1 Timothy 3

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>_.
