1 Timothy 3:4

3:4 He must manage his own household well and keep his children in control without losing his dignity. ¹ 

1 Timothy 3:12

3:12 Deacons must be husbands of one wife ²  and good managers of their children and their own households.

1 Timothy 3:5

3:5 But if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for the church of God?

1 Timothy 5:17

5:17 Elders who provide effective leadership ³  must be counted worthy ⁴  of double honor, ⁵  especially those who work hard in speaking ⁶  and teaching.

[3:4]  ¹ tn Grk “having children in submission with all dignity.” The last phrase, “keep his children in control without losing his dignity,” may refer to the children rather than the parent: “having children who are obedient and respectful.”

[3:12]  ² tn Or “men married only once,” “devoted solely to their wives” (see the note on “wife” in 1 Tim 3:2; also 1 Tim 5:9; Titus 1:6).

[5:17]  ³ tn Grk “who lead well.”

[5:17]  ⁴ tn Or “deserving.”

[5:17]  ⁵ tn Like the similar use of “honor” in v. 3, this phrase
denotes both respect and remuneration: “honor plus honorarium.”

[5:17]  ⁶ tn Or “in preaching”; Grk “in word.”
