World English Bible Classic
[1] This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer§ desires a good work. [2] The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching; [3] not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; [4] one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence; [5] (for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?) [6] not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. [7] Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil. [8] Servants,§ in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money, [9] holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. [10] Let them also first be tested; then let them serve§ if they are blameless. [11] Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things. [12] Let servants§ be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. [13] For those who have served well§ gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. [14] These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly, [15] but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. [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.
