1 Stedfast [is] the word: If any one the oversight doth long for, a right work he desireth; YLT — 1Timothy 3:1
2 it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach, YLT — 1Timothy 3:2
3 not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money, YLT — 1Timothy 3:3
4 his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity, YLT — 1Timothy 3:4
5 (and if any one his own house [how] to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?) YLT — 1Timothy 3:5
6 not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil; YLT — 1Timothy 3:6
7 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. YLT — 1Timothy 3:7
8 Ministrants — in like manner grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not given to filthy lucre, YLT — 1Timothy 3:8
9 having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience, YLT — 1Timothy 3:9
10 and let these also first be proved, then let them minister, being unblameable. YLT — 1Timothy 3:10
11 Women — in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things. YLT — 1Timothy 3:11
12 Ministrants — let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses, YLT — 1Timothy 3:12
13 for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that [is] in Christ Jesus. YLT — 1Timothy 3:13
14 These things I write to thee, hoping to come unto thee soon, YLT — 1Timothy 3:14
15 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, YLT — 1Timothy 3:15
16 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! YLT — 1Timothy 3:16
