1 Timothy 5

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Don't tell an older man off. Make an appeal to him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as if they were your brothers.

2 Treat older women as if they were your mothers. Treat younger women as if they were your sisters. Be completely pure in the way you treat them.

3 Take care of the widows who really need help.

4 But suppose a widow has children or grandchildren. They should first learn to put their faith into practice. They should care for their own family. In that way they will pay back their parents and grandparents. That pleases God.

5 The widow who really needs help and is left all alone puts her hope in God. Night and day she keeps on praying. Night and day she asks God for help.

6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still living.

7 Give those directions to the people also. Then no one can be blamed.

8 Everyone should provide for his own relatives. Most of all, everyone should take care of his own family. If he doesn't, he has left the faith. He is worse than someone who doesn't believe.

9 No widow should be put on the list of widows unless she is more than 60 years old. She must also have been faithful to her husband.

10 She must be well known for the good things she does. That includes bringing up children. It includes inviting guests into her home. It includes washing the feet of God's people. It includes helping those who are in trouble. A widow should spend her time doing all kinds of good things.

11 Don't put younger widows on that kind of list. They might want pleasure more than they want Christ. Then they would want to get married again.

12 If they do that, they will be judged. They have broken their first promise.

13 Besides, they get into the habit of having nothing to do. They go around from house to house. They waste time. They talk about others. They bother people. They say things they shouldn't say.

14 So here is the advice I give to younger widows. Get married. Have children. Take care of your own homes. Don't give the enemy the chance to tell lies about you.

15 In fact, some have already turned away to follow Satan.

16 Suppose a woman is a believer and has widows in her family. She should help them. She shouldn't let the church pay the expenses. Then the church can help the widows who really need it.

17 The elders who do the church's work well are worth twice as much honor. That is true in a special way of elders who preach and teach.

18 Scripture says, "Do not stop the ox from eating while it helps separate the grain from the straw."(Deuteronomy 25:4) Scripture also says, "Workers are worthy of their pay."(Luke 10:7)

19 Don't believe a charge against an elder unless two or three witnesses bring it.

20 Elders who sin should be corrected in front of the other believers. That will be a warning to the others.

21 I command you to follow those directions. I command you in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels. Treat everyone the same. Don't favor one person over another.

22 Don't be too quick to place your hands on others to set them apart to serve God. Don't take part in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

23 Stop drinking only water. If your stomach is upset, drink a little wine. It can also help the other sicknesses you often have.

24 The sins of some people are easy to see. They are already being judged. Others will be judged later.

25 In the same way, good works are easy to see. But even good works that are hard to see can't stay hidden.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 seniorem ne increpaveris sed obsecra ut patrem iuvenes ut fratres

2 anus ut matres iuvenculas ut sorores in omni castitate

3 viduas honora quae vere viduae sunt

4 si qua autem vidua filios aut nepotes habet discant primum domum suam regere et mutuam vicem reddere parentibus hoc enim acceptum est coram Deo

5 quae autem vere vidua est et desolata speravit in Deum et instat obsecrationibus et orationibus nocte ac die

6 nam quae in deliciis est vivens mortua est

7 et hoc praecipe ut inreprehensibiles sint

8 si quis autem suorum et maxime domesticorum curam non habet fidem negavit et est infideli deterior

9 vidua eligatur non minus sexaginta annorum quae fuerit unius viri uxor

10 in operibus bonis testimonium habens si filios educavit si hospitio recepit si sanctorum pedes lavit si tribulationem patientibus subministravit si omne opus bonum subsecuta est

11 adulescentiores autem viduas devita cum enim luxuriatae fuerint in Christo nubere volunt

12 habentes damnationem quia primam fidem irritam fecerunt

13 simul autem et otiosae discunt circumire domos non solum otiosae sed et verbosae et curiosae loquentes quae non oportet

14 volo ergo iuveniores nubere filios procreare matres familias esse nullam occasionem dare adversario maledicti gratia

15 iam enim quaedam conversae sunt retro Satanan

16 si qua fidelis habet viduas subministret illis et non gravetur ecclesia ut his quae vere viduae sunt sufficiat

17 qui bene praesunt presbyteri duplici honore digni habeantur maxime qui laborant in verbo et doctrina

18 dicit enim scriptura non infrenabis os bovi trituranti et dignus operarius mercede sua

19 adversus presbyterum accusationem noli recipere nisi sub duobus et tribus testibus

20 peccantes coram omnibus argue ut et ceteri timorem habeant

21 testor coram Deo et Christo Iesu et electis angelis ut haec custodias sine praeiudicio nihil faciens in aliam partem declinando

22 manus cito nemini inposueris neque communicaveris peccatis alienis te ipsum castum custodi

23 noli adhuc aquam bibere sed vino modico utere propter stomachum tuum et frequentes tuas infirmitates

24 quorundam hominum peccata manifesta sunt praecedentia ad iudicium quosdam autem et subsequuntur

25 similiter et facta bona manifesta sunt et quae aliter se habent abscondi non possunt
