1 Timothy 3:6-11
6and not a newG3504 convertG3504, soG2443 thatG2443 he will not become 1conceitedG5187 and fallG1706 into 2condemnationG2917 3incurred by the devilG1228. 7And he mustG1163 4haveG2192 a goodG2570 reputationG3141 with 5thoseG3588 outsideG1855 the church, soG2443 thatG2443 he will not fallG1706 into 6disgraceG3680 and 7the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
88DeaconsG1249 likewiseG5615 must be menG4586 ofG4586 dignityG4586, not 9insincereG1351, 10not proneG4337 toG4337 drink muchG4183 wineG3631, 11not greedyG146 forG146 moneyG146, 912but holdingG2192 to the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 with a clearG2513 conscienceG4893. 1013TheseG3778 menG3778 must alsoG2532 firstG4413 be testedG1381; thenG1534 have them serveG1247 asG1247 deaconsG1247 if they are beyondG410 reproachG410. 1114WomenG1135 must likewiseG5615 be dignifiedG4586, 15not maliciousG1228 gossipsG1228, but 1617temperateG3524, faithfulG4103 in allG3956 thingsG3956.
