I TIMOTHY
Chapter 3
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:1 | This is a true saying, If any man desire the office of a Bishop, he desireth a worthie worke. | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:2 | A Bishop therefore must be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, watching, temperate, modest, harberous, apt to teache, | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:3 | Not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not couetous, | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:4 | One that can rule his owne house honestly, hauing children vnder obedience with all honestie. | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:6 | He may not be a yong scholer, lest he being puffed vp fall into the condemnation of the deuill. | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:7 | He must also be well reported of, euen of them which are without, lest he fall into rebuke, and the snare of the deuill. | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:8 | Likewise must Deacons be graue, not double tongued, not giuen vnto much wine, neither to filthy lucre, | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:11 | Likewise their wiues must be honest, not euill speakers, but sober, and faithfull in all things. | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:12 | Let the Deacons be the husbands of one wife, and such as can rule their children well, and their owne housholdes. | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:13 | For they that haue ministred well, get them selues a good degree, and great libertie in the faith, which is in Christ Iesus. | |
I Ti | Geneva15 | 3:15 | But if I tary long, that thou maist yet know, how thou oughtest to behaue thy self in ye house of God, which is the Church of the liuing God, the pillar and ground of trueth. | |
