CHAP. III.
1 How bishops, and deacons, and their wives
should be qualified; 14 and to what end
Saint Paul wrote to Timothy of these things.
15 Of the church, and the blessed truth therein
taught and professed.
1 This is a true saying, If a man desireth
the office of a bishop, he desireth
a good work.
2 noteA bishop then must be blameless,
the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober,
note of good behavior, given to hospitality,
apt to teach;
3 noteNot given to wine, no striker, not
greedy of filthy lucre, but patient; not a
brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house,
having his children in subjection with
all gravity;
5 (For if a man knoweth not how to
rule his own house, how shall he take
care of the church of God?)
6 Not note a novice, lest being lifted up
with pride he fall into the condemnation
of the devil.
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 Likewise must the deacons be grave,
not double-tongued, not given to much
wine, not greedy of filthy lucre,
9 Holding the mystery of the faith in
a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be proved;
then let them use the office of a deacon,
being found blameless.
11 Even so note 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 For they that have note 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 things I write to thee, hoping
to come to thee shortly:
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
note ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy, great is
the mystery of godliness: God was manifest
in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into
glory.
