1 Timothy 5
GOD’S WORD Translation
Guidelines for Dealing with Other Christians
5 Never use harsh words when you correct an older man, but talk to him as if he were your father. Talk to younger men as if they were your brothers, 2 older women as if they were your mothers, and younger women as if they were your sisters, while keeping yourself morally pure.
3 Honor widows who have no families. 4 The children or grandchildren of a widow must first learn to respect their own family by repaying their parents. This is pleasing in God’s sight.
5 A widow who has no family has placed her confidence in God by praying and asking for his help night and day. 6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead although she is still alive. 7 Insist on these things so that widows will have good reputations. 8 If anyone doesn’t take care of his own relatives, especially his immediate family, he has denied the Christian faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Any widow who had only one husband and is at least 60 years old should be put on your list ⌞of widows⌟. 10 People should tell about the good things she has done: raising children, being hospitable, taking care of believers’ needs, helping the suffering, or always doing good things.
11 Don’t include younger widows ⌞on your list⌟. Whenever their natural desires become stronger than their devotion to Christ, they’ll want to marry. 12 They condemn themselves by rejecting the Christian faith, the faith they first accepted. 13 At the same time, they learn to go around from house to house since they have nothing else to do. Not only this, but they also gossip and get involved in other people’s business, saying things they shouldn’t say.
14 So I want younger widows to marry, have children, manage their homes, and not give the enemy any chance to ridicule them. 15 Some of them have already turned away to follow Satan. 16 If any woman is a believer and has relatives who are widows, she should help them. In this way the church is not burdened and can help widows who have no families.
17 Give double honor to spiritual leaders [a] who handle their duties well. This is especially true if they work hard at teaching God’s word. 18 After all, Scripture says, “Never muzzle an ox when it is threshing [b] grain,” and “The worker deserves his pay.”
19 Don’t pay attention to an accusation against a spiritual leader unless it is supported by two or three witnesses. 20 Reprimand those leaders who sin. Do it in front of everyone so that the other leaders will also be afraid.
21 I solemnly call on you in the sight of God, Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels to be impartial when you follow what I’ve told you. Never play favorites.
22 Don’t be in a hurry to place your hands on anyone ⌞to ordain him⌟. Don’t participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself morally pure.
23 Stop drinking only water. Instead, drink a little wine for your stomach because you are frequently sick.
24 The sins of some people are obvious, going ahead of them to judgment. The sins of others follow them there. 25 In the same way, the good things that people do are obvious, and those that aren’t obvious can’t remain hidden.
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.
Първо Тимотей 5
Библия, синодално издание
5 Старец не укорявай, а увещавай го, като да ти е баща; по-младите пък, като да ти са братя,
2 старите жени – като майки, младите – като сестри, с всяка чистота.
3 Вдовици почитай – истинските вдовици.
4 Ако ли пък някоя вдовица има деца или внуци, нека те се научат първом да почитат своите домашни и да се отплащат на родителите си, защото това е добро и угодно пред Бога.
5 (A)А която е истинска вдовица и е останала сама, тя се надява на Бога и пребъдва в моления и молитви денем и нощем;
6 оная пък, която живее разпуснато, приживе е умряла.
7 Наръчвай им още и това, да бъдат безпорочни.
8 (B)Ако някой се не грижи за своите, а особено за домашните си, той се е отрекъл от вярата и е по-лош от неверник.
9 За вдовица да се приема жена не подолу от шейсет години, водила един мъж,
10 (C)известна с добри дела: ако е деца отхранила, странници пригледвала, нозе на светии умивала; ако е на страдалци помагала и всяко добро дело усърдно следвала.
11 А по-млади вдовици не приемай, защото, кога пренебрегнат Христа, искат да се женят.
12 Те подпадат под осъждане, защото са отхвърлили първото си обещание;
13 освен това, бидейки без работа, навикват да ходят от къща в къща; и не само са без работа, но са и бъбриви, любопитни и говорят, каквото не подобава.
14 И тъй, желая, щото по-младите вдовици да се женят, да раждат деца, да въртят къща и да не дават никакъв повод на противника за похула;
15 защото някои вече се повлякоха подир сатаната.
16 Ако някой верен или вярна имат в къщата си вдовици, да ги приглеждат, та църквата да се не товари и да може да приглежда истинските вдовици.
17 Презвитерите, които добре изпълняват предстоятелската си служба, да се удостояват с двойна почет, най-вече пък ония, които се трудят в слово и поучение.
