\subsection{I Timothy 5}
|
|
\VS{1} Do not rebuke [an] elder, but exhort [him] as [a] father, [and] younger [ones] as brothers,
|
|
\VS{2}
|
|
elder [women] as mothers, younger [women] as sisters, in all purity.
|
|
\VS{3} Be honoring
|
|
widows [who are] widows indeed.
|
|
\VS{4} But if any widow has children or descendants,
|
|
let\fnImperative{} them be learning first to be being pious at home
|
|
and to be rendering recompense to their parents, for this is acceptable
|
|
before God.
|
|
\VS{5} Now the [one being] widow indeed and solitary, hopes in God and
|
|
continues in entreaties and in prayers night and day.
|
|
\VS{6} But she zoe-living\fnZoe{} indulgently is dead [while] zoe-living\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{7} And be commanding these [things] in order that
|
|
they irreproachable.
|
|
\VS{8} But if any not provide for his own and
|
|
especially his own house, he has denied his faith and is worse [than a]
|
|
non-believer.
|
|
\VS{9} Let\fnImperative{} [a] widow be enrolled not less
|
|
than sixty years old, wife of one man,
|
|
\VS{10} testified of good works, if
|
|
she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable, if she has washed
|
|
[the] feet of [the] holy [ones], if she has helped those afflicted, if she has followed in every good. work.
|
|
\VS{11} But be refusing younger widows, for when they
|
|
feel-sensual-impulses-alienating-them from Christ, they want to be marrying,
|
|
\VS{12} having judgment because they rejected their first faith.
|
|
\VS{13} But besides, they learn [to be] lazy, going around the houses,
|
|
and not only lazy but also gossipy and meddlesome, speaking what they ought not.
|
|
\VS{14} I intend therefore [that] younger [widows] be marrying, to be bearing children, to be managing the
|
|
house, to be giving no occasion to the adversary because [she has cause for] reproach.
|
|
\VS{15} For some have already turned aside after Satan.
|
|
\VS{16} If any believer has
|
|
widows, let\fnImperative{} him be helping them, and
|
|
let\fnImperative{} the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} not be being burdened, in order that it
|
|
help [those who are] widows indeed.
|
|
\VS{17} Let\fnImperative{} the elders having
|
|
managed well be being worthy of double honor, especially those laboring in
|
|
word and teaching.
|
|
\VS{18} For the scripture says:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
You will not muzzle [the] threshing ox,
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
and:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
The worker [is] worthy of his reward.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{19} Against [an] elder be not receiving accusation, except upon two or three
|
|
witnesses.
|
|
\VS{20} Be rebuking those sinning before all, in order that the
|
|
rest have fear.
|
|
\VS{21} I charge [you] before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen
|
|
angels, that you guard these [things] without prejudice, doing nothing according to
|
|
partiality.
|
|
\VS{22} Be laying hands swiftly on no one, neither be partner
|
|
with another's sin --- be keeping yourself pure.
|
|
\VS{23} No longer drink
|
|
water, but use [a] little wine because [of your] belly and your frequent illness.
|
|
\VS{24} The sins of some men are evident, going before to judgment, and some
|
|
follow;
|
|
\VS{25} Likewise also the good works [of some] are evident, and those having
|
|
otherwise are not able to be hidden.
