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 _ judgment of _ the devil .
7 And it _ is_ fitting him also , to _ be_ having a _ good _ testimony from the 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 .
12 Servants , let _ them _ be husbands of _ one wife , leading of _ ^their _ children well and of _ their own households .
13 For/Because the having _ served well are _ procuring a _ good _ standing for _ themselves , and great confidence in the _ faith which in chosen _ one/messiah Yaʸsous/(Yə hōshūˊa) .
14 I _ am_ writing these 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 .
