Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as to a father. Treat younger men as brothers,
1πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξησ αλλα παρακαλει ωσ πατερα νεωτερουσ ωσ αδελφουσ
2older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
2πρεσβυτερασ ωσ μητερασ νεωτερασ ωσ αδελφασ εν παση αγνεια
3Honor the widows who are truly widows.
3χηρασ τιμα τασ οντωσ χηρασ
4But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
4ει δε τισ χηρα τεκνα η εκγονα εχει μανθανετωσαν πρωτον τον ιδιον οικον ευσεβειν και αμοιβασ αποδιδοναι τοισ προγονοισ τουτο γαρ εστιν αποδεκτον ενωπιον του θεου
5The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.
5η δε οντωσ χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι τον θεον και προσμενει ταισ δεησεσιν και ταισ προσευχαισ νυκτοσ και ημερασ
6But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.
6η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν
7Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach.
7και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιληπτοι ωσιν
8If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
8ει δε τισ των ιδιων και μαλιστα των οικειων ου προνοει την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων
9A widow should be enrolled if she is at least sixty years old, the wife of one man,
9χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενοσ ανδροσ γυνη
10and well known for good deeds such as bringing up children, entertaining strangers, washing the feet of the saints, imparting relief to the afflicted, and devoting herself to every good work.
10εν εργοισ καλοισ μαρτυρουμενη ει ετεκνοτροφησεν ει εξενοδοχησεν ει αγιων ποδασ ενιψεν ει θλιβομενοισ επηρκεσεν ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν
11But refuse to enroll younger widows. For when their passions draw them away from Christ, they will want to marry,
11νεωτερασ δε χηρασ παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν
12and thus will incur judgment because they are setting aside their first faith.
12εχουσαι κριμα οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν
13At the same time they will also learn to be idle, going from house to house and being not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, discussing things they should not mention.
13αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τασ οικιασ ου μονον δε αργαι αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα
14So I advise the younger widows to marry, have children, and manage their households, denying the adversary occasion for slander.
14βουλομαι ουν νεωτερασ γαμειν τεκνογονειν οικοδεσποτειν μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριασ χαριν
15For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
15ηδη γαρ τινεσ εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα
16If any believing woman has dependent widows, she must assist them and not allow the church to be burdened, so that it can help the widows who are truly in need.
16ει τισ πιστοσ η πιστη εχει χηρασ επαρκειτω αυταισ και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια ινα ταισ οντωσ χηραισ επαρκεση
17Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
17οι καλωσ προεστωτεσ πρεσβυτεροι διπλησ τιμησ αξιουσθωσαν μαλιστα οι κοπιωντεσ εν λογω και διδασκαλια
18For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
18λεγει γαρ η γραφη βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεισ και αξιοσ ο εργατησ του μισθου αυτου
19Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
19κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου εκτοσ ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων
20But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.
20τουσ αμαρτανοντασ ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν
21I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to maintain these principles without bias, and to do nothing out of partiality.
21διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων ινα ταυτα φυλαξησ χωρισ προκριματοσ μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλησιν
22Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
22χειρασ ταχεωσ μηδενι επιτιθει μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαισ αλλοτριαισ σεαυτον αγνον τηρει
23Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
23μηκετι υδροποτει αλλ οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον σου και τασ πυκνασ σου ασθενειασ
24The sins of some men are obvious, going ahead of them to judgment; but the sins of others do not surface until later.
24τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν προαγουσαι εισ κρισιν τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν
25In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.
25ωσαυτωσ και τα καλα εργα προδηλα εστιν και τα αλλωσ εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυνανται
