1 Timothy 3
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1This is a true 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
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
2δει ουν τον επισκοπον ανεπιληπτον ειναι μιασ γυναικοσ ανδρα νηφαλεον σωφρονα κοσμιον φιλοξενον διδακτικον
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
3μη παροινον μη πληκτην μη αισχροκερδη αλλ επιεικη αμαχον αφιλαργυρον
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
4του ιδιου οικου καλωσ προισταμενον τεκνα εχοντα εν υποταγη μετα πασησ σεμνοτητοσ
5(For 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 novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
6μη νεοφυτον ινα μη τυφωθεισ εισ κριμα εμπεση του διαβολου
7Moreover he must have a good report of them which 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
8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, 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 the faith in a pure conscience.
9εχοντασ το μυστηριον τησ πιστεωσ εν καθαρα συνειδησει
10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
10και ουτοι δε δοκιμαζεσθωσαν πρωτον ειτα διακονειτωσαν ανεγκλητοι οντεσ
11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
11γυναικασ ωσαυτωσ σεμνασ μη διαβολουσ νηφαλεουσ πιστασ εν πασιν
12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
12διακονοι εστωσαν μιασ γυναικοσ ανδρεσ τεκνων καλωσ προισταμενοι και των ιδιων οικων
13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness 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 write I unto thee, hoping to come unto 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 without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into 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
