Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as to a father. Treat younger men as brothers,
1Seniorem ne increpaveris, sed obsecra ut patrem: juvenes, ut fratres:
2older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
2anus, ut matres: juvenculas, ut sorores in omni castitate:
3Honor the widows who are truly widows.
3viduas honora, quæ vere viduæ sunt.
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.
4Si qua autem vidua filios, aut nepotes habet: discat primum domum suam regere, et mutuam vicem reddere parentibus: hoc enim acceptum est coram Deo.
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.
5Quæ autem vere vidua est, et desolata, speret in Deum, et instet obsecrationibus, et orationibus nocte ac die.
6But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.
6Nam quæ in deliciis est, vivens mortua est.
7Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach.
7Et hoc præcipe, ut irreprehensibiles sint.
8If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
8Si quis autem suorum, et maxime domesticorum, curam non habet, fidem negavit, et est infideli deterior.
9A widow should be enrolled if she is at least sixty years old, the wife of one man,
9Vidua eligatur non minus sexaginta annorum, quæ fuerit unius viri uxor,
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.
10in operibus bonis testimonium habens, si filios educavit, si hospitio recepit, si sanctorum pedes lavit, si tribulationem patientibus subministravit, si omne opus bonum subsecuta est.
11But refuse to enroll younger widows. For when their passions draw them away from Christ, they will want to marry,
11Adolescentiores autem viduas devita: cum enim luxuriatæ fuerint in Christo, nubere volunt:
12and thus will incur judgment because they are setting aside their first faith.
12habentes damnationem, quia primam fidem irritam fecerunt;
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.
13simul autem et otiosæ discunt circuire domos: non solum otiosæ, sed et verbosæ, et curiosæ, loquentes quæ non oportet.
14So I advise the younger widows to marry, have children, and manage their households, denying the adversary occasion for slander.
14Volo ergo juniores nubere, filios procreare, matresfamilias esse, nullam occasionem dare adversario maledicti gratia.
15For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
15Jam enim quædam conversæ sunt retro Satanam.
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.
16Si quis fidelis habet viduas, subministret illis, et non gravetur ecclesia: ut iis quæ vere viduæ sunt, sufficiat.
17Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
17Qui bene præsunt presbyteri, duplici honore digni habeantur: maxime qui laborant in verbo et doctrina.
18For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
18Dicit enim Scriptura: Non alligabis os bovi trituranti. Et: Dignus est operarius mercede sua.
19Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
19Adversus presbyterum accusationem noli recipere, nisi sub duobus aut tribus testibus.
20But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.
20Peccantes coram omnibus argue: ut et ceteri timorem habeant.
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.
21Testor coram Deo et Christo Jesu, et electis angelis, ut hæc custodias sine præjudicio, nihil faciens in alteram partem declinando.
22Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
22Manus cito nemini imposueris, neque communicaveris peccatis alienis. Teipsum castum custodi.
23Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
23Noli adhuc aquam bibere, sed modico vino utere propter stomachum tuum, et frequentes tuas infirmitates.
24The sins of some men are obvious, going ahead of them to judgment; but the sins of others do not surface until later.
24Quorumdam hominum peccata manifesta sunt, præcedentia ad judicium: quosdam autem et subsequuntur.
25In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.
25Similiter et facta bona, manifesta sunt: et quæ aliter se habent, abscondi non possunt.
