[4]One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; |
| [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](For if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) |
| [6]NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187[G5685] he fallG1706[G5632] intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. |

[7]Moreover, he must have a good report of them who are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. |
| [8]LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337[G5723] to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; |

| [10]AndG1161 letG1381 theseG3778 alsoG2532 firstG4412 be provedG1381[G5744]; thenG1534 let them use the office of a deaconG1247[G5720], beingG5607[G5752] found blamelessG410. |
[10]And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. |
| [11]Even soG5615 must their wivesG1135 be graveG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, soberG3524, faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956. |
[11]Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. |

[12]Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children, and their own houses well. |
| [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]For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus. |
| [14]These thingsG5023 write IG1125[G5719] unto theeG4671, hopingG1679[G5723] to comeG2064[G5629] untoG4314 theeG4571 shortlyG5032: |
[14]These things I write to thee, hoping to come to thee shortly: |
| [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]But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. |
| [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. |
