Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren:
1 NO reprendas al anciano, sino exhórtale como á padre: á los más jóvenes, como á hermanos;
2 Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.
2 A las ancianas, como á madres; á las jovencitas, como á hermanas, con toda pureza.
3 Honour widows, that are widows indeed.
3 Honra á las viudas que en verdad son viudas.
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.
4 Pero si alguna viuda tuviere hijos, ó nietos, aprendan primero á gobernar su casa piadosamente, y á recompensar á sus padres: porque esto es lo honesto y agradable delante de Dios.
5 But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.
5 Ahora, la que en verdad es viuda y solitaria, espera en Dios, y es diligente en suplicaciones y oraciones noche y día.
6 For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living.
6 Pero la que vive en delicias, viviendo está muerta.
7 And this give in charge, that they may be blameless.
7 Denuncia pues estas cosas, para que sean sin reprensión.
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.
8 Y si alguno no tiene cuidado de los suyos, y mayormente de los de su casa, la fe negó, y es peor que un infiel.
9 Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband.
9 La viuda sea puesta en clase [especial], no menos que de sesenta años, que haya sido esposa de un [solo] marido.
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.
10 Que tenga testimonio en buenas obras; si crió hijos; si ha ejercitado la hospitalidad; si ha lavado los pies de los santos; si ha socorrido á los afligidos; si ha seguido toda buena obra.
11 But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:
11 Pero viudas más jóvenes no admitas: porque después de hacerse licenciosas contra Cristo, quieren casarse.
12 Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith.
12 Condenadas ya, por haber falseado la primera fe.
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.
13 Y aun también se acostumbran [á ser] ociosas, á andar de casa en casa; y no solamente ociosas, sino también parleras y curiosas, hablando lo que no conviene.
14 I will therefore that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil.
14 Quiero pues, que las que son jóvenes se casen, críen hijos, gobiernen la casa; que ninguna ocasión den al adversario para maldecir.
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
15 Porque ya algunas han vuelto atrás en pos de Satanás.
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.
16 Si algún fiel ó alguna fiel tiene viudas, manténgalas, y no sea gravada la iglesia; á fin de que haya lo suficiente para las que de verdad son viudas.
17 Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine:
17 Los ancianos que gobiernan bien, sean tenidos por dignos de doblada honra; mayormente los que trabajan en predicar y enseñar.
18 For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
18 Porque la Escritura dice: No embozarás al buey que trilla; y: Digno es el obrero de su jornal.
19 Against a priest receive not an accusation, but under two or three witnesses.
19 Contra el anciano no recibas acusación sino con dos ó tres testigos.
20 Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear.
20 A los que pecaren, repréndelos delante de todos, para que los otros también teman.
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.
21 [Te] requiero delante de Dios y del Señor Jesucristo, y de sus ángeles escogidos, que guardes estas cosas sin perjuicio de nadie, que nada hagas inclinándote á la una parte.
22 Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins. Keep thyself chaste.
22 No impongas de ligero las manos á ninguno, ni comuniques en pecados ajenos: consérvate en limpieza.
23 Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake, and thy frequent infirmities.
23 No bebas de aquí adelante agua, sino usa de un poco de vino por causa del estómago, y de tus continuas enfermedades.
24 Some men’s sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after.
24 Los pecados de algunos hombres, antes que vengan [ellos] á juicio, son manifiestos; mas á otros les vienen después.
25 In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
25 Asimismo las buenas obras antes son manifiestas; y las que son de otra manera, no pueden esconderse.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Many consider that their own virtue is sufficient for their salvation, and if they duly regulate their own life, that nothing further is wanting to save them.

For she had "been the wife of one man," had requited her parents, had guided her house piously, was "well-reported of for good works," had "brought up children," as often travailing in birth of them as she saw them swerving from Thee.

Hear even Paul pronouncing this widowhood blessed, and saying, "Now she that is a widow indeed and desolate, trusteth in the Lord." Because such an one will appear more approved, evincing as she doth greater patience.

Despise not therefore them that eat, and because of the weakness of their bodies partake of food: nor yet blame these who use a little wine for their stomach's sake and their often infirmities: and neither condemn the men as sinners, nor abhor the flesh as strange food; for the Apostle knows some of this sort, when he says: …

The apostle, for instance, in his charge to Timothy, associates the angels with them in the words, "I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels." We are not for alienating the angels from the rest of creation, and yet, it is argued, we do not allow of their being reckoned with the Father and …
