This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

3 The saying is trustworthy:
If anyone is _aspiring to _overseeing, he _is _desiring of_a_good work.

2 Therefore it _is _fitting the overseer to _be irreproachable, the_husband of _one wife, sober, sensible, respectable, hospitable, teaching,

3 not winebibbing, nor a_bully, but gentle, peaceable, ungreedy,

4 leading of _his own house well, having children in submission, with all dignity

5 (but if someone has_ not _known to _lead of _his own house, how ˓will˒_he _be _taking _care of_the_assembly of_god?
)

6 Not a_neophyte, in _order _that not having _been _conceited, he _may _fall _in into the_judgement of _the devil.

7 And it _is _fitting him also, to _be _having a_ good _testimony from the ones outside, in _order _that he _may_ not _fall _in into derision and the_snare of _the devil.

8 Servants likewise should _be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to_ much _wine, not greedy,

9 holding the mystery of _the faith in a_ clean _conscience.

10 And also let_ these _be _being _approved first, thereafter let _them _be _serving, being unindictable.

11 ˓Their˒_wives likewise should _be dignified, not diabolical, sober, faithful in all things.

12 Servants, let_ them _be husbands of _one wife, leading of_their_children well and of _their own households.

13 For/Because the ones having _served well are _procuring a_ good _standing for _themselves, and great confidence in the_faith which in chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa).

14 I _am _writing these things to _you, hoping to _come to you in quickness,

15 but if I _may _be _slowing, in _order _that you _may _have _known how it _is _fitting to _be _being _conducted in the_household of_god, which is the_assembly of_god the_living, the_pillar and foundation of _the truth.

16 And confessedly great is the of_ the _devoutness mystery:
Who was _revealed in the_flesh, was _justified in the_spirit, was _seen by _messengers, was _proclaimed among the_nations, was _believed in the_world, was _taken _up in glory.
