1 Timothy Chapter 3
3:1Faithful (is) the saying: “if anyone aspires-to (the) work-of-an-overseer/bishop, he-desires (a) good work.” 2 So it-is-necessary for the/a bishop/overseer to-be above-reproach, husband of-one wife, temperate, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able-to-teach, 3 not-addicted-to-wine, not pugnacious, but gentle, not contentious, not-greedy-for-money, 4 managing [the] his household well, having children in obedience with all good-character— 5 now if anyone does┘not└know-how to manage [the] his own household, how will-he-take-care-of (the) church of-God?— 6 not (a) new-convert lest2, being-conceited/proud, he-should fall into (the) condemnation of-the devil. 7 And it-is-necessary also (for him) to-have (a) good reputation from the-ones outside in-order-that he┘not└fall into (the) disgrace and trap/snare of-the devil.
8 Likewise (it is necessary for) deacons (to be) of-good-character, not deceitful, not addicted to-a-lot-of wine, not greedy-for-dishonest-gain, 9 having the mystery of-the faith in (a) clear conscience. 10 And let┘these also first└be-examined; then let-them-serve-as-deacons, being blameless.
11 Likewise (it is necessary for their) wives (to be) of-good-character, not given-to-malicious-gossip, temperate, faithful in all-things. 12 Let┘deacons└be husbands of-one wife, managing (their) children well and those of-their households. 13 For the-ones having-served┘well└as-deacons obtain (a) good standing for-themselves and much boldness in (the) faith [the] in Christ Jesus.
14 I-am-writing these-things to-you, hoping to-come to you in speed. 15 But if I-delay, in-order-that you-may-know-how it-is-necessary to-behave in (the) house of-God, which is (the) church of-(the)-living God, (a) pillar and foundation of-the/of-[the] truth. 16 And without-denial great is the mystery of-[the] godliness.
“Who was-revealed in (the) flesh,
Was-justified in (the) spirit,
Was-seen by-angels,
Was-preached among (the) nations,
Was-believed-on in (the) world,
Was-taken-up in glory.
