Chapter 5

1 Rebuke1969 not3361 an elder,4245 but235 entreat3870 him as5613 a father;3962 and the younger men3501 as5613 brethren;80

2 The elder women4245 as5613 mothers;3384 the younger3501 as5613 sisters,79 with1722 all3956 purity.47

3 Honor5091 widows5503 that are widows5503 indeed.3689

4 But1161 if1487 any5100 widow5503 have2192 children5043 or2228 nephews,1549 let them learn3129 first4412 to show piety2151 at2398 home,3624 and2532 to requite591 287 their parents:4269 for1063 that5124 is2076 good2570 and2532 acceptable587 before1799 God.2316

5 Now1161 she that is a widow5503 indeed,3689 and2532 desolate,3443 trusteth1679 in1909 God,2316 and2532 continueth4357 in supplications1162 and2532 prayers4335 night3571 and2532 day.2250

6 But1161 she that liveth in pleasure4684 is dead2348 while she liveth.2198

7 And2532 these things5023 give in charge,3853 that2443 they may be5600 blameless.423

8 But1161 if1487 any5100 provide not for4306 3756 his own,2398 and2532 especially3122 for those of his own house,3609 he hath denied720 the3588 faith,4102 and2532 is2076 worse5501 than an infidel.571

9 Let not3361 a widow5503 be taken into the number2639 under1640 threescore1835 years2094 old, having been1096 the wife1135 of one1520 man,435

10 Well reported of3140 for1722 good2570 works;2041 if1487 she have brought up children,5044 if1487 she have lodged strangers,3580 if1487 she have washed3538 the saints'40 feet,4228 if1487 she have relieved1884 the afflicted,2346 if1487 she have diligently followed1872 every3956 good18 work.2041

11 But1161 the younger3501 widows5503 refuse:3868 for1063 when3752 they have begun to wax wanton against2691 Christ,5547 they will2309 marry;1060

12 Having2192 damnation,2917 because3754 they have cast off114 their first4413 faith.4102

13 And1161 withal260 they learn3129 to be idle,692 wandering about from house to house;4022 3614 and1161 not3756 only3440 idle,692 but235 tattlers5397 also2532 and2532 busybodies,4021 speaking2980 things which they ought1163 not.3361

14 I will1014 therefore3767 that the younger women3501 marry,1060 bear children,5041 guide the house,3616 give1325 none3367 occasion874 to the3588 adversary480 to speak reproachfully.5484 3059

15 For1063 some5100 are already2235 turned aside1624 after3694 Satan.4567

16 If any1536 man4103 or2228 woman that believeth4103 have2192 widows,5503 let them relieve1884 them,846 and2532 let not3361 the3588 church1577 be charged;916 that2443 it may relieve1884 them that are widows5503 indeed.3689

17 Let the3588 elders4245 that rule4291 well2573 be counted worthy515 of double1362 honor,5092 especially3122 they who labor2872 in1722 the word3056 and2532 doctrine.1319

18 For1063 the3588 Scripture1124 saith,3004 Thou shalt not3756 muzzle5392 the ox1016 that treadeth out248 the corn. And,2532 The3588 laborer2040 is worthy514 of his848 reward.3408

19 Against2596 an elder4245 receive3858 not3361 an accusation,2724 but1622 1508 before1909 two1417 or2228 three5140 witnesses.3144

20 Them that sin264 rebuke1651 before1799 all,3956 that2443 others3062 also2532 may fear.2192 5401

21 I charge1263 thee before1799 God,2316 and2532 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 and2532 the3588 elect1588 angels,32 that2443 thou observe5442 these things5023 without5565 preferring one before another,4299 doing4160 nothing3367 by2596 partiality.4346

22 Lay2007 hands5495 suddenly5030 on no man,3367 neither3366 be partaker2841 of other men's245 sins:266 keep5083 thyself4572 pure.53

23 Drink no longer water,5202 3371 but235 use5530 a little3641 wine3631 for thy stomach's sake1223 4675 4751 and2532 thine4675 often4437 infirmities.769

24 Some5100 men's444 sins266 are1526 open beforehand,4271 going before4254 to1519 judgment;2920 and1161 some5100 men they2532 follow after.1872

25 Likewise5615 also2532 the3588 good2570 works2041 of some are2076 manifest beforehand;4271 and2532 they that are2192 otherwise247 cannot1410 3756 be hid.2928

Chapter 5

1 DO not rebuke an elder, but treat him as a father, and the younger men as your brothers;

2 And the elder women treat as mothers, and the younger as your sisters, with all purity.

3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.

