PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 No reprendas a un hombre que es mayor que tú. Por el contrario, anímalo como si fuera tu padre. Trata a los hombres más jóvenes como hermanos,
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
1 Πρεσβυτέρῳ μὴ ἐπιπλήξῃς, ἀλλὰ παρακάλει ὡς πατέρα, νεωτέρους ὡς ἀδελφούς,
2 a las mujeres mayores que tú como madres; a las más jóvenes como hermanas, con los estándares más altos de decencia.
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
2 πρεσβυτέρας ὡς μητέρας, νεωτέρας ὡς ἀδελφὰς ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνείᾳ.
3 Ayuda a las viudas que no tienen familia.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
3 Χήρας τίμα τὰς ὄντως χήρας.
4 Pues la responsabilidad cristiana de los hijos o nietos de una viuda es cumplir con las obligaciones que exige su familia, y pagar a sus padres ayudándolos. Esto es lo que agrada a 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.
4 εἰ δέ τις χήρα τέκνα ἢ ἔκγονα ἔχει, μανθανέτωσαν πρῶτον τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον εὐσεβεῖν καὶ ἀμοιβὰς ἀποδιδόναι τοῖς προγόνοις· τοῦτο γάρ ἐστι καλὸν καὶ ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
5 Ahora pues, una verdadera viuda, que no tiene familia, que está sola y sin apoyo de nadie, pone su esperanza en Dios y ora pidiendo ayuda día y noche.
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.
5 ἡ δὲ ὄντως χήρα καὶ μεμονωμένη ἤλπικεν ἐπὶ τὸν Θεὸν καὶ προσμένει ταῖς δεήσεσι καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας·
6 Pero una viuda que solo se concentra en agradarse a sí misma, ya está muerta, aunque esté viva físicamente.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
6 ἡ δὲ σπαταλῶσα ζῶσα τέθνηκε.
7 Da estas instrucciones a la gente para que estén por encima de cualquier crítica.
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
7 καὶ ταῦτα παράγγελλε, ἵνα ἀνεπίληπτοι ὦσιν.
8 Pero los que no cuidan de sus parientes, especialmente de su propia familia, han negado sus creencias, y son peores que los incrédulos.
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.
8 εἰ δέ τις τῶν ἰδίων καὶ μάλιστα τῶν οἰκείων οὐ προνοεῖ, τὴν πίστιν ἤρνηται καὶ ἔστιν ἀπίστου χείρων.
9 Solo las viudas mayores de sesenta años que han sido fieles a sus esposos deben estar en la lista.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
9 Χήρα καταλεγέσθω μὴ ἔλαττον ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα γεγονυῖα, ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή,
10 La viuda debe tener reputación de hacer el bien. ¿Crió a sus hijos apropiadamente? ¿Ha sido hospitalaria? ¿Ha lavado los pies de otros miembros de la iglesia? ¿Ha ayudado a aquellos que estaban en dificultad? ¿Ha procurado hacer el bien en todas las formas?
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.
10 ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς μαρτυρουμένη, εἰ ἐτεκνοτρόφησεν, εἰ ἐξενοδόχησεν, εἰ ἁγίων πόδας ἔνιψεν, εἰ θλιβομένοις ἐπήρκεσεν, εἰ παντὶ ἔργῳ ἀγαθῷ ἐπηκολούθησε.
11 No anoten a las viudas que son más jóvenes, porque cuando sus deseos físicos les despierten el deseo por casarse, abandonarán su dedicación a Cristo.
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
11 νεωτέρας δὲ χήρας παραιτοῦ· ὅταν γὰρ καταστρηνιάσωσι τοῦ Χριστοῦ, γαμεῖν θέλουσιν,
12 En esto ellas son culpables de quebrantar su compromiso anterior.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
12 ἔχουσαι κρῖμα, ὅτι τὴν πρώτην πίστιν ἠθέτησαν·
13 Además ellas se acostumbran a una vida de pereza, donde simplemente se visitan unas a otras en sus casas. No solo son perezosas, sino que andan en chismes y se entrometen hablando de cosas que no deberían.
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.
