Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Seniorem ne increpaveris, sed obsecra ut patrem: juvenes, ut fratres:
1Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2anus, ut matres: juvenculas, ut sorores in omni castitate:
2The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3viduas honora, quæ vere viduæ sunt.
3Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4Si qua autem vidua filios, aut nepotes habet: discat primum domum suam regere, et mutuam vicem reddere parentibus: hoc enim acceptum est coram Deo.
4But 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.
5Quæ autem vere vidua est, et desolata, speret in Deum, et instet obsecrationibus, et orationibus nocte ac die.
5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6Nam quæ in deliciis est, vivens mortua est.
6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7Et hoc præcipe, ut irreprehensibiles sint.
7And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8Si quis autem suorum, et maxime domesticorum, curam non habet, fidem negavit, et est infideli deterior.
8But 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.
9Vidua eligatur non minus sexaginta annorum, quæ fuerit unius viri uxor,
9Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
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.
10Well 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.
11Adolescentiores autem viduas devita: cum enim luxuriatæ fuerint in Christo, nubere volunt:
11But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
12habentes damnationem, quia primam fidem irritam fecerunt;
12Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
13simul autem et otiosæ discunt circuire domos: non solum otiosæ, sed et verbosæ, et curiosæ, loquentes quæ non oportet.
13And 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.
14Volo ergo juniores nubere, filios procreare, matresfamilias esse, nullam occasionem dare adversario maledicti gratia.
14I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15Jam enim quædam conversæ sunt retro Satanam.
15For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16Si quis fidelis habet viduas, subministret illis, et non gravetur ecclesia: ut iis quæ vere viduæ sunt, sufficiat.
16If 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.
17Qui bene præsunt presbyteri, duplici honore digni habeantur: maxime qui laborant in verbo et doctrina.
17Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
18Dicit enim Scriptura: Non alligabis os bovi trituranti. Et: Dignus est operarius mercede sua.
18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19Adversus presbyterum accusationem noli recipere, nisi sub duobus aut tribus testibus.
19Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20Peccantes coram omnibus argue: ut et ceteri timorem habeant.
20Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
21Testor coram Deo et Christo Jesu, et electis angelis, ut hæc custodias sine præjudicio, nihil faciens in alteram partem declinando.
21I 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.
22Manus cito nemini imposueris, neque communicaveris peccatis alienis. Teipsum castum custodi.
22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
23Noli adhuc aquam bibere, sed modico vino utere propter stomachum tuum, et frequentes tuas infirmitates.
23Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
24Quorumdam hominum peccata manifesta sunt, præcedentia ad judicium: quosdam autem et subsequuntur.
24Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
25Similiter et facta bona, manifesta sunt: et quæ aliter se habent, abscondi non possunt.
25Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise can not be hid.