4 And if any of the widows have children, or grandchildren, let them know that aid should be first sought from those of their own household so that the children have the opportunity to repay their obligations to their parents: for this is acceptable before God.

5 Now she who is indeed a widow and destitute, trusts in God, and is constant in prayers and supplications both night and day.

6 But she who lives wholly for pleasure is dead while she lives.

7 Continually charge them with these things, so that they may be blameless.

8 But, if any man does not provide for his own, and especially for those who are of his own household who are of the faith, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

9 When you select a worthy widow to help, select therefore one who is not less than three score years, who has been the wife of one man only,

10 And well spoken of for good works; if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the feet of the saints, if she has comforted the distressed, if she has been diligent in every good work.

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

12 Their judgment awaits them because they have been untrue to their first faith.

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

14 I would, therefore, that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage their own households, and give no occasion to the adversary for disdain.

15 For, as conditions are now, some have already strayed after Satan.

16 If any believers, either man or woman, have widows in their families, let them feed them, and do not let them be a burden on the congregation, so that the church may have enough for those who are widows indeed.

17 Let the elders who minister well be esteemed worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

18 For the scripture says: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that thresheth. And again, The laborer is worthy of his hire.

19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is supported by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

20 Those who sin, rebuke in the presence of all men, that others also may fear.

21 I adjure you before God and our LORD Jesus Christ, and his elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

22 Do not lay hands hastily on any man, neither be a partaker of other men's sins; keep yourself pure.

23 Do not drink water in excess, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake, and because of your frequent illnesses.

24 There are men whose crimes are well known and the notoriety of them precedes them to the house of judgment, and there are others, the notoriety of whose crimes follows after them.

25 Likewise also the fame of the good works of some is well known beforehand; and if their acts are otherwise, they cannot be hidden either.

3 Honor5091 widows5503 that are widows5503 indeed.3689

3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.

4 But1161 if1487 any5100 widow5503 have2192 children5043 or2228 nephews,1549 let them learn3129 first4412 to show piety2151 at2398 home,3624 and2532 to requite591 287 their parents:4269 for1063 that5124 is2076 good2570 and2532 acceptable587 before1799 God.2316

5 Now1161 she that is a widow5503 indeed,3689 and2532 desolate,3443 trusteth1679 in1909 God,2316 and2532 continueth4357 in supplications1162 and2532 prayers4335 night3571 and2532 day.2250

5 Now she who is indeed a widow and destitute, trusts in God, and is constant in prayers and supplications both night and day.

6 But1161 she that liveth in pleasure4684 is dead2348 while she liveth.2198

6 But she who lives wholly for pleasure is dead while she lives.

7 And2532 these things5023 give in charge,3853 that2443 they may be5600 blameless.423

7 Continually charge them with these things, so that they may be blameless.

8 But1161 if1487 any5100 provide not for4306 3756 his own,2398 and2532 especially3122 for those of his own house,3609 he hath denied720 the3588 faith,4102 and2532 is2076 worse5501 than an infidel.571

8 But, if any man does not provide for his own, and especially for those who are of his own household who are of the faith, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

9 Let not3361 a widow5503 be taken into the number2639 under1640 threescore1835 years2094 old, having been1096 the wife1135 of one1520 man,435

9 When you select a worthy widow to help, select therefore one who is not less than three score years, who has been the wife of one man only,

10 Well reported of3140 for1722 good2570 works;2041 if1487 she have brought up children,5044 if1487 she have lodged strangers,3580 if1487 she have washed3538 the saints'40 feet,4228 if1487 she have relieved1884 the afflicted,2346 if1487 she have diligently followed1872 every3956 good18 work.2041

10 And well spoken of for good works; if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the feet of the saints, if she has comforted the distressed, if she has been diligent in every good work.

