1 Timothy 5:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Do not address an older man harshly but appeal to him as a father. Speak to younger men as brothers,
2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters� with complete purity.
3 Honor widows who are truly in need.
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should first learn to fulfill their duty toward their own household and so repay their parents what is owed them. For this is what pleases God.
5 But the widow who is truly in need, and completely on her own, has set her hope on God and continues in her pleas and prayers night and day.
6 But the one who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.
7 Reinforce these commands, so that they will be beyond reproach.
8 But if someone does not provide for his own, especially his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 No widow should be put on the list unless she is at least sixty years old, was the wife of one husband,
10 and has a reputation for good works: as one who has raised children, practiced hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, helped those in distress� as one who has exhibited all kinds of good works.
11 But do not accept younger widows on the list, because their passions may lead them away from Christ and they will desire to marry,
12 and so incur judgment for breaking their former pledge.
13 And besides that, going around from house to house they learn to be lazy, and they are not only lazy, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things they should not.
14 So I want younger women to marry, raise children, and manage a household, in order to give the adversary no opportunity to vilify us.
15 For some have already wandered away to follow Satan.
16 If a believing woman has widows in her family, let her help them. The church should not be burdened, so that it may help the widows who are truly in need.
17 Elders who provide effective leadership must be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching.
18 For the scripture says, "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain," and, "The worker deserves his pay."
19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it can be confirmed by two or three witnesses.
20 Those guilty of sin must be rebuked before all, as a warning to the rest.
21 Before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, I solemnly charge you to carry out these commands without prejudice or favoritism of any kind.
22 Do not lay hands on anyone hastily and so identify with the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 (Stop drinking just water, but use a little wine for your digestion and your frequent illnesses.)
24 The sins of some people are obvious, going before them into judgment, but for others, they show up later.
25 Similarly good works are also obvious, and the ones that are not cannot remain hidden.
1 Rebuke G1969 not G3361 an elder, G4245 but G235 entreat G3870 him as G5613 a father; G3962 and the younger men G3501 as G5613 brethren; G80
2 The elder women G4245 as G5613 mothers; G3384 the younger G3501 as G5613 sisters, G79 with G1722 all G3956 purity. G47
3 Honor G5091 widows G5503 that are widows G5503 indeed. G3689
4 But G1161 if G1487 any G5100 widow G5503 have G2192 children G5043 or G2228 nephews, G1549 let them learn G3129 first G4412 to show piety G2151 at G2398 home, G3624 and G2532 to requite G591 G287 their parents: G4269 for G1063 that G5124 is G2076 good G2570 and G2532 acceptable G587 before G1799 God. G2316
5 Now G1161 she that is a widow G5503 indeed, G3689 and G2532 desolate, G3443 trusteth G1679 in G1909 God, G2316 and G2532 continueth G4357 in supplications G1162 and G2532 prayers G4335 night G3571 and G2532 day. G2250
6 But G1161 she that liveth in pleasure G4684 is dead G2348 while she liveth. G2198
7 And G2532 these things G5023 give in charge, G3853 that G2443 they may be G5600 blameless. G423
8 But G1161 if G1487 any G5100 provide not for G4306 G3756 his own, G2398 and G2532 especially G3122 for those of his own house, G3609 he hath denied G720 the G3588 faith, G4102 and G2532 is G2076 worse G5501 than an infidel. G571
9 Let not G3361 a widow G5503 be taken into the number G2639 under G1640 threescore G1835 years G2094 old , having been G1096 the wife G1135 of one G1520 man, G435
10 Well reported of G3140 for G1722 good G2570 works; G2041 if G1487 she have brought up children, G5044 if G1487 she have lodged strangers, G3580 if G1487 she have washed G3538 the saints' G40 feet, G4228 if G1487 she have relieved G1884 the afflicted, G2346 if G1487 she have diligently followed G1872 every G3956 good G18 work. G2041
11 But G1161 the younger G3501 widows G5503 refuse: G3868 for G1063 when G3752 they have begun to wax wanton against G2691 Christ, G5547 they will G2309 marry; G1060
12 Having G2192 damnation, G2917 because G3754 they have cast off G114 their first G4413 faith. G4102
13 And G1161 withal G260 they learn G3129 to be idle, G692 wandering about from house to house G4022 G3614 ; and G1161 not G3756 only G3440 idle, G692 but G235 tattlers G5397 also G2532 and G2532 busybodies, G4021 speaking G2980 things which they ought G1163 not. G3361
14 I will G1014 therefore G3767 that the younger women G3501 marry, G1060 bear children, G5041 guide the house, G3616 give G1325 none G3367 occasion G874 to the G3588 adversary G480 to speak reproachfully G5484 G3059 .
15 For G1063 some G5100 are already G2235 turned aside G1624 after G3694 Satan. G4567
16 If any G1536 man G4103 or G2228 woman that believeth G4103 have G2192 widows, G5503 let them relieve G1884 them, G846 and G2532 let not G3361 the G3588 church G1577 be charged; G916 that G2443 it may relieve G1884 them that are widows G5503 indeed. G3689
17 Let the G3588 elders G4245 that rule G4291 well G2573 be counted worthy G515 of double G1362 honor, G5092 especially G3122 they who labor G2872 in G1722 the word G3056 and G2532 doctrine. G1319
18 For G1063 the G3588 Scripture G1124 saith, G3004 Thou shalt not G3756 muzzle G5392 the ox G1016 that treadeth out G248 the corn. And, G2532 The G3588 laborer G2040 is worthy G514 of his G848 reward. G3408
19 Against G2596 an elder G4245 receive G3858 not G3361 an accusation, G2724 but G1622 G1508 before G1909 two G1417 or G2228 three G5140 witnesses. G3144
20 Them that sin G264 rebuke G1651 before G1799 all, G3956 that G2443 others G3062 also G2532 may fear G2192 G5401 .
21 I charge G1263 thee before G1799 God, G2316 and G2532 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and G2532 the G3588 elect G1588 angels, G32 that G2443 thou observe G5442 these things G5023 without G5565 preferring one before another, G4299 doing G4160 nothing G3367 by G2596 partiality. G4346
22 Lay G2007 hands G5495 suddenly G5030 on no man, G3367 neither G3366 be partaker G2841 of other men's G245 sins: G266 keep G5083 thyself G4572 pure. G53
23 Drink no longer water G5202, G3371 but G235 use G5530 a little G3641 wine G3631 for thy stomach's sake G1223 G4675 G4751 and G2532 thine G4675 often G4437 infirmities. G769
24 Some G5100 men's G444 sins G266 are G1526 open beforehand, G4271 going before G4254 to G1519 judgment; G2920 and G1161 some G5100 men they G2532 follow after. G1872
25 Likewise G5615 also G2532 the G3588 good G2570 works G2041 of some are G2076 manifest beforehand; G4271 and G2532 they that are G2192 otherwise G247 cannot G1410 G3756 be hid. G2928
