1 Timoteo 3

1Faithful^G4103 is the^G3588 saying^G3056, If^G1487 a man^G5100 seeketh^G3713 the office of a bishop^G1984, he desireth^G1937 a good^G2570 work^G2041. 2The bishop^G1985 therefore^G3767 must^G1163 be^G1511 without reproach^G423, the husband^G435 of one^G1520 wife^G1135, temperate^G3524, sober-minded^G4998, orderly^G2887, given to hospitality^G5382, apt to teach^G1317; 3no^G3361 brawler^G269, no^G3361 striker^G4131; but^G235 gentle^G1933, not contentious^G269, no lover^G866 of money^G146; 4one that ruleth^G4291 well^G2573 his own^G2398 house^G3624, having^G2192 his children^G5043 in^G1722 subjection^G5292 with^G3326 all^G3956 gravity^G4587; 5(but^G1161 if^G1487 a man^G5100 knoweth^G1492 not^G3756 how^G1492 to rule^G4291 his own^G2398 house^G3624, how^G4459 shall he take care^G1959 of the church^G1577 of God^G2316?) 6not^G3361 a novice^G3504, lest^G3361 being puffed^G5187 up he fall^G1706 into^G1519 the condemnation^G2917 of the devil^G1228. 7Moreover^G1161 he^G846 must^G1163 have^G2192 good^G2570 testimony^G3141 from^G575 them that are without^G1855; lest^G3361 he fall^G1706 into^G1519 reproach^G3680 and^G2532 the snare^G3803 of the devil^G1228. 8Deacons^G1249 in like^G5615 manner must be grave^G4586, not^G3361 double-tongued^G1351, not^G3361 given to^G4337 much^G4183 wine^G3631, not^G3361 greedy of filthy lucre^G146; 9holding^G2192 the mystery^G3466 of the faith^G4102 in^G1722 a pure^G2513 conscience^G4893. 10And^G1161 let^G1381 these^G3778 also^G2532 first^G4412 be proved^G1381; then^G1534 let them serve as deacons^G1247, if they be^G5607 blameless^G410. 11Women^G1135 in like manner^G5615 must be grave^G4586, not^G3361 slanderers^G1228, temperate^G3524, faithful^G4103 in^G1722 all things^G3956. 12Let^G2077 deacons^G1249 be^G2077 husbands^G435 of one^G1520 wife^G1135, ruling^G4291 their children^G5043 and^G2532 their own^G2398 houses^G3624 well^G2573. 13For^G1063 they that have served well^G2573 as deacons^G1247 gain^G4046 to themselves^G1438 a good^G2570 standing^G898, and^G2532 great^G4183 boldness^G3954 in^G1722 the faith^G4102 which is^G3588 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424. 14These things^G5023 write I^G1125 unto thee^G4671, hoping^G1679 to come^G2064 unto^G4314 thee^G4571 shortly^G5032; 15but^G1161 if^G1437 I tarry long^G1019, that^G2443 thou mayest know^G1492 how^G4459 men ought^G1163 to behave themselves^G390 in^G1722 the house^G3624 of God^G2316, which^G3748 is^G2076 the church^G1577 of the living^G2198 God^G2316, the pillar^G4769 and^G2532 ground^G1477 of the truth^G225. 16And^G2532 without controversy^G3672 great^G3173 is^G2076 the mystery^G3466 of godliness^G2150; He^G2316 who was manifested^G5319 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561, Justified^G1344 in^G1722 the spirit^G4151, Seen^G3700 of angels^G32, Preached^G2784 among^G1722 the nations^G1484, Believed on^G4100 in^G1722 the world^G2889, Received up^G353 in^G1722 glory^G1391.
