1 Timothy 5

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

2 To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.

3 Give honour to widows who are truly widows.

4 But if any widow has children or children's children, let these see that it is right to take care of their family and their fathers and mothers: for this is pleasing in the eyes of God.

5 Now she who is truly a widow and without family puts her hope in God, giving herself to prayer day and night.

6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she is living.

7 Give orders to this effect, so that no evil may be said of anyone.

8 If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.

9 Let no woman be numbered among the widows who is under sixty years old, and only if she has been the wife of one man,

10 And if witness is given of her good works; if she has had the care of children, if she has been kind to travellers, washing the feet of the saints, helping those who are in trouble, giving herself to good works.

11 But to the younger widows say No: for when their love is turned away from Christ, they have a desire to be married;

12 And they are judged because they have been false to their first faith;

13 And they get into the way of doing no work, going about from house to house; and not only doing no work, but talking foolishly, being over-interested in the business of others, saying things which they have no right to say.

14 So it is my desire that the younger widows may be married and have children, controlling their families, and giving the Evil One no chance to say anything against them,

15 For even now some are turned away to Satan.

16 If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.

17 Let rulers whose rule is good be honoured twice over, specially those whose work is preaching and teaching.

18 For the Writings say, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. And, The worker has a right to his reward.

19 Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.

20 Say sharp words to sinners when all are present, so that the rest may be in fear.

21 I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

22 Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean.

23 Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill.

24 The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.

25 In the same way, there are good works which are clearly seen; and those which are not so, may not be kept secret.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 To a Zaken do not speak harsh rebuke. Rather entreat him as an abba. Treat the bochrim as achim (brothers).

2 Elderly nashim treat as imahot (mothers); younger nashim as achayot (sisters) in all hatohar (moral purity).

3 Honor [with support] almanot (widows) that are really almanot.

4 But if any almanah has banim or bnei banim, let the banim or bnei banim learn first to show yirat Shomayim vis-a-vis their own bais and to render recompense to the horim (parents), for this is acceptable in the sight of Hashem.

5 Now the true almanah, left alone, has set her tikvah on Hashem and continues in her techinnah [2:1] and her tefillos yomam valailah.

6 But the one living in ahavat ta’anugot (hedonism) has died while living.

7 And insist on these things, that the almanot be irreproachable.

8 But if anyone does not get a parnasah to provide for his own mishpochah and especially his own bais, he has denied the emunah [of Moshiach] and is worse than an Apikoros (skeptic, unbeliever).

9 Let an almanah be enrolled on the [kehillah support] list if she is not less than sixty years old, nesu’ah l’ish echad (a one man woman),

10 being commended by ma’asim tovim, having brought up banim, having showed hachnosas orchim, having washed the feet of the Kadoshim, having given nechamah (comfort) to the oppressed, having devoted herself to every ma’aseh tov.

11 But younger almanot refuse, for, when they have ta’avah (lust), in disregard of Moshiach they want nissu’in (marriage, see v.9),

12 Having harsha’ah (condemnation, conviction), because their first havtachah (promise, pledge to ministry, v.9) they annulled.

13 And at the same time also they learn atzlut, going around house to house, and not only idle but also platke machers (gossipy intriguers) and busybodies, speaking things they ought not.

14 Therefore, I counsel younger almanot to proceed with nissu’in (marriage), to bear banim, to manage the bais, giving no occasion to the mitnagged (opponent, antagonist) to reproach us.

15 For already some almanot have turned aside to follow Hasatan.

16 If any ma’aminah (believing woman) has in her mishpochah (family) almanot, let her assist her almanot and let not Moshiach’s Kehillah be burdened, that indeed Moshiach’s Kehillah may assist the ones who are true almanot [v.9].

17 Let the Zekenim (elders, see SHEMOT 12:21) who have ruled well be considered worthy of double kavod, especially the Zekenim laboring in Messianic hatafah (preaching) and Messianic hora’ah (teaching).

18 For the Kitvei HaKodesh says, LO TACHSOM SHOR BEDISHO ("You shall not muzzle the ox while he is treading out the grain" DEVARIM 25:4), and "Worthy is the workman of his wages."

19 Do not receive an accusation against a Zaken (Elder), unless on the PI SHNI EDIM O AL PI SHLOSHA EDIM ("testimony of two or three witnesses" DEVARIM 19:15).

20 The Zekenim that are sinning, expose before all, that the rest also may have yirat Shomayim.

21 I charge you before Hashem and Moshiach Yehoshua and the malachim habechirim (chosen angels) that these directives you keep without discrimination, doing nothing on the mekor (basis) of masoh panim (partiality).

22 Give s’michah quickly to no one nor participate in the chatta’im (sins) of others; keep yourself tahor.

23 No longer drink only mayim, but use a little yayin because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

24 With some, their chatta’im are obvious, going before them to mishpat, but with others, some chatta’im indeed follow after them [to the Yom HaDin].

25 Likewise, also ma’asim tovim are borur (obvious), but even when they are not, they cannot be hidden.
