The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
17 qui bene praesunt presbyteri duplici honore digni habeantur maxime qui laborant in verbo et doctrina
17
The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.
18 dicit enim scriptura non infrenabis os bovi trituranti et dignus operarius mercede sua
18
For Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and “The worker deserves his wages.”
19 adversus presbyterum accusationem noli recipere nisi sub duobus et tribus testibus
19
Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.
20 peccantes coram omnibus argue ut et ceteri timorem habeant
20
But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove before everyone, so that the others may take warning.
21 testor coram Deo et Christo Iesu et electis angelis ut haec custodias sine praeiudicio nihil faciens in aliam partem declinando
21
I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.
22 manus cito nemini inposueris neque communicaveris peccatis alienis te ipsum castum custodi
22
Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 noli adhuc aquam bibere sed vino modico utere propter stomachum tuum et frequentes tuas infirmitates
23
Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
24 quorundam hominum peccata manifesta sunt praecedentia ad iudicium quosdam autem et subsequuntur
24
The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them.
25 similiter et facta bona manifesta sunt et quae aliter se habent abscondi non possunt
25
In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever.
