1
This [is] a true [4103] saying [3056], If a man [1536] desire [3713] [5731] the office of a bishop [1984], he desireth [1937] [5719] a good [2570] work [2041].
2
A bishop [1985] then [3767] must [1163] [5748] be [1511] [5750] blameless [0423], the husband [0435] of one [3391] wife [1135], vigilant [3524], sober [4998], of good behaviour [2887], given to hospitality [5382], apt to teach [1317];
3
Not [3361] given to wine [3943], no [3361] striker [4131], not [3361] greedy of filthy lucre [0146]; but [0235] patient [1933], not a brawler [0269], not covetous [0866];
4
One that ruleth [4291] [5734] well [2573] his own [2398] house [3624], having [2192] [5723] his children [5043] in [1722] subjection [5292] with [3326] all [3956] gravity [4587];
5
(For [1161] if a man [1536] know [1492] [0000] not [3756] how [1492] [5758] to rule [4291] [5629] his own [2398] house [3624], how [4459] shall he take care of [1959] [5695] the church [1577] of God [2316])
6
Not [3361] a novice [3504], lest [3363] being lifted up with pride [5187] [5685] he fall [1706] [5632] into [1519] the condemnation [2917] of the devil [1228].
7
Moreover [1161] [2532] he [0846] must [1163] [5748] have [2192] [5721] a good [2570] report [3141] of [0575] them which are without [1855]; lest [3363] he fall [1706] [5632] into [1519] reproach [3680] and [2532] the snare [3803] of the devil [1228].
8
Likewise [5615] [must] the deacons [1249] [be] grave [4586], not [3361] doubletongued [1351], not [3361] given [4337] [5723] to much [4183] wine [3631], not [3361] greedy of filthy lucre [0146];
9
Holding [2192] [5723] the mystery [3466] of the faith [4102] in [1722] a pure [2513] conscience [4893].
10
And [1161] let [1381] [0000] these [3778] also [2532] first [4412] be proved [1381] [5744]; then [1534] let them use the office of a deacon [1247] [5720], being [5607] [5752] [found] blameless [0410].
11
Even so [5615] [must their] wives [1135] [be] grave [4586], not [3361] slanderers [1228], sober [3524], faithful [4103] in [1722] all things [3956].
12
Let [2077] [0000] the deacons [1249] be [2077] [5749] the husbands [0435] of one [3391] wife [1135], ruling [4291] [5734] their children [5043] and [2532] their own [2398] houses [3624] well [2573].
13
For [1063] they that have used the office of a deacon [1247] [5660] well [2573] purchase [4046] [5731] to themselves [1438] a good [2570] degree [0898], and [2532] great [4183] boldness [3954] in [1722] the faith [4102] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
14
These things [5023] write I [1125] [5719] unto thee [4671], hoping [1679] [5723] to come [2064] [5629] unto [4314] thee [4571] shortly [5032]:
15
But [1161] if [1437] I tarry long [1019] [5725], that [2443] thou mayest know [1492] [5762] how [4459] thou oughtest [1163] [5748] to behave thyself [0390] [5745] in [1722] the house [3624] of God [2316], which [3748] is [2076] [5748] the church [1577] of the living [2198] [5723] God [2316], the pillar [4769] and [2532] ground [1477] of the truth [0225].
16
And [2532] without controversy [3672] great [3173] is [2076] [5748] the mystery [3466] of godliness [2150]: God [2316] was manifest [5319] [5681] in [1722] the flesh [4561], justified [1344] [5681] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], seen [3700] [5681] of angels [0032], preached [2784] [5681] unto [1722] the Gentiles [1484], believed on [4100] [5681] in [1722] the world [2889], received up [0353] [5681] into [1722] glory [1391].
