1 Timothy 3

1 Trustworthy [is] the saying: If anyone overseership aspires to, of good a work he is desirous.

2 It behooves therefore the overseer above reproach to be, of one wife [the] husband, sober, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

3 not given to wine, not a striker (not greedy of base gain *K) but gentle, peaceable, not loving money,

4 [his] own house well managing, children having in submission with all dignity.

5 if but one his [own] household to manage not knows, how [the] church of God will he care for?

6 not a novice, that not having been puffed up into [the] judgment he may fall of the devil.

7 It behooves now (him *k) also a testimony good to have from those outside, so that not into reproach he may fall and [the] snare of the devil.

8 Deacons likewise [must be] dignified, not double-tongued, not to wine much being given, not greedy of dishonest gain,

9 holding to the mystery of the faith with clear a conscience.

10 Also these now they should be tested first, then they should serve blameless being.

11 Women likewise [must be] dignified, not slanderers, (clear-minded, *N+kO) faithful in all things.

12 Deacons should be of one wife husbands, [their] children well managing and [their] own households.

13 Those for well having served a standing for themselves good acquire and great confidence in [the] faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.

14 These things to you I am writing hoping to come to you (with *no) (speed; *N+kO)

15 if however I shall delay, so that you may know how it behooves [one] in [the] household of God to conduct oneself, which is [the] church of God [the] living, [the] pillar and base of the truth.

16 And confessedly great is the of godliness mystery: (Who *N+KO) was revealed in [the] flesh, was justified in [the] Spirit, beheld by angels, was proclaimed among [the] nations, was believed on in [the] world, was taken up in glory.
