Sha'ul�s First Letter to Timothy, Chapter 3
{3:1} This is a faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an
overseer, he desires a good work. {3:2} The overseer therefore must be
without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible,
modest, hospitable, good at teaching; {3:3} not a drinker, not
violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not
covetous; {3:4} one who rules his own house well, having children in
subjection with all reverence; {3:5} (but if a man doesn't know how to
rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?)
{3:6} not a novice, to avoid being puffed up and falling into the
condemnation of the devil. {3:7} Moreover he must have good testimony
from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the
snare of the devil. {3:8} [1>]Shammashim[<1], in the same way, must be
reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy
for money; {3:9} holding the mystery of the faith in a pure
conscience. {3:10} Let them also first be tested; then let them serve
as [2>]shammashim[<2], if they are blameless. {3:11} Their wives in
the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in
all things. {3:12} Let [3>]shammashim[<3] be husbands of one wife,
ruling their children and their own houses well. {3:13} For those who
have served well as [4>]shammashim[<4] gain to themselves a good
standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Messiah Yeshua.
{3:14} These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;
{3:15} but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave
themselves in the house of God, which is the assembly of the living
God, the pillar and ground of the truth. {3:16} Without controversy,
the mystery of godliness is great:
God was revealed in the flesh,
Justified in the spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the nations,
Believed on in the world,
And received up in glory.
