| [1]A feithful word. If ony man desirith a bishopriche, he desirith a good werk. |
[1]This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713[G5731] the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937[G5719] a goodG2570 workG2041. |
| [2]Therfor it bihoueth a byschop to be with out repreef, the hosebonde of o wijf, sobre, prudent, chast, vertewous, holdinge hospitalite, a techere; |
[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; |

[3]NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; |
| [4]and haue sones suget with al chastite; |
[4]One that rulethG4291[G5734] wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192[G5723] his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587; |
| [5]for if ony man kan not gouerne his house, hou schal he haue diligence of the chirche of God? not new conuertid to the feith, |
[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?) |
| [6]lest he be borun vp in to pride, and falle in to doom of the deuel. |
[6]NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187[G5685] he fallG1706[G5632] intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. |
| [7]For it bihoueth hym to haue also good witnessing of hem that ben with outforth, that he falle not in to repreef, and in to the snare of the deuel. |
[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. |
| [8]Also it bihoueth dekenes to be chast, not double tungid, not youun myche to wyn, not suynge foul wynnyng; |
[8]LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337[G5723] to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; |

[9]HoldingG2192[G5723] the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 inG1722 a pureG2513 conscienceG4893. |
| [10]But be thei preued first, and mynystre so, hauynge no cryme. |
[10]AndG1161 letG1381 theseG3778 alsoG2532 firstG4412 be provedG1381[G5744]; thenG1534 let them use the office of a deaconG1247[G5720], beingG5607[G5752] found blamelessG410. |
| [11]Also it bihoueth wymmen to be chast, not bacbitinge, sobre, feithful in alle thingis. |
[11]Even soG5615 must their wivesG1135 be graveG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, soberG3524, faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956. |
| [12]Dekenes be hosebondis of o wijf; whiche gouerne wel her sones and her housis. |
[12]LetG2077 the deaconsG1249 beG2077[G5749] the husbandsG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, rulingG4291[G5734] their childrenG5043 andG2532 their ownG2398 housesG3624 wellG2573. |
| [13]For thei that mynystren wel, schulen gete a good degre to hem silf, and myche triste in the feith, that is in Crist Jhesu. |
[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. |
| [14]Sone Timothe, Y write to thee these thingis, hopinge that Y schal come soon to thee; |
[14]These thingsG5023 write IG1125[G5719] unto theeG4671, hopingG1679[G5723] to comeG2064[G5629] untoG4314 theeG4571 shortlyG5032: |
| [15]but if Y tarie, that thou wite, hou it bihoueth thee to lyue in the hous of God, that is the chirche of lyuynge God, a pilere and sadnesse of treuthe. |
[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. |
| [16]And opynli it is a greet sacrament of pitee, that thing that was schewid in fleisch, it is iustified in spirit, it apperid to aungels, it is prechid to hethene men, it is bileuyd in the world, it is takun vp in glorie. |
[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. |
