Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Mga Pananagutan sa Kapwa Mananampalataya
5 Huwag mong pagagalitan ang nakatatandang lalaki, kundi pagsabihan mo siya nang mahinahon na parang sarili mong ama. Pakitunguhan mo namang parang kapatid ang mga nakababatang lalaki. 2 Ituring mong parang sariling ina ang nakatatandang babae, at pakitunguhan mo nang may lubos na kalinisan ang mga kabataang babae na tulad sa iyong mga kapatid.
3 Igalang mo ang mga biyudang wala nang ibang maaasahan sa buhay. 4 Subalit kung ang isang biyuda ay may mga anak o apo, sila ang unang dapat kumalinga sa kanya bilang pagtanaw ng utang na loob, sapagkat ito ay nakalulugod sa Diyos. 5 Ang(A) biyuda na walang ibang maaasahan sa buhay ay sa Diyos na lamang umaasa, kaya't patuloy siyang nananalangin araw at gabi. 6 Samantala, ang biyudang mahilig sa kalayawan ay maituturing nang patay, bagaman siya'y buháy. 7 Ipatupad mo sa kanila ang utos na ito upang walang maisumbat sa kanila ang sinuman. 8 Ang sinumang hindi kumakalinga sa kanyang mga kamag-anak, lalo na sa mga kabilang sa kanyang pamilya, ay tumalikod na sa pananampalataya, at mas masama pa kaysa sa isang di-mananampalataya.
9 Ang biyudang dapat isama sa listahan ng tutulungan ay iyong di bababâ sa animnapung taong gulang, naging tapat sa kanyang asawa,[a] 10 kilala sa paggawa ng kabutihan, nagpalaki nang maayos sa kanyang mga anak, magiliw tumanggap sa nakikituloy sa kanyang tahanan, naglingkod nang may kababaang-loob[b] sa mga hinirang ng Diyos, tumulong sa mga nangangailangan at inialay ang sarili sa paggawa ng mabuti.
11 Huwag mong isasama sa listahan ang mga nakababatang biyuda, sapagkat kapag nag-alab ang kanilang pagnanasa, mapapalayo sila kay Cristo, at mag-aasawang muli. 12 Sa gayon, nagkakasala sila dahil sa hindi pagtupad sa una nilang pangako kay Cristo. 13 Bukod dito, sila'y nagiging tamad at nag-aaksaya ng panahon sa pangangapitbahay; at sila'y nagiging tsismosa, mahihilig makialam sa buhay ng may buhay at nagsasalita ng mga bagay na hindi nila dapat sabihin. 14 Kaya't para sa akin, mabuti pang sila'y mag-asawang muli, magkaanak at mag-asikaso ng tahanan, upang ang ating kaaway ay hindi magkaroon ng dahilan upang mapintasan tayo, 15 sapagkat may ilan nang biyudang sumunod kay Satanas.
16 Kailangang alagaan ng babaing mananampalataya ang mga kamag-anak nilang biyuda upang hindi sila maging pabigat sa iglesya. Sa gayon, ang aalagaan ng iglesya ay iyon lamang mga biyudang walang ibang maaasahan sa buhay.
17 Ang mga matatandang pinuno ng iglesya na mahusay mamahala ay karapat-dapat tumanggap ng paggalang at kabayaran, lalo na ang mga masigasig sa pangangaral at pagtuturo ng salita ng Diyos. 18 Sapagkat(B) sinasabi ng kasulatan, “Huwag mong bubusalan ang bibig ng baka habang ito'y gumigiik.” Nasusulat din, “Karapat-dapat lamang na bayaran ang manggagawa.”
19 Huwag(C) mong tatanggapin ang anumang paratang laban sa isang matandang pinuno ng iglesya kung walang patotoo ng dalawa o tatlong saksi.
20 Pagsabihan mo sa harap ng lahat ang sinumang ayaw tumigil sa paggawa ng masama para matakot ang iba.
21 Sa harap ng Diyos at ni Cristo Jesus at ng kanyang banal na mga anghel, iniuutos kong sundin mo ang mga bagay na ito nang walang kinikilingan o itinatangi. 22 Huwag mong ipapatong agad ang iyong kamay sa sinuman upang bigyan ito ng kapangyarihang mamahala. Ingatan mong huwag kang masangkot sa kasalanan ng iba; manatili kang walang dungis.
23 Huwag tubig lamang ang iyong inumin; uminom ka rin ng kaunting alak para sa madalas na pagsakit ng iyong sikmura.
24 May mga taong lantad na ang kasalanan bago pa dumating ang paghuhukom. At mayroon din namang ang kasalanan ay mahahayag sa bandang huli. 25 Gayundin naman, may mabubuting gawa na kapansin-pansin; at kung hindi man mapansin, ang mga ito'y hindi maililihim habang panahon.
1 Timothy 5
King James Version
5 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4 But 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.
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 But 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.
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.
10 Well 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.
11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
13 And 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.
14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16 If 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.
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
18 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
21 I 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.
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
25 Likewise 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, 2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
3 Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.(D) 4 But 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) 5 The 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. 6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.(J) 7 Give the people these instructions,(K) so that no one may be open to blame. 8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied(L) the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, 10 and 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.
11 As 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. 12 Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge. 13 Besides, 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. 14 So I counsel younger widows to marry,(S) to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander.(T) 15 Some have in fact already turned away to follow Satan.(U)
16 If 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)
17 The elders(W) who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor,(X) especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. 18 For Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,”[a](Y) and “The worker deserves his wages.”[b](Z) 19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elder(AA) unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.(AB) 20 But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove(AC) before everyone, so that the others may take warning.(AD) 21 I 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.
22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands,(AF) and do not share in the sins of others.(AG) Keep yourself pure.(AH)
23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine(AI) because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
24 The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. 25 In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever.

New King James Version
Treatment of Church Members
5 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
Honor True Widows
3 Honor widows who are really widows. 4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and (A)to repay their parents; for this is [a]good and acceptable before God. 5 Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers (B)night and day. 6 But she who lives in [b]pleasure is dead while she lives. 7 And these things command, that they may be blameless. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, (C)and especially for those of his household, (D)he has denied the faith (E)and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number, and not unless she has been the wife of one man, 10 well reported for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.
11 But [c]refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, 12 having condemnation because they have cast off their first [d]faith. 13 And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. 14 Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some have already turned aside after Satan. 16 If any believing [e]man or woman has widows, let them [f]relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.
Honor the Elders
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, (F)“You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, (G)“The laborer is worthy of his wages.” 19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except (H)from two or three witnesses. 20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.
21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the [g]elect angels that you observe these things without (I)prejudice, doing nothing with partiality. 22 Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor (J)share in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure.
23 No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent [h]infirmities.
24 Some men’s sins are (K)clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later. 25 Likewise, the good works of some are clearly evident, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
