Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
1πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξησ αλλα παρακαλει ωσ πατερα νεωτερουσ ωσ αδελφουσ
2the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
2πρεσβυτερασ ωσ μητερασ νεωτερασ ωσ αδελφασ εν παση αγνεια
3Honor widows who are widows indeed.
3χηρασ τιμα τασ οντωσ χηρασ
4But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable 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
5Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
5η δε οντωσ χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι τον θεον και προσμενει ταισ δεησεσιν και ταισ προσευχαισ νυκτοσ και ημερασ
6But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
6η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν
7Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
7και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιληπτοι ωσιν
8But if anyone doesn’t 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
9Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
9χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενοσ ανδροσ γυνη
10being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed 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 younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
11νεωτερασ δε χηρασ παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν
12having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
12εχουσαι κριμα οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν
13Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
13αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τασ οικιασ ου μονον δε αργαι αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα
14I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
14βουλομαι ουν νεωτερασ γαμειν τεκνογονειν οικοδεσποτειν μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριασ χαριν
15For already some have turned away after Satan.
15ηδη γαρ τινεσ εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα
16If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don’t let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
16ει τισ πιστοσ η πιστη εχει χηρασ επαρκειτω αυταισ και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια ινα ταισ οντωσ χηραισ επαρκεση
17Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
17οι καλωσ προεστωτεσ πρεσβυτεροι διπλησ τιμησ αξιουσθωσαν μαλιστα οι κοπιωντεσ εν λογω και διδασκαλια
18For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
18λεγει γαρ η γραφη βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεισ και αξιοσ ο εργατησ του μισθου αυτου
19Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
19κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου εκτοσ ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων
20Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
20τουσ αμαρτανοντασ ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν
21I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
21διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων ινα ταυτα φυλαξησ χωρισ προκριματοσ μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλησιν
22Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
22χειρασ ταχεωσ μηδενι επιτιθει μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαισ αλλοτριαισ σεαυτον αγνον τηρει
23Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
23μηκετι υδροποτει αλλ οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον σου και τασ πυκνασ σου ασθενειασ
24Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
24τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν προαγουσαι εισ κρισιν τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν
25In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
25ωσαυτωσ και τα καλα εργα προδηλα εστιν και τα αλλωσ εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυνανται
