I Timothy 5

Πρεσβυτερον μη επιπληξης, αλλα προτρεπε ως πατερα, τους νεωτερους ως αδελφους,

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

τας πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας, τας νεωτερας ως αδελφας μετα πασης καθαροτητος.

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

Τας χηρας τιμα τας αληθως χηρας.

Honour widows that are widows indeed.

Εαν δε τις χηρα εχη τεκνα η εκγονα, ας μανθανωσι πρωτον να καθιστωσιν ευσεβη τον ιδιον αυτων οικον και να αποδιδωσιν αμοιβας εις τους προγονους αυτων. Διοτι τουτο ειναι καλον και ευπροσδεκτον ενωπιον του Θεου.

But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

Η δε αληθως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ελπιζει επι τον Θεον και εμμενει εις τας δεησεις και τας προσευχας νυκτα και ημεραν

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

η δεδομενη ομως εις τας ηδονας ενω ζη ειναι νεκρα.

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

Και ταυτα παραγγελλε, δια να ηναι αμεμπτοι.

And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

Αλλ εαν τις δεν προνοη περι των εαυτου και μαλιστα των οικειων, ηρνηθη την πιστιν και ειναι απιστου χειροτερος.

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Ας καταγραφηται χηρα ουχι ολιγωτερον των εξηκοντα ετων, ητις υπηρξεν ενος ανδρος γυνη,

Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

ητις μαρτυρειται δια τα καλα αυτης εργα, εαν ανεθρεψε τεκνα, εαν περιεθαλψε ξενους, εαν ποδας αγιων ενιψεν, εαν θλιβομενους εβοηθησεν, εαν επηκολουθησεν εις παν εργον αγαθον.

Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

Τας δε νεωτερας χηρας αποβαλλε διοτι αφου εντρυφησωσι κατα του Χριστου, θελουσι να υπανδρευωνται,

But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

εχουσαι την καταδικην, διοτι ηθετησαν την πρωτην πιστιν

Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

και ενταυτω μανθανουσι να ηναι αργαι, περιερχομεναι τας οικιας, και ουχι μονον αργαι, αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι, λαλουσαι τα μη πρεποντα.

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

Θελω λοιπον αι νεωτεραι να υπανδρευωνται, να τεκνοποιωσι, να κυβερνωσιν οικον, να μη διδωσι μηδεμιαν αφορμην εις τον εναντιον να λοιδορη.

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

Διοτι εξετραπησαν ηδη τινες οπισω του Σατανα.

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

Εαν τις πιστος η πιστη εχη χηρας, ας προμηθευη εις αυτας τα αναγκαια, και ας μη επιβαρυνηται η εκκλησια, δια να δυναται να βοηθη τας αληθως χηρας.

If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

Οι καλως προισταμενοι πρεσβυτεροι ας αξιονωνται διπλης τιμης, μαλιστα οσοι κοπιαζουσιν εις λογον και διδασκαλιαν

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

διοτι λεγει η γραφη Δεν θελεις εμφραξει το στομα βοος αλωνιζοντος και, Αξιος ειναι ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου.

For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

Κατηγοριαν εναντιον πρεσβυτερου μη παραδεχου, εκτος δια στοματος δυο η τριων μαρτυρων.

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

Τους αμαρτανοντας ελεγχε ενωπιον παντων, δια να εχωσι φοβον και οι λοιποι.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

Διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του Θεου και του Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων, να φυλαξης ταυτα, χωρις προτιμησεως, μηδεν πραττων κατα χαριν.

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

Μη επιθετε χειρας ταχεως εις μηδενα, μηδε γινου κοινωνος αλλοτριων αμαρτιων φυλαττε σεαυτον καθαρον.

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Μη υδροποτει πλεον, αλλα μεταχειριζου ολιγον οινον δια τον στομαχον σου και τας συχνας σου ασθενειας.

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

Τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι ειναι φανεραι, και προπορευονται αυτων εις την κρισιν, εις τινας δε και επακολουθουσιν

Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

ωσαυτως και τα καλα εργα τινων ειναι φανερα, και οσα ειναι κατ αλλον τροπον δεν δυνανται να κρυφθωσι.

Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
