3   Honour widows that are widows indeed.
χηρας τιμα τας οντως χηρας

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.
ει δε τις χηρα τεκνα η εκγονα εχει μανθανετωσαν πρωτον τον ιδιον οικον ευσεβειν και αμοιβας αποδιδοναι τοις προγονοις τουτο γαρ εστιν καλον και αποδεκτον ενωπιον του θεου

5   Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
η δε οντως χηρα και μεμονωμενη ηλπικεν επι τον θεον και προσμενει ταις δεησεσιν και ταις προσευχαις νυκτος και ημερας

6   But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
η δε σπαταλωσα ζωσα τεθνηκεν

7   And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
και ταυτα παραγγελλε ινα ανεπιληπτοι

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.
ει δε τις των ιδιων και μαλιστα των οικειων ου προνοει την πιστιν ηρνηται και εστιν απιστου χειρων

9   Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
χηρα καταλεγεσθω μη ελαττον ετων εξηκοντα γεγονυια ενος ανδρος γυνη

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.
εν εργοις καλοις μαρτυρουμενη ει ετεκνοτροφησεν ει εξενοδοχησεν ει αγιων ποδας ενιψεν ει θλιβομενοις επηρκεσεν ει παντι εργω αγαθω επηκολουθησεν

11   But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
νεωτερας δε χηρας παραιτου οταν γαρ καταστρηνιασωσιν του χριστου γαμειν θελουσιν
