1 Timothy 3 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Overseers and Deacons

1Ti 3:1Stedfast is the word: If any one the oversight doth long for, a right work he desireth;

1Ti 3:2it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach,

1Ti 3:3

1Ti 3:3not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,

1Ti 3:4

1Ti 3:4his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity,

1Ti 3:5

1Ti 3:5(and if any one his own house how to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)

1Ti 3:6

1Ti 3:6not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil;

1Ti 3:7

1Ti 3:7and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

1Ti 3:8

1Ti 3:8Ministrants -- in like manner grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not given to filthy lucre,

1Ti 3:9

1Ti 3:9having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience,

1Ti 3:10

1Ti 3:10and let these also first be proved, then let them minister, being unblameable.

1Ti 3:11

1Ti 3:11Women -- in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things.

1Ti 3:12

1Ti 3:12Ministrants -- let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses,

1Ti 3:13

1Ti 3:13for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that is in Christ Jesus.

1Ti 3:14

1Ti 3:14These things I write to thee, hoping to come unto thee soon,

1Ti 3:15

1Ti 3:15and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth thee to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God -- a pillar and foundation of the truth,

1Ti 3:16

1Ti 3:16and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!
