1 Timothy 5 Young's Literal Translation
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 An aged person thou mayest not rebuke, but be entreating as a father; younger persons as brethren;
1 NO reprendas al anciano, sino exhórtale como á padre: á los más jóvenes, como á hermanos;
2 aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters — in all purity;
2 A las ancianas, como á madres; á las jovencitas, como á hermanas, con toda pureza.
3 honour widows who are really widows;
3 Honra á las viudas que en verdad son viudas.
4 and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and 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 And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the 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 and she who is given to luxury, living — hath died;
6 Pero la que vive en delicias, viviendo está muerta.
7 and these things charge, that they may be blameless;
7 Denuncia pues estas cosas, para que sean sin reprensión.
8 and if any one for his own — and especially for those of the household — doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.
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 A widow — let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been 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.
10 in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;
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 and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,
11 Pero viudas más jóvenes no admitas: porque después de hacerse licenciosas contra Cristo, quieren casarse.
12 having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,
12 Condenadas ya, por haber falseado la primera fe.
13 and at the same time also, they learn [to be] idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things 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 wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;
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 already certain did turn aside after the Adversary.
15 Porque ya algunas han vuelto atrás en pos de Satanás.
16 If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.
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 The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,
17 Los ancianos que gobiernan bien, sean tenidos por dignos de doblada honra; mayormente los que trabajan en predicar y enseñar.
18 for the Writing saith, 'An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,' and 'Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.'
18 Porque la Escritura dice: No embozarás al buey que trilla; y: Digno es el obrero de su jornal.
19 Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.
19 Contra el anciano no recibas acusación sino con dos ó tres testigos.
20 Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;
20 A los que pecaren, repréndelos delante de todos, para que los otros también teman.
21 I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality.
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 Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;
22 No impongas de ligero las manos á ninguno, ni comuniques en pecados ajenos: consérvate en limpieza.
23 no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often 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 of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also 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 the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to 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 …
