1 Do not scold an older man. Instead, exhort him as if he were a father. Exhort younger men as if they were brothers.
1 NO reprendas al anciano, sino exhórtale como á padre: á los más jóvenes, como á hermanos;
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
2 Exhort older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters in all purity.
2 A las ancianas, como á madres; á las jovencitas, como á hermanas, con toda pureza.
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 Honor widows, the real widows.
3 Honra á las viudas que en verdad son viudas.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show honor in their own household. Let them repay their parents, because this is pleasing to 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.
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 But a real widow is left all alone. She puts her certain hope in God. She always remains with requests and prayers both 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.
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 However, the woman who lives for pleasure is dead, even though she is still alive.
6 Pero la que vive en delicias, viviendo está muerta.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7 Give these instructions as well, so that they may be blameless.
7 Denuncia pues estas cosas, para que sean sin reprensión.
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
8 But if someone does not provide for his own relatives, especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
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.
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 Let a woman be enrolled as a widow who is not younger than sixty, a 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.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
10 She must be known for good deeds, whether it is that she has cared for children, or has been hospitable to strangers, or has washed the feet of the saints, or has relieved the afflicted, or has been devoted to 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.
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 But as for younger widows, refuse to enroll them in the list. For when they give in to bodily desires against Christ, they want to marry.
11 Pero viudas más jóvenes no admitas: porque después de hacerse licenciosas contra Cristo, quieren casarse.
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
12 In this way they incur guilt because they revoke their first commitment.
12 Condenadas ya, por haber falseado la primera fe.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
13 At the same time, they also learn to be lazy and they go around from house to house. They not only become lazy, but they also talk nonsense and are busybodies, saying things they should not say.
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.
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 I therefore want younger women to marry, to bear children, to manage the household, and to give no opportunity for the enemy to slander us.
14 Quiero pues, que las que son jóvenes se casen, críen hijos, gobiernen la casa; que ninguna ocasión den al adversario para maldecir.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
15 For some have already turned aside after Satan.
15 Porque ya algunas han vuelto atrás en pos de Satanás.
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
16 If any believing woman has widows, let her help them, so that the church will not be weighed down, so that it might help the real widows.
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.
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 Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work with the word and in teaching.
17 Los ancianos que gobiernan bien, sean tenidos por dignos de doblada honra; mayormente los que trabajan en predicar y enseñar.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
18 For the scripture says, “You shall not put a muzzle on an ox while it treads the grain” and “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
18 Porque la Escritura dice: No embozarás al buey que trilla; y: Digno es el obrero de su jornal.
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 Do not receive an accusation against an elder unless there are two or three witnesses.
19 Contra el anciano no recibas acusación sino con dos ó tres testigos.
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
20 Correct sinners before all so that the rest may be afraid.
20 A los que pecaren, repréndelos delante de todos, para que los otros también teman.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
21 I solemnly command you before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels, to keep these commands without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.
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.
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 Place hands hastily on no one. Do not share in the sins of another person. You should keep yourself pure.
22 No impongas de ligero las manos á ninguno, ni comuniques en pecados ajenos: consérvate en limpieza.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.

23 No bebas de aquí adelante agua, sino usa de un poco de vino por causa del estómago, y de tus continuas enfermedades.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
24 The sins of some people are openly known, and they go before them into judgment. But some sins follow later.
24 Los pecados de algunos hombres, antes que vengan [ellos] á juicio, son manifiestos; mas á otros les vienen después.
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
25 Likewise, some good works are openly known, but even the others cannot be hidden.
25 Asimismo las buenas obras antes son manifiestas; y las que son de otra manera, no pueden esconderse.
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.

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 …
