1 Timothy 3 : 1 (YLT)

Stedfast *is the word: If any one the oversight doth long for, a right work he desireth;

1 Timothy 3 : 2 (YLT)

it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach,

1 Timothy 3 : 3 (YLT)

not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,

1 Timothy 3 : 4 (YLT)

his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity,

1 Timothy 3 : 5 (YLT)

(and if any one his own house *how to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)

1 Timothy 3 : 6 (YLT)

not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil;

1 Timothy 3 : 7 (YLT)

and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

1 Timothy 3 : 8 (YLT)

Ministrants -- in like manner grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not given to filthy lucre,

1 Timothy 3 : 9 (YLT)

having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience,

1 Timothy 3 : 10 (YLT)

and let these also first be proved, then let them minister, being unblameable.

1 Timothy 3 : 11 (YLT)

Women -- in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things.

1 Timothy 3 : 12 (YLT)

Ministrants -- let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses,

1 Timothy 3 : 13 (YLT)

for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that *is in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 3 : 14 (YLT)

These things I write to thee, hoping to come unto thee soon,

1 Timothy 3 : 15 (YLT)

and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth *thee to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God -- a pillar and foundation of the truth,

1 Timothy 3 : 16 (YLT)

and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!
