Prima lettera a Timoteo - 1 Timothy 5

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Πρεσβυτερον μη επιπληξης, αλλα προτρεπε ως πατερα, τους νεωτερους ως αδελφους,	1 An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren:
2 τας πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας, τας νεωτερας ως αδελφας μετα πασης καθαροτητος.	2 Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.
3 Τας χηρας τιμα τας αληθως χηρας.	3 Honour widows, that are widows indeed.
4 Εαν δε τις χηρα εχη τεκνα η εκγονα, ας μανθανωσι πρωτον να καθιστωσιν ευσεβη τον ιδιον αυτων οικον και να αποδιδωσιν αμοιβας εις τους προγονους αυτων. Διοτι τουτο ειναι καλον και ευπροσδεκτον ενωπιον του Θεου.	4 But if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God.
5 Η δε αληθως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ελπιζει επι τον Θεον και εμμενει εις τας δεησεις και τας προσευχας νυκτα και ημεραν?	5 But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 η δεδομενη ομως εις τας ηδονας ενω ζη ειναι νεκρα.	6 For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living.
7 Και ταυτα παραγγελλε, δια να ηναι αμεμπτοι.	7 And this give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 Αλλ' εαν τις δεν προνοη περι των εαυτου και μαλιστα των οικειων, ηρνηθη την πιστιν και ειναι απιστου χειροτερος.	8 But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 Ας καταγραφηται χηρα ουχι ολιγωτερον των εξηκοντα ετων, ητις υπηρξεν ενος ανδρος γυνη,	9 Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband.
10 ητις μαρτυρειται δια τα καλα αυτης εργα, εαν ανεθρεψε τεκνα, εαν περιεθαλψε ξενους, εαν ποδας αγιων ενιψεν, εαν θλιβομενους εβοηθησεν, εαν επηκολουθησεν εις παν εργον αγαθον.	10 Having testimony for her good works, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11 Τας δε νεωτερας χηρας αποβαλλε? διοτι αφου εντρυφησωσι κατα του Χριστου, θελουσι να υπανδρευωνται,	11 But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:
12 εχουσαι την καταδικην, διοτι ηθετησαν την πρωτην πιστιν?	12 Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith.
13 και ενταυτω μανθανουσι να ηναι αργαι, περιερχομεναι τας οικιας, και ουχι μονον αργαι, αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι, λαλουσαι τα μη πρεποντα.	13 And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 Θελω λοιπον αι νεωτεραι να υπανδρευωνται, να τεκνοποιωσι, να κυβερνωσιν οικον, να μη διδωσι μηδεμιαν αφορμην εις τον εναντιον να λοιδορη.	14 I will therefore that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil.
15 Διοτι εξετραπησαν ηδη τινες οπισω του Σατανα.	15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16 Εαν τις πιστος η πιστη εχη χηρας, ας προμηθευη εις αυτας τα αναγκαια, και ας μη επιβαρυνηται η εκκλησια, δια να δυναται να βοηθη τας αληθως χηρας.	16 If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed.
17 Οι καλως προισταμενοι πρεσβυτεροι ας αξιονωνται διπλης τιμης, μαλιστα οσοι κοπιαζουσιν εις λογον και διδασκαλιαν?	17 Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine:
18 διοτι λεγει η γραφη? Δεν θελεις εμφραξει το στομα βοος αλωνιζοντος? και, Αξιος ειναι ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου.	18 For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19 Κατηγοριαν εναντιον πρεσβυτερου μη παραδεχου, εκτος δια στοματος δυο η τριων μαρτυρων.	19 Against a priest receive not an accusation, but under two or three witnesses.
20 Τους αμαρτανοντας ελεγχε ενωπιον παντων, δια να εχωσι φοβον και οι λοιποι.	20 Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear.
21 Διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του Θεου και του Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων, να φυλαξης ταυτα, χωρις προτιμησεως, μηδεν πραττων κατα χαριν.	21 I charge thee before God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side.
22 Μη επιθετε χειρας ταχεως εις μηδενα, μηδε γινου κοινωνος αλλοτριων αμαρτιων? φυλαττε σεαυτον καθαρον.	22 Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men's sins. Keep thyself chaste.
23 Μη υδροποτει πλεον, αλλα μεταχειριζου ολιγον οινον δια τον στομαχον σου και τας συχνας σου ασθενειας.	23 Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent infirmities.
24 Τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι ειναι φανεραι, και προπορευονται αυτων εις την κρισιν, εις τινας δε και επακολουθουσιν?	24 Some men's sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after.
25 ωσαυτως και τα καλα εργα τινων ειναι φανερα, και οσα ειναι κατ' αλλον τροπον δεν δυνανται να κρυφθωσι.	25 In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
