He must handle his own affairs well, attentive to his own children and having their respect. For if someone is unable to handle his own affairs, how can he take care of God’s church? He must not be a new believer, lest the position go to his head and the Devil trip him up. Outsiders must think well of him, or else the Devil will figure out a way to lure him into his trap.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:1-13 The topic shifts to church leadership by elders (3:1-7) and deacons (3:8-13). Timothy’s role in the appointments is less clear than that of Titus (see 5:17-22; Titus 1:5), possibly because the church in Ephesus was more mature and thus better able to manage the process (cp. Acts 6:2-6). The criteria listed here pertain to character rather than function and are partly a response to the local heretics. Reading this letter in the churches would make the criteria public and demonstrate the unfitness of the heretics for leadership.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

μὴ πάροινον

not winebibbing

Alternate translation: “not one who drinks much wine”

μὴ πλήκτην

not nor /a/_bully

Alternate translation: “not one who is violent” or “not one who likes to fight”

Note 1 topic: translate-textvariants

μὴ πλήκτην

not nor /a/_bully

Many ancient manuscripts read not a brawler. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “not a brawler, not greedy.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

ἀφιλάργυρον

ungreedy

Alternate translation: “not greedy for money”
