American Standard Version
1 Timothy 3:2-9
2The bishop thereforeG3767 must beG1510 without reproachG423, the husbandG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teachG1317;
3no brawler, no striker; but gentleG1933, not contentious, no lover of money;
4oneG3588 that ruleth wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, having his childrenG5043 in subjection with all gravity;
5(but if a man knoweth not howG4459 to rule his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take careG1959 of the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
6not a novice, lestG3361 being puffed up he fallG1706 into the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228.
7Moreover he must have goodG2570 testimonyG3141 from them that are without; lestG3361 he fallG1706 into reproachG3680 and the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
8DeaconsG1249 in like manner must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to muchG4183 wineG3631, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9holdingG2192 the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 in a pureG2513 conscienceG4893.