13 ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἀργαὶ μανθάνουσι περιερχόμεναι τὰς οἰκίας, οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀργαί, ἀλλὰ καὶ φλύαροι καὶ περίεργοι, λαλοῦσαι τὰ μὴ δέοντα.
14 Así que mi mejor consejo es que las viudas que son más jóvenes se casen y tengan hijos y se ocupen del hogar. Así no habrá oportunidad para la crítica que proviene del Enemigo.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
14 βούλομαι οὖν νεωτέρας γαμεῖν, τεκνογονεῖν, οἰκοδεσποτεῖν, μηδεμίαν ἀφορμὴν διδόναι τῷ ἀντικειμένῳ λοιδορίας χάριν.
15 Sin embargo, algunos ya se han ido por el camino de Satanás.
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
15 ἤδη γάρ τινες ἐξετράπησαν ὀπίσω τοῦ σατανᾶ.
16 Toda mujer cristiana que tenga viudas en la familia debe ayudarlas, para que la iglesia no reciba la carga de tal responsabilidad y pueda ayudar a las viudas que realmente están en necesidad.
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.
16 εἴ τις πιστὸς ἢ πιστὴ ἔχει χήρας, ἐπαρκείτω αὐταῖς, καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἡ ἐκκλησία, ἵνα ταῖς ὄντως χήραις ἐπαρκέσῃ.
17 Los ancianos que dirigen la iglesia deberían ser considerados como doblemente valiosos, especialmente aquellos cuya obra es la predicación de la palabra y la enseñanza.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
17 Οἱ καλῶς προεστῶτες πρεσβύτεροι διπλῆς τιμῆς ἀξιούσθωσαν, μάλιστα οἱ κοπιῶντες ἐν λόγῳ καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ·
18 Como dice la Escritura: “No le pondrás bozal al buey cuando está trillando el trigo”. También dice: “El obrero merece 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.”
18 λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή· βοῦν ἀλοῶντα οὐ φιμώσεις· καί· ἄξιος ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ.
19 No consideres ninguna acusación en contra de un anciano a menos que existan dos o tres testigos que la apoyen.
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
19 κατὰ πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ δύο ἢ τριῶν μαρτύρων.
20 Censura frente a todos los demás a los que pecan, como una advertencia para los otros también.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
20 τοὺς ἁμαρτάνοντας ἐνώπιον πάντων ἔλεγχε, ἵνα καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ φόβον ἔχωσι.
21 Ante Dios y Cristo Jesús, y ante los santos ángeles, yo te instruyo con estas indicaciones sin prejuicio alguno. No actúes con favoritismo.
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.
21 διαμαρτύρομαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἀγγέλων, ἵνα ταῦτα φυλάξῃς, χωρὶς προκρίματος μηδὲν ποιῶν κατὰ πρόσκλησιν.
22 No te apresures a imponer tus manos sobre ninguno; y no participes en los pecados de los otros. Mantente puro.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
22 χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει, μηδὲ κοινώνει ἁμαρτίαις ἀλλοτρίαις· σεαυτὸν ἁγνὸν τήρει.
23 No bebas solamente agua, sino añade un poco de vino, por tu mal de estómago, pues te enfermas muy seguido.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
23 Μηκέτι ὑδροπότει, ἀλλ᾽ οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ διὰ τὸν στόμαχόν σου καὶ τὰς πυκνάς σου ἀσθενείας.
24 Los pecados de algunas personas son muy evidentes, y sin duda alguna son culpables, pero los pecados de otros no se logran ver hasta después.
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
24 Τινῶν ἀνθρώπων αἱ ἁμαρτίαι πρόδηλοί εἰσι, προάγουσαι εἰς κρίσιν, τισὶ δὲ καὶ ἐπακολουθοῦσιν·
25 Del mismo modo, algunas buenas obras son evidentes, e incluso las que están ocultas no seguirán así por mucho tiempo.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
25 ὡσαύτως καὶ τὰ καλὰ ἔργα πρόδηλά ἐστι, καὶ τὰ ἄλλως ἔχοντα κρυβῆναι οὐ δύνανται.

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.

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: …
