1 Timothy 3:2-13

2AnG3588 overseerG1985, thenG3767, mustG1163 beG1510 above reproachG423, the husbandG435 of but oneG1520 wifeG1135,1 temperateG3524, self-controlledG4998, respectableG2887, hospitableG5382, able to teachG1317, 3notG3361 dependent on wineG3943, notG3361 violentG4131 butG235 gentleG1933, peaceableG269, and free of the love of moneyG866.

4An overseer must manageG4291 his ownG2398 householdG3624 wellG2573 and keepG2192 his childrenG5043 underG1722 controlG5292, withG3326 completeG3956 dignityG4587. 5For ifG1487 someoneG5100 does notG3756 knowG1492 howG4459 to manageG4291 his ownG2398 householdG3624, how can he care forG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316? 6He must notG3361 be a recent convertG3504, or he may become conceitedG2443G3361G5187 and fallG1706 underG1519 the same condemnationG2917 as theG3588 devilG1228. 7FurthermoreG1161G2532, he mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reputationG3141 withG575 outsidersG3588G1855, so thatG2443 he will not fallG3361G1706 intoG1519 disgraceG3680 andG2532 into the snareG3803 of theG3588 devilG1228.

8DeaconsG1249 likewiseG5615 must be dignifiedG4586, notG3361 double-tonguedG1351 or givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631 or greedy for moneyG146. 9They must holdG2192 to theG3588 mysteryG3466 of theG3588 faithG4102 withG1722 a clearG2513 conscienceG4893. 10AdditionallyG2532G1161, theyG3778 must first be testedG1381G4412. ThenG1534, if they areG1510 above reproachG410, let them serve as deaconsG1247.

11In the same wayG5615, the womenG11352 must be dignifiedG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, but temperateG3524 and faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956.

12A deaconG1249 must beG1510 the husbandG435 of but oneG1520 wifeG1135, a goodG2573 managerG4291 of his childrenG5043 andG2532 of his ownG2398 householdG3624. 13ForG1063 those whoG3588 have servedG1247 wellG2573 as deacons acquireG4046 for themselvesG1438 a highG2570 standingG898 andG2532 greatG4183 confidenceG3954 inG1722 the faithG4102 thatG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
