1 Timothy 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as a father. Treat younger men as brothers,	1 Πρεσβυτερον μη επιπληξης, αλλα προτρεπε ως πατερα, τους νεωτερους ως αδελφους,
2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters with complete purity.	2 τας πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας, τας νεωτερας ως αδελφας μετα πασης καθαροτητος.
3 Honor widows who are truly widows.	3 Τας χηρας τιμα τας αληθως χηρας.
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these first learn to perform their religious duty to their own family and to make recompense to their parents, for this is pleasing to God.	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.
5 The real widow, who is all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.	5 Η δε αληθως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ελπιζει επι τον Θεον και εμμενει εις τας δεησεις και τας προσευχας νυκτα και ημεραν?
6 But the one who is self-indulgent is dead while she lives.	6 η δεδομενη ομως εις τας ηδονας ενω ζη ειναι νεκρα.
7 Command this, so that they may be irreproachable.	7 Και ταυτα παραγγελλε, δια να ηναι αμεμπτοι.
8 And whoever does not provide for relatives and especially family members has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.	8 Αλλ' εαν τις δεν προνοη περι των εαυτου και μαλιστα των οικειων, ηρνηθη την πιστιν και ειναι απιστου χειροτερος.
9 Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years old, married only once,	9 Ας καταγραφηται χηρα ουχι ολιγωτερον των εξηκοντα ετων, ητις υπηρξεν ενος ανδρος γυνη,
10 with a reputation for good works, namely, that she has raised children, practiced hospitality, washed the feet of the holy ones, helped those in distress, involved herself in every good work.	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.
11 But exclude younger widows, for when their sensuality estranges them from Christ, they want to marry	11 Τας δε νεωτερας χηρας αποβαλλε? διοτι αφου εντρυφησωσι κατα του Χριστου, θελουσι να υπανδρευωνται,
12 and will incur condemnation for breaking their first pledge.	12 εχουσαι την καταδικην, διοτι ηθετησαν την πρωτην πιστιν?
13 And furthermore, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers but gossips and busybodies as well, talking about things that ought not to be mentioned.	13 και ενταυτω μανθανουσι να ηναι αργαι, περιερχομεναι τας οικιας, και ουχι μονον αργαι, αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι, λαλουσαι τα μη πρεποντα.
14 So I would like younger widows to marry, have children, and manage a home, so as to give the adversary no pretext for maligning us.	14 Θελω λοιπον αι νεωτεραι να υπανδρευωνται, να τεκνοποιωσι, να κυβερνωσιν οικον, να μη διδωσι μηδεμιαν αφορμην εις τον εναντιον να λοιδορη.
15 For some have already turned away to follow Satan.	15 Διοτι εξετραπησαν ηδη τινες οπισω του Σατανα.
16 If any woman believer has widowed relatives, she must assist them; the church is not to be burdened, so that it will be able to help those who are truly widows.	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.
17 Presbyters who preside well deserve double honor, especially those who toil in preaching and teaching.	17 Οι καλως προισταμενοι πρεσβυτεροι ας αξιονωνται διπλης τιμης, μαλιστα οσοι κοπιαζουσιν εις λογον και διδασκαλιαν?
18 For the scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it is threshing," and, "A worker deserves his pay."	18 διοτι λεγει η γραφη? Δεν θελεις εμφραξει το στομα βοος αλωνιζοντος? και, Αξιος ειναι ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου.
19 Do not accept an accusation against a presbyter unless it is supported by two or three witnesses.	19 Κατηγοριαν εναντιον πρεσβυτερου μη παραδεχου, εκτος δια στοματος δυο η τριων μαρτυρων.
20 Reprimand publicly those who do sin, so that the rest also will be afraid.	20 Τους αμαρτανοντας ελεγχε ενωπιον παντων, δια να εχωσι φοβον και οι λοιποι.
21 I charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to keep these rules without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.	21 Διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του Θεου και του Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων, να φυλαξης ταυτα, χωρις προτιμησεως, μηδεν πραττων κατα χαριν.
22 Do not lay hands too readily on anyone, and do not share in another's sins. Keep yourself pure.	22 Μη επιθετε χειρας ταχεως εις μηδενα, μηδε γινου κοινωνος αλλοτριων αμαρτιων? φυλαττε σεαυτον καθαρον.
23 Stop drinking only water, but have a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.	23 Μη υδροποτει πλεον, αλλα μεταχειριζου ολιγον οινον δια τον στομαχον σου και τας συχνας σου ασθενειας.
24 Some people's sins are public, preceding them to judgment; but other people are followed by their sins.	24 Τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι ειναι φανεραι, και προπορευονται αυτων εις την κρισιν, εις τινας δε και επακολουθουσιν?
25 Similarly, good works are also public; and even those that are not cannot remain hidden.	25 ωσαυτως και τα καλα εργα τινων ειναι φανερα, και οσα ειναι κατ' αλλον τροπον δεν δυνανται να κρυφθωσι.
