WMBB (Same as above)
MSG (1-7)If anyone wants to provide leadership in the church, good! But there are preconditions: A leader must be well-thought-of, committed to his wife, cool and collected, accessible, and hospitable. He must know what he’s talking about, not be overfond of wine, not pushy but gentle, not thin-skinned, not money-hungry. 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.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
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.
προϊστάμενον
leading
Alternate translations: “managing” or “taking care of”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν ὑποταγῇ, μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος
in submission with all dignity
Here, the phrase with all dignity could describe: (1) another characteristic of the children. Alternate translation: [in submission, children with all dignity] (2) another way the children treat their parent, the overseer. Alternate translation: [in submission who treat him with dignity] (3) how the overseer should treat his children. Alternate translation: [in submission as he treats them with all dignity]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν ὑποταγῇ, μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος
in submission with all dignity
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of submission and dignity, you could express the same ideas in another way. Make sure that your translation fits with the option you chose in the previous note. Alternate translation: [who submit and are very dignified]
