ABP - I Timothy - 3

3:1  Trustworthy is the word. If any [2overseership 1reaches for], [2a good 3work 1he desires].

3:2  It is necessary then the overseer to be unassailable, [2of one 3wife 1a husband], sober, discreet, composed, hospitable, qualified for teaching;

3:3  not intemperate in the use of wine, not a brawler, not profiting through vice; but lenient, not quarrelsome, not loving money,

3:4  [4his own 5house 2well 1standing 3over], [2children 1having] in submission with all seriousness;

3:5  (and if any [3his own 4house 2how to stand over 1knows not], how [2the assembly 3of God 1shall he care for]?)

3:6  Not a novice, that not being deluded [2in 3judgment 1he should fall] of the devil.

3:7  But it is necessary for him also [3witness 2a good 1to have] from the ones outside, that [2not 4into 5scorning 1he should 3fall], and the snare of the devil.

3:8  Servants likewise be serious, not double-talking, not [3wine 2to much 1attentive], not profiting through vice,

3:9  having the mystery of the belief with a clean conscience.

3:10  And these also let them be approved first, then let them serve being without reproach!

3:11  Wives likewise be serious, not slanderers, sober, trustworthy in all things.

3:12  Servants be [2of one 3wife 1husbands]! [2children 3well 1standing over] and their own houses.

3:13  For the ones [2well 1having served 5rank 6for themselves 4a good 3procure], and much confidence in belief, in the one in Christ Jesus.

3:14  These things to you I write hoping to come to you more quickly.

3:15  But if I should be slowed, that you should know how it is necessary [2in 3the house 4of God 1to behave], which is the assembly of the living God, column and base of the truth.

3:16  And confessedly great is the [2of the 3piety 1mystery]; God made manifest in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among nations, believed in the world, taken up in glory.
