1-е Тимофею 5

Russian Synodal Version

5 Старца не укоряй, но увещевай, как отца; младших, как братьев;

²стариц, как матерей; молодых, как сестер, со всякою чистотою.

³Вдовиц почитай, истинных вдовиц.

⁴Если же какая вдовица имеет детей или внучат, то они прежде пусть учатся почитать свою семью и воздавать должное родителям, ибо сие угодно Богу.

⁵Истинная вдовица и одинокая надеется на Бога и пребывает в молениях и молитвах день и ночь;

⁶а сластолюбивая заживо умерла.

⁷И сие внушай им, чтобы были беспорочны.

⁸Если же кто о своих и особенно о домашних не печется, тот отрекся от веры и хуже неверного.

⁹Вдовица должна быть избираема не менее, как шестидесятилетняя, бывшая женою одного мужа,

¹⁰известная по добрым делам, если она воспитала детей, принимала странников, умывала ноги святым, помогала бедствующим и была усердна ко всякому доброму делу.

¹¹Молодых же вдовиц не принимай, ибо они, впадая в роскошь в противность Христу, желают вступать в брак.

¹²Они подлежат осуждению, потому что отвергли прежнюю веру;

¹³притом же они, будучи праздны, приучаются ходить по домам и [бывают] не только праздны, но и болтливы, любопытны, и говорят, чего не должно.

¹⁴Итак я желаю, чтобы молодые вдовы вступали в брак, рождали детей, управляли домом и не подавали противнику никакого повода к злоречию;

¹⁵ибо некоторые уже совратились вслед сатаны.

¹⁶Если какой верный или верная имеет вдов, то должны их довольствовать и не обременять Церкви, чтобы она могла довольствовать истинных вдовиц.

¹⁷Достойно начальствующим пресвитерам должно оказывать сугубую честь, особенно тем, которые трудятся в слове и учении.

¹⁸Ибо Писание говорит: не заграждай рта у вола молотящего; и: трудящийся достоин награды своей.

¹⁹Обвинение на пресвитера не иначе принимай, как при двух или трех свидетелях.

²⁰Согрешающих обличай перед всеми, чтобы и прочие страх имели.

²¹Пред Богом и Господом Иисусом Христом и избранными Ангелами заклинаю тебя сохранить сие без предубеждения, ничего не делая по пристрастию.

²²Рук ни на кого не возлагай поспешно, и не делайся участником в чужих грехах. Храни себя чистым.

²³Впредь пей не [одну] воду, но употребляй немного вина, ради желудка твоего и частых твоих недугов.

²⁴Грехи некоторых людей явны и прямо ведут к осуждению, а некоторых [открываются] впоследствии.

²⁵Равным образом и добрые дела явны; а если и не таковы, скрыться не могут.

5 πρεσβυτερω μη επιπληξης αλλα παρακαλει ως πατερα νεωτερους ως αδελφους

²πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας νεωτερας ως αδελφας εν παση αγνεια

³χηρας τιμα τας οντως χηρας

⁴ει δε τις χηρα τεκνα η εκγονα εχει μανθανετωσαν πρωτον τον ιδιον οικον ευσεβειν και αμοιβας αποδιδοναι τοις προγονοις τουτο γαρ εστιν αποδεκτον ενωπιον του θεου

⁵η δε οντως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι [τον] θεον και προσμενει ταις δεησεσιν και ταις προσευχαις νυκτος και ημερας

⁶η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν

⁷και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιλημπτοι ωσιν

⁸ει δε τις των ιδιων και μαλιστα οικειων ου προνοει την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων

⁹χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενος ανδρος γυνη

¹⁰εν εργοις καλοις μαρτυρουμενη ει ετεκνοτροφησεν ει εξενοδοχησεν ει αγιων ποδας ενιψεν ει θλιβομενοις επηρκεσεν ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν

¹¹νεωτερας δε χηρας παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν

¹²εχουσαι κριμα οτι την πρωτην πιστιν ηθετησαν

¹³αμα δε και αργαι μανθανουσιν περιερχομεναι τας οικιας ου μονον δε αργαι αλλα και φλυαροι και περιεργοι λαλουσαι τα μη δεοντα

