1 Timothy 3:2-13

2TheG3588 bishop thereforeG3767 must beG1510 without reproachG423, theG3588 husbandG435 ofG435 oneG1520 wifeG1135, temperateG3524, soberminded, orderly, given toG1163 hospitality, apt toG1163 teachG1317;

3noG3361 brawler, noG3361 striker; butG235 gentleG1933, notG3361 contentious, noG3361 lover ofG866 moneyG866;

4oneG3588 thatG3956 ruleth wellG2573 hisG3956 ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 hisG3956 childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravity;

5(butG1161 ifG1487 a manG5100 knoweth notG3756 howG4459 toG5100 rule hisG2398 ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shallG2316 heG1161 takeG1959 careG1959 ofG2316 theG3588 churchG1577 ofG2316 GodG2316?)

6notG3361 a novice, lestG3361 being puffed upG1519 he fallG1706 intoG1519 theG3588 condemnationG2917 ofG3588 theG3588 devilG1228.

7MoreoverG1161 heG2532 must have goodG2570 testimonyG3141 fromG575 themG2443 thatG2443 are withoutG3361; lestG3361 heG2532 fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 theG3588 snareG3803 ofG575 theG3588 devilG1228.

8DeaconsG1249 inG4183 like mannerG5615 must beG4183 grave, notG3361 doubletongued, notG3361 given toG4183 muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy ofG1249 filthy lucre;

9holdingG2192 theG3588 mysteryG3466 ofG1722 theG3588 faithG4102 inG1722 a pureG2513 conscienceG4893.

10AndG2532 letG1510 theseG3778 alsoG2532 firstG4413 beG1510 proved; thenG2532 letG1510 themG3778 serveG1247 asG2532 deaconsG1247, ifG2532 theyG2532 beG1510 blamelessG410.

11WomenG1135 inG1722 like mannerG5615 must beG3956 grave, notG3361 slanderersG1228, temperateG3524, faithfulG4103 inG1722 allG3956 thingsG3956.

12LetG1510 deaconsG1249 beG1510 husbandsG435 ofG3624 oneG1520 wifeG1135, ruling theirG2532 childrenG5043 andG2532 theirG2532 ownG2398 houses wellG2573.

13ForG1063 theyG2532 thatG1438 have servedG1247 wellG2573 asG1722 deaconsG1247 gainG4046 toG2532 themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 standingG898, andG2532 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 inG1722 theG3588 faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
