PT Patriarchal Text (Antoniades 1904/1912)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξης, αλλα παρακαλει ως πατερα, νεωτερους ως αδελφους,
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
2 πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας, νεωτερας ως αδελφας εν παση αγνεια.
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 χηρας τιμα τας οντως χηρας.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
4 ει δε τις χηρα τεκνα η εκγονα εχει, μανθανετωσαν πρωτον τον ιδιον οικον ευσεβειν και αμοιβας αποδιδοναι τοις προγονοις· τουτο γαρ εστιν καλον και αποδεκτον ενωπιον του θεου.
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 η δε οντως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι τον θεον και προσμενει ταις δεησεσιν και ταις προσευχαις νυκτος και ημερας·
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 η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7 και ταυτα παραγγελλε, ινα ανεπιληπτοι ωσιν.
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
8 ει δε τις των ιδιων και μαλιστα των οικειων ου προνοει, την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων.
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 χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια, ενος ανδρος γυνη,
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
10 εν εργοις καλοις μαρτυρουμενη, ει ετεκνοτροφησεν, ει εξενοδοχησεν, ει αγιων ποδας ενιψεν, ει θλιβομενοις επηρκεσεν, ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν.
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 νεωτερας δε χηρας παραιτου· οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου, γαμειν θελουσιν,
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
12 εχουσαι κριμα, οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν·
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
13 αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τας οικιας, ου μονον δε αργαι, αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι, λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα.
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 βουλομαι ουν νεωτερας γαμειν, τεκνογονειν, οικοδεσποτειν, μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριας χαριν.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
15 ηδη γαρ τινες εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα.
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
16 ει τις πιστος η πιστη εχει χηρας, επαρκειτω αυταις, και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια, ινα ταις οντως χηραις επαρκεση.
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 οι καλως προεστωτες πρεσβυτεροι διπλης τιμης αξιουσθωσαν, μαλιστα οι κοπιωντες εν λογω και διδασκαλια·
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
18 λεγει γαρ η γραφη· βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεις· και· αξιος ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου.
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 κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου, εκτος ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων.
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
20 τους αμαρτανοντας ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε, ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
21 διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων, ινα ταυτα φυλαξης, χωρις προκριματος μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλησιν.
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 χειρας ταχεως μηδενι επιτιθει, μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαις αλλοτριαις· σεαυτον αγνον τηρει.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
23 μηκετι υδροποτει, αλλ οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον σου και τας πυκνας σου ασθενειας.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
24 τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν, προαγουσαι εις κρισιν, τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν·
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
25 ωσαυτως και τα καλα εργα προδηλα εστιν, και τα αλλως εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυνανται.
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).

  1. Commentary 5:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Timothy (Homily XIV)

    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.

  2. Quotes verse 5:4 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IX, Chapters IX–X)

    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.

  3. Quotes verse 5:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXI)

    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.

  4. Quotes verse 5:23 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture IV)

    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: …

  5. Quotes verse 5:21 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters XI–XIII)

    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 …
