Read Bible Book Of 1 Timothy Chapter 3 In Online
1 - Here Is A Trustworthy Saying: If Anyone Sets His Heart On Being An Overseer, He Desires A Noble Task.
2 - Now The Overseer Must Be Above Reproach, The Husband Of But One Wife, Temperate, Self-controlled, Respectable, Hospitable, Able To Teach,
3 - Not Given To Drunkenness, Not Violent But Gentle, Not Quarrelsome, Not A Lover Of Money.
4 - He Must Manage His Own Family Well And See That His Children Obey Him With Proper Respect.
5 - (If Anyone Does Not Know How To Manage His Own Family, How Can He Take Care Of God's Church?)
6 - He Must Not Be A Recent Convert, Or He May Become Conceited And Fall Under The Same Judgment As The Devil.
7 - He Must Also Have A Good Reputation With Outsiders, So That He Will Not Fall Into Disgrace And Into The Devil's Trap.
8 - Deacons, Likewise, Are To Be Men Worthy Of Respect, Sincere, Not Indulging In Much Wine, And Not Pursuing Dishonest Gain.
9 - They Must Keep Hold Of The Deep Truths Of The Faith With A Clear Conscience.
10 - They Must First Be Tested; And Then If There Is Nothing Against Them, Let Them Serve As Deacons.
11 - In The Same Way, Their Wives Are To Be Women Worthy Of Respect, Not Malicious Talkers But Temperate And Trustworthy In Everything.
12 - A Deacon Must Be The Husband Of But One Wife And Must Manage His Children And His Household Well.
13 - Those Who Have Served Well Gain An Excellent Standing And Great Assurance In Their Faith In Christ Jesus.
14 - Although I Hope To Come To You Soon, I Am Writing You These Instructions So That,
15 - If I Am Delayed, You Will Know How People Ought To Conduct Themselves In God's Household, Which Is The Church Of The Living God, The Pillar And Foundation Of The Truth.
16 - Beyond All Question, The Mystery Of Godliness Is Great: He Appeared In A Body, Was Vindicated By The Spirit, Was Seen By Angels, Was Preached Among The Nations, Was Believed On In The World, Was Taken Up In Glory.
