ULT 1TIM Chapter 3

1TIM 3 ©

3This word is trustworthy: “If someone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble work.” 2Therefore, the overseer must be irreproachable, a husband of one wife, sober, self-controlled, orderly, hospitable, able to teach, 3not a drunkard, not a brawler, but gentle, peaceful, not money-loving, 4managing his own household well, having children in obedience with all honor 5(for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?), 6not a new convert, so that he may not fall, being puffed up, into the judgment of the devil. 7But he must also have a good reputation with the ones outside, so that he may not fall into disgrace and a trap of the devil. 8Likewise deacons must be dignified, not double-talkers, not indulging in much wine, not greedy, 9holding the mystery of the faith with a clean conscience. 10And let them also be tested first; then let them serve, being blameless. 11Likewise women must be dignified, not slanderers, sober, trustworthy in everything. 12Deacons are to be husbands of one wife, managing their own children and households well. 13For the ones having served well acquire for themselves a good standing and much confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

14I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you in quickness, 15but if I delay, so that you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and support of the truth. 16Indeed, admittedly great is the mystery of godliness:

“Who was revealed in flesh,

was justified in the Spirit,

was seen by angels,

was proclaimed among the nations,

was believed in the world,

was taken up in glory.”
