World English Bible
1πιστοσ ο λογοσ ει τισ επισκοπησ ορεγεται καλου εργου επιθυμει
1This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.
2δει ουν τον επισκοπον ανεπιληπτον ειναι μιασ γυναικοσ ανδρα νηφαλεον σωφρονα κοσμιον φιλοξενον διδακτικον
2The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
3μη παροινον μη πληκτην μη αισχροκερδη αλλ επιεικη αμαχον αφιλαργυρον
3not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
4του ιδιου οικου καλωσ προισταμενον τεκνα εχοντα εν υποταγη μετα πασησ σεμνοτητοσ
4one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
5ει δε τισ του ιδιου οικου προστηναι ουκ οιδεν πωσ εκκλησιασ θεου επιμελησεται
5(for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)
6μη νεοφυτον ινα μη τυφωθεισ εισ κριμα εμπεση του διαβολου
6not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
7δει δε αυτον και μαρτυριαν καλην εχειν απο των εξωθεν ινα μη εισ ονειδισμον εμπεση και παγιδα του διαβολου
7Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8διακονουσ ωσαυτωσ σεμνουσ μη διλογουσ μη οινω πολλω προσεχοντασ μη αισχροκερδεισ
8Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,
9εχοντασ το μυστηριον τησ πιστεωσ εν καθαρα συνειδησει
9holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10και ουτοι δε δοκιμαζεσθωσαν πρωτον ειτα διακονειτωσαν ανεγκλητοι οντεσ
10Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
11γυναικασ ωσαυτωσ σεμνασ μη διαβολουσ νηφαλεουσ πιστασ εν πασιν
11Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.
12διακονοι εστωσαν μιασ γυναικοσ ανδρεσ τεκνων καλωσ προισταμενοι και των ιδιων οικων
12Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13οι γαρ καλωσ διακονησαντεσ βαθμον εαυτοισ καλον περιποιουνται και πολλην παρρησιαν εν πιστει τη εν χριστω ιησου
13For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14ταυτα σοι γραφω ελπιζων ελθειν προσ σε ταχιον
14These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly,
15εαν δε βραδυνω ινα ειδησ πωσ δει εν οικω θεου αναστρεφεσθαι ητισ εστιν εκκλησια θεου ζωντοσ στυλοσ και εδραιωμα τησ αληθειασ
15but 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.
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
16Without 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.
