαρκεση
17 The Elders that rule well, let them be had in double honour, specially they which labour in the worde and doctrine,
οι καλως προεστωτες πρεσβυτεροι διπλης τιμης αξιουσθωσαν μαλιστα οι κοπιωντες εν λογω και διδασκαλια
18 For the Scripture sayeth, Thou shalt not mousell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne: and, The labourer is worthie of his wages.
λεγει γαρ η γραφη βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεις και αξιος ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου
19 Against an Elder receiue none accusation, but vnder two or three witnesses.
κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου εκτος ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων
20 Them that sinne, rebuke openly, that the rest also may feare.
τους αμαρτανοντας ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν
21 I charge thee before God and the Lord Iesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou obserue these thinges without preferring one to an other, and doe nothing partially.
διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων ινα ταυτα φυλαξης χωρις προκριματος μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλισιν
22 Lay handes suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other mens sinnes: keepe thy selfe pure.
χειρας ταχεως μηδενι επιτιθει μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαις αλλοτριαις σεαυτον αγνον τηρει
23 Drinke no longer water, but vse a litle wine for thy stomakes sake, and thine often infirmities.
μηκετι υδροποτει αλλ οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον σου και τας πυκνας σου ασθενειας
24 Some mens sinnes are open before hand, and goe before vnto iudgement: but some mens folowe after.
τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν προαγουσαι εις κρισιν τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν
25 Likewise also the good woorkes are manifest before hande, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
ωσαυτως και τα καλα εργα προδηλα εστιν και τα αλλως εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυναται
