WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 No reprendas al anciano, sino exhórtalo como a un padre, a los más jóvenes, como a hermanos,
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
2 a las ancianas, como a madres, a las más jóvenes, como a hermanas, con toda pureza.
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 Honra a [las ]viudas, las realmente viudas.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
4 Si alguna viuda tiene hijos o nietos, aprendan primero a mostrar piedad hacia su propia familia, y a dar recompensa a los progenitores, porque esto es agradable delante de Dios.
4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5 Sin embargo, [honra a] la que es realmente viuda y quedó sola, [que] fijó su esperanza en Dios, y persevera en las súplicas y en las conversaciones con Dios de noche y de día.
5 Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
6 Pero la que vive entregada a los placeres vanos, aunque vive, murió.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7 Manda también estas cosas para que sean irreprochables,
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
8 porque si alguno no provee para los suyos, y especialmente para los de su familia, negó la fe y es peor que un incrédulo.
8 But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Sea incluida en la lista [la] viuda no menor de 60 años que fue esposa de un solo esposo,
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
10 aprobada en buenas obras: si crió hijos, si mostró hospitalidad, si lavó [los ]pies de santos, si socorrió a afligidos y si siguió de cerca toda buena obra.
10 being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
11 Pero no incluyas viudas más jóvenes porque cuando sean impulsadas por deseos que están en conflicto con el afecto a Cristo, quieren casarse
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
12 y tienen acusación. Quebrantaron la primera promesa.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
13 Al mismo tiempo también aprenden a ser ociosas y vagan de casa en casa. Y no solo ociosas, sino también chismosas y entremetidas, pues hablan las cosas que no deben.
13 Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
14 Por tanto deseo que las más jóvenes se casen, críen hijos, manejen sus casas y no den al adversario ocasión de reproche.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
15 Porque algunas ya se extraviaron tras Satanás.
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
16 Si algún creyente tiene viudas, manténgalas, y no se cargue a la iglesia, a fin de que ayude a las que realmente son viudas.
16 If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don’t let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
17 Los ancianos que gobiernan bien sean considerados dignos de doble honor, especialmente los que trabajan arduamente en predicación y enseñanza.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
18 Porque la Escritura dice: No pondrás bozal al buey que trilla. Y: Digno es el trabajador de su pago.
18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
19 Contra un anciano no aceptes acusación, excepto delante de dos o tres testigos.
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
20 Reprende delante de todos a los que pecan, para que también los demás tengan temor.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
21 Declaro solemnemente delante de Dios, de Cristo Jesús y de los ángeles escogidos que observes estas cosas sin prejuicio, sin hacer acepción de personas.
21 I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
22 No impongas [las ]manos a alguno apresuradamente, ni participes en pecados ajenos. Consérvate puro.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
23 Ya no bebas agua, sino toma un poco de vino por causa de tus frecuentes enfermedades del estómago.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
24 Los pecados de algunos hombres son evidentes antes que lleguen al juicio, pero a otros [los pecados los] siguen.
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
25 Del mismo modo las buenas obras son evidentes, y las malas no se pueden esconder.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.

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 …
