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 new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same
condemnation as 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.
