5 Do not mē rebuke epiplēssō but alla encourage parakaleō an older man presbyteros as hōs a father patēr, younger men neos as hōs brothers adelphos, ² older women presbyteros as hōs mothers mētēr, younger women neos as hōs sisters adelphē with en all pas purity hagneia.

³ Honor timaō widows chēra who ho are truly ontōs widows chēra. ⁴ But de if ei a certain tis widow chēra has echō children teknon or ē grandchildren ekgonos, let them learn manthanō to show godliness eusebeō first prōton to eusebeō · ho their own idios household oikos and kai to make apodidōmi some return amoibē to their ho parents progonos; for gar this houtos is eimi pleasing apodektos before enōpion · ho God theos. ⁵ But de the ho true ontōs widow chēra, · kai who has been left totally alone monoō, has set her hope elpizō on epi God theos and kai continues prosmenō in ho entreaties deēsis and kai · ho prayers proseuchē night nyx and kai day hēmera. ⁶ But de the ho one who has lived for pleasure spatalaō, even though living zaō, has died thnēskō. ⁷ Command parangellō these things houtos as well kai, so that hina they may be eimi above reproach anepilēmptos. ⁸ But de if ei anyone tis does pronoeō not ou care for pronoeō · ho his own idios, · kai especially malista his household members oikeios, he has disowned arneomai the ho faith pistis and kai is eimi worse cheirōn than an unbeliever apistos. ⁹ Let a widow chēra be enrolled katalegō if she is ginomai not mē less than elassōn sixty hexēkonta years old etos, a woman gynē of one heis man anēr, ¹⁰ being witnessed to martyreō by en good kalos deeds ergon, if ei she raised children teknotropheō, if ei she showed hospitality xenodocheō, if ei she washed niptō the feet pous of the saints hagios, if ei she helped eparkeō the afflicted thlibō, if ei she earnestly pursued epakoloutheō every pas good agathos work ergon. ¹¹ But de refuse paraiteomai to enroll younger neos widows chēra, for gar when hotan their passions draw them away katastrēniaō from ho Christ Christos, they desire thelō to marry gameō ¹² and come echō under judgment krima since hoti they abandoned atheteō their ho former prōtos faith pistis. ¹³ But de at the same time hama they manthanō also kai learn manthanō to be idlers argos, flitting about perierchomai among · ho houses oikia, but de not ou only monon idlers argos but alla also kai gossips phlyaros and kai busybodies periergos, speaking laleō about things ho that they should dei not mē. ¹⁴ So oun, I wish boulomai younger neos widows to marry gameō, to bear children teknogoneō, to manage their households oikodespoteō, to give didōmi the ho Accuser antikeimai no mēdeis occasion aphormē for charin slander loidoria, ¹⁵ for gar some tis have already ēdē strayed ektrepō after opisō · ho Satan Satanas. ¹⁶ If ei any tis believing pistos woman has echō widows chēra, let her care for eparkeō them autos, and kai the ho church ekklēsia should not mē be burdened bareō so that hina it may care for eparkeō the ho true ontōs widows chēra.

¹⁷ Let axioō the ho elders presbyteros who have been serving proistēmi well kalōs be considered worthy of axioō double diplous honor timē, namely malista, those ho who are laboring hard kopiaō at en preaching logos and kai teaching didaskalia. ¹⁸ For gar Scripture graphē says legō, · ho “ Do phimoō not ou muzzle phimoō an ox bous that is treading out aloaō the grain,” and kai, “ Worthy axios is the ho worker ergatēs of ho his autos wage misthos.” ¹⁹ Do paradechomai not mē accept paradechomai an accusation katēgoria against kata an elder presbyteros, except ektos ei on epi the evidence of two dyo or ē three treis witnesses martys. ²⁰ Confront elenchō those ho who persist in sinning hamartanō before enōpion everyone pas, so that hina · kai the ho rest loipos may stand in echō fear phobos. ²¹ I solemnly charge diamartyromai you before enōpion · ho God theos and kai Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous and kai the ho elect eklektos angels angelos that hina you keep phylassō these things houtos without chōris prejudging prokrima, doing poieō nothing mēdeis with kata partiality prosklisis. ²² Do epitithēmi not mēdeis lay epitithēmi hands cheir on anyone mēdeis quickly tacheōs or mēde share in koinōneō the sins hamartia of others allotrios; keep tēreō yourself seautou pure hagnos. ²³ ( No longer mēketi drink only water hydropoteō, but alla use chraomai a little oligos wine oinos, on account of dia your · ho stomach stomachos and kai · ho your sy frequent pyknos illnesses astheneia.) ²⁴ The ho sins hamartia of some tis people anthrōpos are eimi conspicuous prodēlos, going before proagō them into eis judgment krisis, but de they also kai follow after epakoloutheō some tis. ²⁵ So hōsautōs also kai the ho good kalos works ergon · ho of some are conspicuous prodēlos, and kai those ho that are echō not conspicuous allōs are dynamai not ou able dynamai to be hidden kryptō.

