1 Timothy 5
5
1An aged person thou mayest not rebuke, but be entreating as a father; younger persons as brethren;
2aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters — in all purity;
3honour widows who are really widows;
4and 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.
5And 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,
6and she who is given to luxury, living — hath died;
7and these things charge, that they may be blameless;
8and 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.
9A widow — let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,
10in 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;
11and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,
12having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,
13and 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;
14I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;
15for already certain did turn aside after the Adversary.
16If 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.
17The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,
18for the Writing saith, ‘An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,’ and ‘Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.’
19Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.
20Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;
21I 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.
22Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;
23no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities;
24of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also they follow after;
25in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.

1 Timotiyos 5
5
1To a Zaken do not speak harsh rebuke. Rather entreat him as an abba. Treat the bochrim as achim (brothers).
2Elderly nashim treat as imahot (mothers); younger nashim as achayot (sisters) in all hatohar (moral purity).
3Honor [with support] almanot (widows) that are really almanot.
4But if any almanah has banim or bnei banim, let the banim or bnei banim learn first to show yirat Shomayim vis-a-vis their own bais and to render recompense to the horim (parents), for this is acceptable in the sight of Hashem.
5Now the true almanah, left alone, has set her tikvah on Hashem and continues in her techinnah#5:5 2:1 and her tefillos yomam valailah.
6But the one living in ahavat ta'anugot (hedonism) has died while living.
7And insist on these things, that the almanot be irreproachable.
8But if anyone does not get a parnasah to provide for his own mishpochah and especially his own bais, he has denied the emunah#5:8 of Moshiach and is worse than an Apikoros (skeptic, unbeliever).
9Let an almanah be enrolled on the#5:9 kehillah support list if she is not less than sixty years old, nesu'ah l'ish echad (a one man woman),
10being commended by ma'asim tovim, having brought up banim, having showed hachnosas orchim, having washed the feet of the Kedoshim, having given nechamah (comfort) to the oppressed, having devoted herself to every ma'aseh tov.
11But younger almanot refuse, for, when they have ta'avah (lust), in disregard of Moshiach they want nissu'in (marriage),#5:11 see 1Ti 5:9
12Having harsha'ah (condemnation, conviction), because their first havtachah (promise, pledge to ministry) they annulled.#5:12 1Ti 5:9
13And at the same time also they learn atzlut, going around house to house, and not only idle but also platke machers (gossipy intriguers) and busybodies, speaking things they ought not.
14Therefore, I counsel younger almanot to proceed with nissu'in (marriage), to bear banim, to manage the bais, giving no occasion to the mitnagged (opponent, antagonist) to reproach us.
15For already some almanot have turned aside to follow HaSatan.
16If any ma'aminah (believing woman) has in her mishpochah (family) almanot, let her assist her almanot and let not Moshiachʼs Kehillah be burdened, that indeed Moshiachʼs Kehillah may assist the ones who are true almanot.#5:16 1Ti 5:9
17Let the Zekenim#5:17 see Ex 12:21 (elders) who have ruled well be considered worthy of double kavod, especially the Zekenim laboring in Messianic hatafah (preaching) and Messianic hora'ah (teaching).
18For the Kitvei HaKodesh says, LO TACHSOM SHOR BEDISHO (You shall not muzzle the ox while he is treading out the grain),#5:18 Dt 25:4 and “Worthy is the workman of his wages.”#5:18 see Lk 10:7
19Do not receive an accusation against a Zaken (Elder), unless on the PI SHNI EDIM O AL PI SHLOSHA EDIM (testimony of two or three witnesses).#5:19 Dt 19:15
20The Zekenim that are sinning, expose before all, that the rest also may have yirat Shomayim.
21I charge you before Hashem and Moshiach Yehoshua and the malachim habechirim (chosen angels) that these directives you keep without discrimination, doing nothing on the mekor (basis) of masoh panim (partiality).
22Give s'michah quickly to no one nor participate in the chatta'im (sins) of others; keep yourself tahor.
23No longer drink only mayim, but use a little yayin because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
24With some, their chatta'im are obvious, going before them to mishpat, but with others, some chatta'im indeed follow after them.#5:24 to the Yom HaDin
25Likewise, also ma'asim tovim are borur (obvious), but even when they are not, they cannot be hidden.
