Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1πιστοσ ο λογοσ ει τισ επισκοπησ ορεγεται καλου εργου επιθυμει
2It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
2δει ουν τον επισκοπον ανεπιληπτον ειναι μιασ γυναικοσ ανδρα νηφαλεον σωφρονα κοσμιον φιλοξενον διδακτικον
3Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
3μη παροινον μη πληκτην μη αισχροκερδη αλλ επιεικη αμαχον αφιλαργυρον
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
4του ιδιου οικου καλωσ προισταμενον τεκνα εχοντα εν υποταγη μετα πασησ σεμνοτητοσ
5But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
5ει δε τισ του ιδιου οικου προστηναι ουκ οιδεν πωσ εκκλησιασ θεου επιμελησεται
6Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
6μη νεοφυτον ινα μη τυφωθεισ εισ κριμα εμπεση του διαβολου
7Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
7δει δε αυτον και μαρτυριαν καλην εχειν απο των εξωθεν ινα μη εισ ονειδισμον εμπεση και παγιδα του διαβολου
8Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
8διακονουσ ωσαυτωσ σεμνουσ μη διλογουσ μη οινω πολλω προσεχοντασ μη αισχροκερδεισ
9Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
9εχοντασ το μυστηριον τησ πιστεωσ εν καθαρα συνειδησει
10And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
10και ουτοι δε δοκιμαζεσθωσαν πρωτον ειτα διακονειτωσαν ανεγκλητοι οντεσ
11The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
11γυναικασ ωσαυτωσ σεμνασ μη διαβολουσ νηφαλεουσ πιστασ εν πασιν
12Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
12διακονοι εστωσαν μιασ γυναικοσ ανδρεσ τεκνων καλωσ προισταμενοι και των ιδιων οικων
13For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
13οι γαρ καλωσ διακονησαντεσ βαθμον εαυτοισ καλον περιποιουνται και πολλην παρρησιαν εν πιστει τη εν χριστω ιησου
14These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.
14ταυτα σοι γραφω ελπιζων ελθειν προσ σε ταχιον
15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
15εαν δε βραδυνω ινα ειδησ πωσ δει εν οικω θεου αναστρεφεσθαι ητισ εστιν εκκλησια θεου ζωντοσ στυλοσ και εδραιωμα τησ αληθειασ
16And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.
16και ομολογουμενωσ μεγα εστιν το τησ ευσεβειασ μυστηριον θεοσ εφανερωθη εν σαρκι εδικαιωθη εν πνευματι ωφθη αγγελοισ εκηρυχθη εν εθνεσιν επιστευθη εν κοσμω ανεληφθη εν δοξη
