| 3:1 | This [is] a true <4103> saying <3056>, If a man <1536> desire <3713> (5731) the office of a bishop <1984>, he desireth <1937> (5719) a good <2570> work <2041>. |
| 3:2 | A bishop <1985> then <3767> must <1163> (5748) be <1511> (5750) blameless <423>, the husband <435> of one <3391> wife <1135>, vigilant <3524>, sober <4998>, of good behaviour <2887>, given to hospitality <5382>, apt to teach <1317>; {of good...: or, modest} |
| 3:3 | Not <3361> given to wine <3943>, no <3361> striker <4131>, not <3361> greedy of filthy lucre <146>; but <235> patient <1933>, not a brawler <269>, not covetous <866>; {given...: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine} |
| 3:4 | One that ruleth <4291> (5734) well <2573> his own <2398> house <3624>, having <2192> (5723) his children <5043> in <1722> subjection <5292> with <3326> all <3956> gravity <4587>; |
| 3:5 | (For <1161> if a man <1536> know <1492> (0) not <3756> how <1492> (5758) to rule <4291> (5629) his own <2398> house <3624>, how <4459> shall he take care of <1959> (5695) the church <1577> of God <2316>?) |
| 3:6 | Not <3361> a novice <3504>, lest <3363> being lifted up with pride <5187> (5685) he fall <1706> (5632) into <1519> the condemnation <2917> of the devil <1228>. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith} |
| 3:7 | Moreover <1161> <2532> he <846> must <1163> (5748) have <2192> (5721) a good <2570> report <3141> of <575> them which are without <1855>; lest <3363> he fall <1706> (5632) into <1519> reproach <3680> and <2532> the snare <3803> of the devil <1228>. |
| 3:8 | Likewise <5615> [must] the deacons <1249> [be] grave <4586>, not <3361> doubletongued <1351>, not <3361> given <4337> (5723) to much <4183> wine <3631>, not <3361> greedy of filthy lucre <146>; |
| 3:9 | Holding <2192> (5723) the mystery <3466> of the faith <4102> in <1722> a pure <2513> conscience <4893>. |
| 3:10 | And <1161> let <1381> (0) these <3778> also <2532> first <4412> be proved <1381> (5744); then <1534> let them use the office of a deacon <1247> (5720), being <5607> (5752) [found] blameless <410>. |
| 3:11 | Even so <5615> [must their] wives <1135> [be] grave <4586>, not <3361> slanderers <1228>, sober <3524>, faithful <4103> in <1722> all things <3956>. |
| 3:12 | Let <2077> (0) the deacons <1249> be <2077> (5749) the husbands <435> of one <3391> wife <1135>, ruling <4291> (5734) their children <5043> and <2532> their own <2398> houses <3624> well <2573>. |
| 3:13 | For <1063> they that have used the office of a deacon <1247> (5660) well <2573> purchase <4046> (5731) to themselves <1438> a good <2570> degree <898>, and <2532> great <4183> boldness <3954> in <1722> the faith <4102> which <3588> is in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. {used...: or, ministered} |
| 3:14 | These things <5023> write I <1125> (5719) unto thee <4671>, hoping <1679> (5723) to come <2064> (5629) unto <4314> thee <4571> shortly <5032>: |
| 3:15 | But <1161> if <1437> I tarry long <1019> (5725), that <2443> thou mayest know <1492> (5762) how <4459> thou oughtest <1163> (5748) to behave thyself <390> (5745) in <1722> the house <3624> of God <2316>, which <3748> is <2076> (5748) the church <1577> of the living <2198> (5723) God <2316>, the pillar <4769> and <2532> ground <1477> of the truth <225>. {ground: or, stay} |
| 3:16 | And <2532> without controversy <3672> great <3173> is <2076> (5748) the mystery <3466> of godliness <2150>: God <2316> was manifest <5319> (5681) in <1722> the flesh <4561>, justified <1344> (5681) in <1722> the Spirit <4151>, seen <3700> (5681) of angels <32>, preached <2784> (5681) unto <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, believed on <4100> (5681) in <1722> the world <2889>, received up <353> (5681) into <1722> glory <1391>. |
