Fyrra bréf Páls til Tímót 5
Icelandic Bible
5 Ávíta þú ekki aldraðan mann harðlega, heldur áminn hann sem föður, yngri menn sem bræður,
2 aldraðar konur sem mæður, ungar konur sem systur í öllum hreinleika.
3 Heiðra ekkjur, sem í raun og veru eru ekkjur.
4 En ef einhver ekkja á börn eða barnabörn, þá læri þau fyrst og fremst að sýna rækt eigin heimili og endurgjalda foreldrum sínum, því að það er þóknanlegt fyrir augliti Guðs.
5 Sú sem er í raun og veru ekkja og er orðin munaðarlaus, festir von sína á Guði og er stöðug í ákalli og bænum nótt og dag.
6 En hin bílífa er dauð, þó að hún lifi.
7 Brýn þetta fyrir þeim, til þess að þær séu óaðfinnanlegar.
8 En ef einhver sér eigi fyrir sínum, sérstaklega heimilismönnum, þá hefur hann afneitað trúnni og er verri en vantrúaður.
9 Ekkja sé ekki tekin á skrá yfir ekkjur nema hún sé orðin fullra sextíu ára, eingift
10 og lofsamlega kunn að góðum verkum. Hún verður að hafa fóstrað börn, sýnt gestrisni, þvegið fætur heilagra, hjálpað bágstöddum og lagt stund á hvert gott verk.
11 En tak ekki við ungum ekkjum. Þegar þær verða gjálífar afrækja þær Krist, vilja giftast
12 og gerast þá sekar um að brjóta sitt fyrra heit.
13 Og jafnframt temja þær sér iðjuleysi, rápandi hús úr húsi, ekki einungis iðjulausar, heldur einnig málugar og hlutsamar og tala það, sem eigi ber að tala.
14 Ég vil því að ungar ekkjur giftist, ali börn, stjórni heimili og gefi mótstöðumanninum ekkert tilefni til illmælis.
15 Nokkrar hafa þegar horfið frá til fylgis við Satan.
16 Ef trúuð kona á fyrir ekkjum að sjá, skal hún sjá fyrir þeim, og eigi hafi söfnuðurinn þyngsli af, til þess að hann geti veitt hjálpina þeim, sem ekkjur eru og einstæðar.
17 Öldungar þeir, sem veita góða forstöðu, séu hafðir í tvöföldum metum, allra helst þeir sem erfiða í orðinu og í kennslu.
18 Því að ritningin segir: "Þú skalt ekki múlbinda uxann, er hann þreskir" og "verður er verkamaðurinn launa sinna."
19 Tak þú ekki við kæru gegn öldungi, nema tveir eða þrír vottar beri.
20 Ávíta brotlega í viðurvist allra, til þess að hinir megi hafa ótta.
21 Ég heiti á þig fyrir augliti Guðs og Krists Jesú og hinna útvöldu engla, að þú gætir þessa án nokkurs fordóms og gjörir ekkert af vilfylgi.
22 Eigi skalt þú fljótráðið leggja hendur yfir nokkurn mann. Tak eigi heldur þátt í annarra syndum, varðveit sjálfan þig hreinan.
23 Ver þú ekki lengur að drekka vatn, heldur skalt þú neyta lítils eins af víni vegna magans og veikinda þinna, sem eru svo tíð.
24 Syndirnar hjá sumum mönnum eru í augum uppi og eru komnar á undan, þegar dæma skal. En hjá sumum koma þær líka á eftir.
25 Á sama hátt eru góðverkin augljós, og þau, sem eru það ekki, munu ekki geta dulist.

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.

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.