6 As many as hosos are eimi under hypo the yoke zygos as slaves should consider hēgeomai · ho their own idios masters despotēs as worthy axios of all pas honor timē so that hina the ho name onoma of ho God theos and kai the ho teaching didaskalia might not mē be blasphemed blasphēmeō. ² And de let those ho who have echō believing pistos masters despotēs not mē despise kataphroneō them because hoti they are eimi brothers adelphos; rather alla, let them serve douleuō all the more mallon since hoti those ho benefiting from antilambanō their ho act of kindness euergesia are eimi believers pistos and kai beloved agapētos. Teach didaskō and kai urge parakaleō these things houtos.

³ If ei someone tis teaches a different doctrine heterodidaskaleō and kai does not mē adhere proserchomai to the healthy hygiainō words logos · ho of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos and kai the ho teaching didaskalia that is according to kata godliness eusebeia, ⁴ he is puffed up with conceit typhoō, understanding epistamai nothing mēdeis, but alla has a sickly craving noseō for peri speculations zētēsis and kai fights about words logomachia out of ek which hos come ginomai envy phthonos, strife eris, slanders blasphēmia, evil ponēros suspicions hyponoia, ⁵ constant irritations diaparatribē among people anthrōpos who have been corrupted diaphtheirō in their ho mind nous and kai have been robbed apostereō of the ho truth alētheia, imagining nomizō that godliness eusebeia is eimi a means of profit porismos. · ho ⁶ Now de godliness eusebeia with meta contentment autarkeia is eimi great megas profit porismos. · ho ⁷ For gar we brought eispherō nothing oudeis into eis the ho world kosmos, and hoti neither oude are we able dynamai to take ekpherō anything tis out ; ⁸ but de having echō food diatrophē and kai clothing skepasma, with these houtos we will be content arkeō. ⁹ But de those ho wishing boulomai to be rich plouteō fall empiptō into eis temptation peirasmos and kai a snare pagis and kai many polys foolish anoētos and kai harmful blaberos passions epithumia that hostis plunge bythizō the ho people anthrōpos into eis ruin olethros and kai destruction apōleia. ¹⁰ For gar a root rhiza of all kinds pas of ho evils kakos is eimi the ho love of money philargyria, by which hos some tis, by their craving oregō, were led astray apoplanaō from apo the ho faith pistis and kai have pierced peripeirō themselves heautou with many polys pains odynē.

¹¹ But de you sy, man anthrōpos of God theos, flee pheugō these things houtos and de pursue diōkō righteousness dikaiosynē, godliness eusebeia, faith pistis, love agapē, endurance hypomonē, gentleness praupatheia. ¹² Fight agōnizomai the ho good kalos fight agōn of the ho faith pistis. Seize epilambanomai hold of the ho eternal aiōnios life zōē, to eis which hos you were called kaleō and kai about which you confessed homologeō the ho good kalos confession homologia before enōpion many polys witnesses martys. ¹³ I urge parangellō you sy, in the presence enōpion of ho God theos who ho gives life zōiogoneō to · ho all pas things and kai Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous who ho witnessed martyreō in the time epi of Pontius Pontios Pilate Pilatos the ho good kalos confession homologia, ¹⁴ to keep tēreō the ho commandment entolē unblemished aspilos and above reproach anepilēmptos until mechri the ho appearing epiphaneia of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, ¹⁵ which hos he will make known deiknymi at the proper idios time kairos. To the ho Blessed makarios and kai only monos Sovereign dynastēs, the ho King basileus of ho kings basileuō and kai Lord kyrios of ho lords kyrieuō, ¹⁶ the ho only monos one having echō immortality athanasia, the one dwelling in oikeō unapproachable aprositos light phōs, whom hos no oudeis person anthrōpos has seen or oude is able dynamai to see, to him hos be honor timē and kai might kratos forever aiōnios, Amen amēn. ¹⁷ Urge parangellō the ho rich plousios in en the ho present nyn age aiōn not mē to be haughty hypsēlophroneō, or mēde to set their hope elpizō on epi the uncertainty adēlotēs of riches ploutos but alla on epi God theos who ho grants parechō to us hēmeis all pas things richly plousiōs for eis our enjoyment apolausis, ¹⁸ to do good agathoergeō, to be rich plouteō in en good kalos deeds ergon, to be eimi generous eumetadotos, sharing koinōnikos, ¹⁹ laying up apothēsaurizō for themselves heautou a good kalos foundation themelios for eis the ho coming mellō age, so that hina they might seize hold epilambanomai of what ho is truly ontōs life zōē.

²⁰ O ō Timothy Timotheos, guard phylassō the ho deposit entrusted parathēkē to you, avoiding ektrepō the ho unholy bebēlos chatter kenophōnia and kai contradictions antithesis of what ho is falsely named pseudōnymos “ knowledge gnōsis,” ²¹ for by professing epangellomai it hos, some tis have swerved astocheō from peri the ho faith pistis. · ho Grace charis be with meta you hymeis.
