| [1]This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713[G5731] the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937[G5719] a goodG2570 workG2041. |
[1]Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος· εἴ τις ἐπισκοπῆς ὀρέγεται, καλοῦ ἔργου ἐπιθυμεῖ. |
| [2]A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163[G5748] beG1511[G5750] blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; |
[2]δεῖ οὖν τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνεπίληπτον εἶναι, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα, νηφάλιον, σώφρονα, κόσμιον, φιλόξενον, διδακτικόν, |
| [3]NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; |
[3]μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, μὴ αἰσχροκερδῆ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπιεικῆ, ἄμαχον, ἀφιλάργυρον, |
| [4]One that rulethG4291[G5734] wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192[G5723] his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587; |
[4]τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου καλῶς προϊστάμενον, τέκνα ἔχοντα ἐν ὑποταγῇ μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος· – |
| [5](ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492[G5758] to ruleG4291[G5629] his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959[G5695] the churchG1577 of GodG2316?) |
[5]εἰ δέ τις τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου προστῆναι οὐκ οἶδε, πῶς ἐκκλησίας Θεοῦ ἐπιμελήσεται; – |
| [6]NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187[G5685] he fallG1706[G5632] intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. |
[6]μὴ νεόφυτον, ἵνα μὴ τυφωθεὶς εἰς κρῖμα ἐμπέσῃ τοῦ διαβόλου. |
| [7]MoreoverG1161[G2532] heG846 mustG1163[G5748] haveG2192[G5721] a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706[G5632] intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228. |
[7]δεῖ δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ μαρτυρίαν καλὴν ἔχειν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔξωθεν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ καὶ παγίδα τοῦ διαβόλου. |
| [8]LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337[G5723] to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; |
[8]Διακόνους ὡσαύτως σεμνούς, μὴ διλόγους, μὴ οἴνῳ πολλῷ προσέχοντας, μὴ αἰσχροκερδεῖς, |
| [9]HoldingG2192[G5723] the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 inG1722 a pureG2513 conscienceG4893. |
[9]ἔχοντας τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει. |
| [10]AndG1161 letG1381 theseG3778 alsoG2532 firstG4412 be provedG1381[G5744]; thenG1534 let them use the office of a deaconG1247[G5720], beingG5607[G5752] found blamelessG410. |
[10]καὶ οὗτοι δὲ δοκιμαζέσθωσαν πρῶτον, εἶτα διακονείτωσαν ἀνέγκλητοι ὄντες. |
| [11]Even soG5615 must their wivesG1135 be graveG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, soberG3524, faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956. |
[11]γυναῖκας ὡσαύτως σεμνάς, μὴ διαβόλους, νηφαλίους, πιστὰς ἐν πᾶσι. |
| [12]LetG2077 the deaconsG1249 beG2077[G5749] the husbandsG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, rulingG4291[G5734] their childrenG5043 andG2532 their ownG2398 housesG3624 wellG2573. |
[12]διάκονοι ἔστωσαν μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρες, τέκνων καλῶς προϊστάμενοι καὶ τῶν ἰδίων οἴκων. |
| [13]ForG1063 they that have used the office of a deaconG1247[G5660] wellG2573 purchaseG4046[G5731] to themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 degreeG898, andG2532 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 inG1722 the faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. |
[13]οἱ γὰρ καλῶς διακονήσαντες βαθμὸν ἑαυτοῖς καλὸν περιποιοῦνται καὶ πολλὴν παρρησίαν ἐν πίστει τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ ᾿Ιησοῦ. |
| [14]These thingsG5023 write IG1125[G5719] unto theeG4671, hopingG1679[G5723] to comeG2064[G5629] untoG4314 theeG4571 shortlyG5032: |
[14]Ταῦτά σοι γράφω ἐλπίζων ἐλθεῖν πρός σε τάχιον· |
| [15]ButG1161 ifG1437 I tarry longG1019[G5725], thatG2443 thou mayest knowG1492[G5762] howG4459 thou oughtestG1163[G5748] to behave thyselfG390[G5745] inG1722 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, whichG3748 isG2076[G5748] the churchG1577 of the livingG2198[G5723] GodG2316, the pillarG4769 andG2532 groundG1477 of the truthG225. |
[15]ἐὰν δὲ βραδύνω, ἵνα εἰδῇς πῶς δεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ ἀναστρέφεσθαι, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἐκκλησία Θεοῦ ζῶντος, στῦλος καὶ ἑδραίωμα τῆς ἀληθείας. |
| [16]AndG2532 without controversyG3672 greatG3173 isG2076[G5748] the mysteryG3466 of godlinessG2150: GodG2316 was manifestG5319[G5681] inG1722 the fleshG4561, justifiedG1344[G5681] inG1722 the SpiritG4151, seenG3700[G5681] of angelsG32, preachedG2784[G5681] untoG1722 the GentilesG1484, believed onG4100[G5681] inG1722 the worldG2889, received upG353[G5681] intoG1722 gloryG1391. |
[16]καὶ ὁμολογουμένως μέγα ἐστὶ τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον· Θεὸς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί, ἐδικαιώθη ἐν Πνεύματι, ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις, ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ, ἀνελήφθη ἐν δόξῃ. |
