1 Timothy 3

1The wordG3056 [is] faithfulG4103: if any oneG5100 aspires to exercise oversight, he desiresG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041. 2The overseerG1985 thenG3767 must beG1510 irreproachable, husbandG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, sober, discreet, decorous, hospitableG5382, apt to teachG1317; 3not given to excesses from wineG3943, not a striker, but mild, not addicted to contention, not fond of money, 4conducting his ownG2398 houseG3624 wellG2573, having [his] childrenG5043 in subjection with all gravity; 5(but if oneG5100 does not know howG4459 to conduct his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take careG1959 of the assemblyG1577 of 1GodG2316?) 6not a novice, that he may not, being inflated, fallG1706 into [the] fault of the devilG1228. 7But it is necessaryG1163 that he should have alsoG2532 a goodG2570 testimonyG3141 from those without, that he may fallG1706 not into reproachG3680 and [the] snareG3803 of the devilG1228. 8Ministers, in like manner, grave, not double-tongued, not given to muchG4183 wineG3631, not seeking gainG146 by base means, 9holdingG2192 the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 in a pureG2513 conscienceG4893. 10And let these beG1510 firstG4413 proved, then let them ministerG1247, beingG1510 without charge [against them]. 11[The] womenG1135 in like manner grave, not slanderersG1228, sober, faithfulG4103 in all thingsG3956. 12Let [the] ministers beG1510 husbandsG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, conducting [their] childrenG5043 and their ownG2398 houses wellG2573: 13for those who shall have ministeredG1247 wellG2573 obtain for themselves a goodG2570 degree, and muchG4183 boldnessG3954 in faithG4102 which [is] in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 14These thingsG3778 I writeG1125 to thee, hopingG1679 to comeG2064 to thee more quickly; 15but if I delay, in orderG2443 that thou mayest know howG4459 oneG3588 oughtG1163 to conductG390 oneself in 2God's houseG3624, which isG1510 [the] assemblyG1577 of [the] livingG2198 3GodG2316, [the] pillarG4769 and base of the truthG225. 16And confessedly the mysteryG3466 of piety isG1510 greatG3173. 4God has beenG1510 manifestedG5319 in fleshG4561, has beenG1510 justifiedG1344 in [the] SpiritG4151, has appeared to angelsG32, has beenG1510 preachedG2784 among [the] nationsG1484, has beenG1510 believedG4100 on in [the] worldG2889, has beenG1510 received up in gloryG1391.
