1Ti 3:1 Faithful is the Word: If anyone reaches out to overseership, he desires a good work.
\n1Ti 3:2 Then it behooves the overseer to be blameless, husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, well-ordered, hospitable, apt at teaching;
\n1Ti 3:3 not a drunkard, not a contentious one, not money-loving, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not avaricious;
\n1Ti 3:4 ruling his own house well, having children in subjection with all respect.
\n1Ti 3:5 But if anyone does not know how to rule his own house, how will he care for an assembly of God?
\n1Ti 3:6 He should not be a novice, lest being puffed up he may fall into the devil’s judgment.
\n1Ti 3:7 But he must also have a good witness from those outside, that he not fall into reproach and into a snare of the devil.
\n1Ti 3:8 Likewise, deacons are to be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy of ill gain,
\n1Ti 3:9 having the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
\n1Ti 3:10 And also let these be tested first, then let them serve, being without reproach.
\n1Ti 3:11 Likewise, their wives are to be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
\n1Ti 3:12 Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their own houses and children well.
\n1Ti 3:13 For those having served well gain a good grade for themselves and much boldness in faith, those in Christ Jesus.
\n1Ti 3:14 I write these things to you, hoping to come to you shortly.
\n1Ti 3:15 But if I delay, that you may know how to behave in the house of God, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
\n1Ti 3:16 And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in flesh, was justified in Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
