1 Timothy · Πρὸς Τιμόθεον Αʹ

1 Timothy 5:16

Εἴ τις πιστὸς ἢ πιστὴ ἔχει χήρας, ἐπαρκείτω αὐταῖς, καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἡ ἐκκλησία, ἵνα ταῖς ὄντως χήραις ἐπαρκέσῃ.
Ei tis pistos ē pistē echei chēras, eparkeitō aytais, kai mē bareisthō ē ekklēsia, ina tais ontōs chērais eparkesē.
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

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.
