1 Timothy 3:9 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 This is a trustworthy saying: "If someone aspires to be an elder, he desires an honorable position."
2 So an elder must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach.
3 He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money.
4 He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him.
5 For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God's church?
6 An elder must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.
7 Also, people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the devil's trap.
8 In the same way, deacons must be well respected and have integrity. They must not be heavy drinkers or dishonest with money.
9 They must be committed to the mystery of the faith now revealed and must live with a clear conscience.
10 Before they are appointed as deacons, let them be closely examined. If they pass the test, then let them serve as deacons.
11 In the same way, their wives must be respected and must not slander others. They must exercise self-control and be faithful in everything they do.
12 A deacon must be faithful to his wife, and he must manage his children and household well.
13 Those who do well as deacons will be rewarded with respect from others and will have increased confidence in their faith in Christ Jesus.
14 I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon,
15 so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
16 Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory.
1 This is a true G4103 saying, G3056 If a man G1536 desire G3713 the office of a bishop, G1984 he desireth G1937 a good G2570 work. G2041
2 A bishop G1985 then G3767 must G1163 be G1511 blameless, G423 the husband G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 vigilant, G3524 sober, G4998 of good behavior, G2887 given to hospitality, G5382 apt to teach; G1317
3 Not G3361 given to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not G3361 greedy of filthy lucre; G146 but G235 patient, G1933 not a brawler, G269 not covetous; G866
4 One that ruleth G4291 well G2573 his own G2398 house, G3624 having G2192 his children G5043 in G1722 subjection G5292 with G3326 all G3956 gravity; G4587
5 ( For G1161 if G1487 a man G5100 know G1492 not G3756 how to rule G4291 his own G2398 house, G3624 how G4459 shall he take care of G1959 the church G1577 of God G2316 ?)
6 Not G3361 a novice, G3504 lest G3363 being lifted up with pride G5187 he fall G1706 into G1519 the condemnation G2917 of the G3588 devil. G1228
7 Moreover G1161 he G846 must G1163 G2532 have G2192 a good G2570 report G3141 of G575 them which are without; G1855 lest G3363 he fall G1706 into G1519 reproach G3680 and G2532 the snare G3803 of the G3588 devil. G1228
8 Likewise G5615 must the deacons G1249 be grave, G4586 not G3361 doubletongued, G1351 not G3361 given G4337 to much G4183 wine, G3631 not G3361 greedy of filthy lucre; G146
9 Holding G2192 the G3588 mystery G3466 of the G3588 faith G4102 in G1722 a pure G2513 conscience. G4893
10 And G2532 let these G3778 also G1161 first G4412 be proved; G1381 then G1534 let them use the office of a deacon, G1247 being G5607 found blameless. G410
11 Even so G5615 must their wives G1135 be grave, G4586 not G3361 slanderers, G1228 sober, G3524 faithful G4103 in G1722 all things. G3956
12 Let the deacons G1249 be G2077 the husbands G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 ruling G4291 their children G5043 and G2532 their own G2398 houses G3624 well. G2573
13 For G1063 they that have used the office of a deacon G1247 well G2573 purchase G4046 to themselves G1438 a good G2570 degree, G898 and G2532 great G4183 boldness G3954 in G1722 the faith G4102 which G3588 is in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424
14 These things G5023 write G1125 I unto thee, G4671 hoping G1679 to come G2064 unto G4314 thee G4571 shortly: G5032
15 But G1161 if G1437 I tarry long, G1019 that G2443 thou mayest know G1492 how G4459 thou oughtest G1163 to behave thyself G390 in G1722 the house G3624 of God, G2316 which G3748 is G2076 the church G1577 of the living G2198 God, G2316 the pillar G4769 and G2532 ground G1477 of the G3588 truth. G225
16 And G2532 without controversy G3672 great G3173 is G2076 the G3588 mystery G3466 of godliness: G2150 God G2316 was manifest G5319 in G1722 the flesh, G4561 justified G1344 in G1722 the Spirit, G4151 seen G3700 of angels, G32 preached G2784 unto G1722 the Gentiles, G1484 believed on G4100 in G1722 the world, G2889 received up G353 into G1722 glory. G1391
