[[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-2|2]] A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-3|3]] Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-4|4]] One that rules well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-5|5]] (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-6|6]] Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-7|7]] Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-8|8]] Likewise [(//must//)] the deacons [(//be//)] grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-9|9]] Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-10|10]] And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being [(//found//)] blameless. [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-11|11]] Even so [(//must their//)] wives [(//be//)] grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-12|12]] Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-13|13]] For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-14|14]] These things write I to you, hoping to come to you shortly: [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-15|15]] But if I tarry long, that you mayest know how you ought to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. [[new testament:interlinear:1Timothy3-16|16]] And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. ---- [[http://christopedia.eu|{{:new_testament:matthew:matthew:chapters:home-icon.png?15|home}}]] Chapters: [[new testament:1timothy:1timothy:chapters:chapter1|1]] [[new testament:1timothy:1timothy:chapters:chapter2|2]] [[new testament:1timothy:1timothy:chapters:chapter3|3]] [[new testament:1timothy:1timothy:chapters:chapter4|4]] [[new testament:1timothy:1timothy:chapters:chapter5|5]] [[new testament:1timothy:1timothy:chapters:chapter6|6]] {{like>}}