11 But1161 the younger3501 widows5503 refuse:3868 for1063 when3752 they have begun to wax wanton against2691 Christ,5547 they will2309 marry;1060

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

12 Having2192 damnation,2917 because3754 they have cast off114 their first4413 faith.4102

12 Their judgment awaits them because they have been untrue to their first faith.

13 And1161 withal260 they learn3129 to be idle,692 wandering about from house to house;4022 3614 and1161 not3756 only3440 idle,692 but235 tattlers5397 also2532 and2532 busybodies,4021 speaking2980 things which they ought1163 not.3361

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

14 I will1014 therefore3767 that the younger women3501 marry,1060 bear children,5041 guide the house,3616 give1325 none3367 occasion874 to the3588 adversary480 to speak reproachfully.5484 3059

14 I would, therefore, that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage their own households, and give no occasion to the adversary for disdain.

15 For1063 some5100 are already2235 turned aside1624 after3694 Satan.4567

15 For, as conditions are now, some have already strayed after Satan.

16 If any1536 man4103 or2228 woman that believeth4103 have2192 widows,5503 let them relieve1884 them,846 and2532 let not3361 the3588 church1577 be charged;916 that2443 it may relieve1884 them that are widows5503 indeed.3689

16 If any believers, either man or woman, have widows in their families, let them feed them, and do not let them be a burden on the congregation, so that the church may have enough for those who are widows indeed.

17 Let the3588 elders4245 that rule4291 well2573 be counted worthy515 of double1362 honor,5092 especially3122 they who labor2872 in1722 the word3056 and2532 doctrine.1319

17 Let the elders who minister well be esteemed worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

18 For1063 the3588 Scripture1124 saith,3004 Thou shalt not3756 muzzle5392 the ox1016 that treadeth out248 the corn. And,2532 The3588 laborer2040 is worthy514 of his848 reward.3408

18 For the scripture says: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that thresheth. And again, The laborer is worthy of his hire.

19 Against2596 an elder4245 receive3858 not3361 an accusation,2724 but1622 1508 before1909 two1417 or2228 three5140 witnesses.3144

19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is supported by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

20 Them that sin264 rebuke1651 before1799 all,3956 that2443 others3062 also2532 may fear.2192 5401

20 Those who sin, rebuke in the presence of all men, that others also may fear.

21 I charge1263 thee before1799 God,2316 and2532 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 and2532 the3588 elect1588 angels,32 that2443 thou observe5442 these things5023 without5565 preferring one before another,4299 doing4160 nothing3367 by2596 partiality.4346

21 I adjure you before God and our LORD Jesus Christ, and his elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

22 Lay2007 hands5495 suddenly5030 on no man,3367 neither3366 be partaker2841 of other men's245 sins:266 keep5083 thyself4572 pure.53

22 Do not lay hands hastily on any man, neither be a partaker of other men's sins; keep yourself pure.

23 Drink no longer water,5202 3371 but235 use5530 a little3641 wine3631 for thy stomach's sake1223 4675 4751 and2532 thine4675 often4437 infirmities.769

23 Do not drink water in excess, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake, and because of your frequent illnesses.

24 Some5100 men's444 sins266 are1526 open beforehand,4271 going before4254 to1519 judgment;2920 and1161 some5100 men they2532 follow after.1872

24 There are men whose crimes are well known and the notoriety of them precedes them to the house of judgment, and there are others, the notoriety of whose crimes follows after them.

25 Likewise5615 also2532 the3588 good2570 works2041 of some are2076 manifest beforehand;4271 and2532 they that are2192 otherwise247 cannot1410 3756 be hid.2928

25 Likewise also the fame of the good works of some is well known beforehand; and if their acts are otherwise, they cannot be hidden either.