18 (D)Защото Писанието казва: „не вързвай устата на вол, който вършее“, и: „работникът заслужава своята заплата“.
19 Обвинение против презвитер не приемай, освен при двама или трима свидетели.
20 Ония, които съгрешават, изобличавай пред всички, та и другите да имат страх.
21 (E)Заклевам те пред Бога, пред Господа Иисуса Христа и пред избраните Ангели, да спазваш това без предубеждение и да не вършиш нищо по пристрастие.
22 Ръце на никого не възлагай прибързано, нито ставай съучастник на чужди грехове. Пази себе си чист.
23 (F)Не пий вече само вода, но употребявай и малко вино, поради стомаха си и честите си боледувания.
24 Греховете на едни човеци са явни и ги предварят в съд, а на някои отсетне се явяват.
25 Също и добрите дела са явни; а които не са такива, не могат се утаи.
1 Timoteo 5
La Biblia de las Américas
5 No reprendas con dureza al anciano(A), sino, más bien, exhórtalo como a padre(B); a los más jóvenes, como a hermanos(C), 2 a las ancianas, como a madres; a las más jóvenes, como a hermanas, con toda pureza.
Responsabilidades hacia las viudas
3 Honra a las viudas que en verdad son viudas(D); 4 pero si alguna viuda tiene hijos o nietos, que aprendan estos primero a mostrar piedad para con su propia familia(E) y a recompensar[a] a sus padres, porque esto es agradable delante de Dios(F). 5 Pero la que en verdad es viuda(G) y se ha quedado sola, tiene puesta su esperanza en Dios(H) y continúa en súplicas y oraciones noche y día(I). 6 Mas la que se entrega a los placeres desenfrenados(J), aun viviendo, está muerta(K). 7 Ordena[b] también estas cosas(L), para que sean irreprochables. 8 Pero si alguno no provee para los suyos, y especialmente para los de su casa, ha negado la fe(M) y es peor que un incrédulo. 9 Que la viuda sea puesta en la lista solo si no es menor de sesenta años(N), habiendo sido la esposa de un solo marido(O), 10 que tenga testimonio de buenas obras(P); si ha criado hijos, si ha mostrado hospitalidad a extraños(Q), si ha lavado los pies de los santos(R), si ha ayudado a los afligidos(S) y si se ha consagrado[c] a toda buena obra. 11 Pero rehúsa poner en la lista a viudas más jóvenes, porque cuando sienten deseos sensuales(T), contrarios a Cristo, se quieren casar, 12 incurriendo así en condenación, por haber abandonado su promesa[d] anterior. 13 Y además, aprenden a estar ociosas, yendo de casa en casa; y no solo ociosas, sino también charlatanas(U) y entremetidas(V), hablando de cosas que no son dignas(W). 14 Por tanto, quiero que las viudas más jóvenes se casen(X), que tengan hijos, que cuiden su casa(Y) y no den al adversario ocasión de reproche(Z). 15 Pues algunas ya se han apartado(AA) para seguir a Satanás(AB). 16 Si alguna creyente tiene viudas en la familia(AC), que las mantenga(AD), y que la iglesia no lleve la carga para que pueda ayudar a las que en verdad son viudas(AE).
Otras recomendaciones
17 Los ancianos(AF) que gobiernan bien sean considerados dignos de doble honor(AG), principalmente los que trabajan(AH) en la predicación[e] y en la enseñanza. 18 Porque la Escritura dice: No pondrás bozal al buey cuando trilla(AI), y: El obrero es digno de su salario(AJ). 19 No admitas acusación contra un anciano(AK), a menos de que haya[f] dos o tres testigos(AL). 20 A los que continúan en pecado, repréndelos en presencia de todos(AM) para que los demás tengan temor de pecar(AN). 21 Te encargo solemnemente(AO) en la presencia de Dios y de Cristo Jesús y de sus ángeles escogidos, que conserves estos principios sin prejuicios, no haciendo nada con espíritu de parcialidad. 22 No impongas las manos sobre nadie con ligereza(AP), compartiendo[g] así la responsabilidad por los pecados de otros(AQ); guárdate libre de pecado[h]. 23 Ya no bebas agua sola, sino usa un poco de vino(AR) por causa de tu estómago y de tus frecuentes enfermedades. 24 Los pecados de algunos hombres son ya evidentes, yendo delante de ellos al juicio; mas a otros, sus pecados los siguen(AS). 25 De la misma manera, las buenas obras son evidentes, y las que no lo son no se pueden ocultar(AT).
