Berean Standard Bible
1πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξησ αλλα παρακαλει ωσ πατερα νεωτερουσ ωσ αδελφουσ
1Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as to a father. Treat younger men as brothers,
2πρεσβυτερασ ωσ μητερασ νεωτερασ ωσ αδελφασ εν παση αγνεια
2older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
3χηρασ τιμα τασ οντωσ χηρασ
3Honor the widows who are truly widows.
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
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.
5η δε οντωσ χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι τον θεον και προσμενει ταισ δεησεσιν και ταισ προσευχαισ νυκτοσ και ημερασ
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.
6η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν
6But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.
7και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιληπτοι ωσιν
7Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach.
8ει δε τισ των ιδιων και μαλιστα των οικειων ου προνοει την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων
8If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενοσ ανδροσ γυνη
9A widow should be enrolled if she is at least sixty years old, the wife of one man,
10εν εργοισ καλοισ μαρτυρουμενη ει ετεκνοτροφησεν ει εξενοδοχησεν ει αγιων ποδασ ενιψεν ει θλιβομενοισ επηρκεσεν ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν
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.
11νεωτερασ δε χηρασ παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν
11But refuse to enroll younger widows. For when their passions draw them away from Christ, they will want to marry,
12εχουσαι κριμα οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν
12and thus will incur judgment because they are setting aside their first faith.
13αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τασ οικιασ ου μονον δε αργαι αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα
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.
14βουλομαι ουν νεωτερασ γαμειν τεκνογονειν οικοδεσποτειν μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριασ χαριν
14So I advise the younger widows to marry, have children, and manage their households, denying the adversary occasion for slander.
15ηδη γαρ τινεσ εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα
15For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
16ει τισ πιστοσ η πιστη εχει χηρασ επαρκειτω αυταισ και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια ινα ταισ οντωσ χηραισ επαρκεση
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.
17οι καλωσ προεστωτεσ πρεσβυτεροι διπλησ τιμησ αξιουσθωσαν μαλιστα οι κοπιωντεσ εν λογω και διδασκαλια
17Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
18λεγει γαρ η γραφη βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεισ και αξιοσ ο εργατησ του μισθου αυτου
18For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
19κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου εκτοσ ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων
19Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
20τουσ αμαρτανοντασ ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν
20But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.
21διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων ινα ταυτα φυλαξησ χωρισ προκριματοσ μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλησιν
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.
22χειρασ ταχεωσ μηδενι επιτιθει μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαισ αλλοτριαισ σεαυτον αγνον τηρει
22Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23μηκετι υδροποτει αλλ οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον σου και τασ πυκνασ σου ασθενειασ
23Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
24τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν προαγουσαι εισ κρισιν τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν
24The sins of some men are obvious, going ahead of them to judgment; but the sins of others do not surface until later.
25ωσαυτωσ και τα καλα εργα προδηλα εστιν και τα αλλωσ εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυνανται
25In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.
