Qualifications for Overseers
1The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.
2Therefore an overseer3:2 Or bishop; Greek episkopos; a similar term occurs in verse 1 must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,3:2 Or a man of one woman; also verse 12 sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
4He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive,
5for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church?
6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
Qualifications for Deacons
8Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued,3:8 Or devious in speech not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain.
9They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
10And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless.
11Their wives likewise3:11 Or Wives likewise, or Women likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things.
12Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.
13For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
The Mystery of Godliness
14I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that,
15if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.
16Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He3:16 Greek Who; some manuscripts God; others Which was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated3:16 Or justified by the Spirit,3:16 Or vindicated in spirit
seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory.