¹⁴βουλομαι ουν νεωτερας γαμειν τεκνογονειν οικοδεσποτειν μηδεμιαν αφορμην διδοναι τω αντικειμενω λοιδοριας χαριν

¹⁵ηδη γαρ τινες εξετραπησαν οπισω του σατανα

¹⁶ει τις πιστη εχει χηρας επαρκειτω αυταις και μη βαρεισθω η εκκλησια ινα ταις οντως χηραις επαρκεση

¹⁷οι καλως προεστωτες πρεσβυτεροι διπλης τιμης αξιουσθωσαν μαλιστα οι κοπιωντες εν λογω και διδασκαλια

¹⁸λεγει γαρ η γραφη βουν αλοωντα ου φιμωσεις και αξιος ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου

¹⁹κατα πρεσβυτερου κατηγοριαν μη παραδεχου εκτος ει μη επι δυο η τριων μαρτυρων

²⁰τους [δε] αμαρτανοντας ενωπιον παντων ελεγχε ινα και οι λοιποι φοβον εχωσιν

²¹διαμαρτυρομαι ενωπιον του θεου και χριστου ιησου και των εκλεκτων αγγελων ινα ταυτα φυλαξης χωρις προκριματος μηδεν ποιων κατα προσκλισιν

²²χειρας ταχεως μηδενι επιτιθει μηδε κοινωνει αμαρτιαις αλλοτριαις σεαυτον αγνον τηρει

²³μηκετι υδροποτει αλλα οινω ολιγω χρω δια τον στομαχον και τας πυκνας σου ασθενειας

²⁴τινων ανθρωπων αι αμαρτιαι προδηλοι εισιν προαγουσαι εις κρισιν τισιν δε και επακολουθουσιν

²⁵ωσαυτως και τα εργα τα καλα προδηλα και τα αλλως εχοντα κρυβηναι ου δυνανται

1 Timothy 5

King James Version

5 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

²The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

³Honour widows that are widows indeed.

⁴But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

⁵Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

⁶But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

⁷And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

⁸But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

⁹Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.

¹⁰Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

¹¹But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

¹²Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

¹³And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

¹⁴I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

¹⁵For some are already turned aside after Satan.

¹⁶If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

¹⁷Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

¹⁸For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

¹⁹Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

²⁰Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

²¹I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

²²Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

²³Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

²⁴Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

²⁵Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

1 Timothy 5

New International Version

Widows, Elders and Slaves

5 Do not rebuke an older man^(A) harshly,^(B) but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men^(C) as brothers, ²older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.

³Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.^(D) ⁴But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents,^(E) for this is pleasing to God.^(F) ⁵The widow who is really in need^(G) and left all alone puts her hope in God^(H) and continues night and day to pray^(I) and to ask God for help. ⁶But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.^(J) ⁷Give the people these instructions,^(K) so that no one may be open to blame. ⁸Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied^(L) the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

⁹No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, ¹⁰and is well known for her good deeds,^(M) such as bringing up children, showing hospitality,^(N) washing the feet^(O) of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble^(P) and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.

¹¹As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry. ¹²Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge. ¹³Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies^(Q) who talk nonsense,^(R) saying things they ought not to. ¹⁴So I counsel younger widows to marry,^(S) to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander.^(T) ¹⁵Some have in fact already turned away to follow Satan.^(U)

¹⁶If any woman who is a believer has widows in her care, she should continue to help them and not let the church be burdened with them, so that the church can help those widows who are really in need.^(V)

¹⁷The elders^(W) who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor,^(X) especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. ¹⁸For Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,”^[a]^(Y) and “The worker deserves his wages.”^[b]^(Z) ¹⁹Do not entertain an accusation against an elder^(AA) unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.^(AB) ²⁰But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove^(AC) before everyone, so that the others may take warning.^(AD) ²¹I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus^(AE) and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.

²²Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands,^(AF) and do not share in the sins of others.^(AG) Keep yourself pure.^(AH)

²³Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine^(AI) because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

²⁴The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. ²⁵In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever.
