1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 Timothy 5

1 Rules to be observed in reproving. 3 Of widows. 17 Of elders. 23 A precept for Timothy's health. 24 Some men's sins go before unto judgment, and some men's do follow after.

 5:1 ¶ An aged person thou mayest not rebuke, but be entreating as a father; younger persons as brethren;

 5:2 aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters—in all purity;

 5:3 honour widows who are really widows;

 5:4 and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

 5:5 And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,

 5:6 and she who is given to luxury, living—hath died;

 5:7 and these things charge, that they may be blameless;

 5:8 and if any one for his own—and especially for those of the household—doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

 5:9 A widow—let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,

 5:10 in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

 5:11 and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,

 5:12 having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,

 5:13 and at the same time also, they learn [to be] idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not;

 5:14 I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;

 5:15 for already certain did turn aside after the Adversary.

 5:16 If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.

 5:17 The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,

 5:18 for the Writing saith, 'An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,' and 'Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.'

 5:19 Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.

 5:20 Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;

 5:21 I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality.

 5:22 Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;

 5:23 no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities;

 5:24 of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also they follow after;

 5:25 in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.
