1|Tim.|3:1|-||a|Faithful is the word: If anyone |1|aspires to the |2|overseership, he desires a good work.
1|Tim.|3:2|-||a|The |1b|overseer then must be |2|without reproach, the |3|husband of |c|one wife, |4d|temperate, |5|of a |e|sober mind, |6|orderly, |7f|hospitable, |8|apt to |g|teach;
1|Tim.|3:3|-||1|Not an |a|excessive drinker; |2|not a striker, but |3b|gentle; |4c|not contentious; |5|not |d|fond of money;
1|Tim.|3:4|-|One who |1a|manages well his own house, having his children in subjection with all |2b|gravity
1|Tim.|3:5|-|(But if one does not know how to manage his own house, how will he care for the |a|church of God?);
1|Tim.|3:6|-|Not a |1|new convert, lest being |2a|blinded with pride he fall into the |3|judgment suffered by the devil.
1|Tim.|3:7|-|And he also must have a |1a|good testimony from |2|those outside, that he may not fall into reproach and the |3b|snare of the |4|devil.
1|Tim.|3:8|-||1a|Deacons must similarly be grave, |2|not double-tongued, |3|not |b|addicted to much wine, |4|not |c|greedy for base gain;
1|Tim.|3:9|-||a|Holding the |1b|mystery of the |c|faith in a |2d|pure conscience.
1|Tim.|3:10|-|And these also must first |1|be |a|proved; then let them |2|minister if they are |3b|unreprovable.
1|Tim.|3:11|-||1|Women similarly must be grave, |2|not |a|slanderers, |3b|temperate, |4|faithful in all things.
1|Tim.|3:12|-|Deacons must be |1|husbands of |a|one wife, |2b|managing their children and their own houses well.
1|Tim.|3:13|-|For those who have |1|ministered well obtain for themselves a |2|good standing and |3|much boldness in |a|faith, which is in Christ Jesus.
1|Tim.|3:14|-|These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly.
1|Tim.|3:15|-|But if I delay, I write that you may know |1|how one ought to conduct himself in the |2a|house of God, which is the |b|church of the |3c|living God, the |4d|pillar and base of the |5e|truth.
1|Tim.|3:16|-|And |1|confessedly, great is the |2a|mystery of |b|godliness:|3|He who was |4c|manifested in the |d|flesh,
|5|Justified in the Spirit,|6|Seen by angels,
|7|Preached among the nations,|8|Believed on in the world,
|9|Taken up in glory.
