| The Book of 1st Timothy 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) | ||||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:1 | A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:2 | It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher, | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:3 | Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:4 | One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:5 | But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:6 | Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:7 | Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:8 | Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre: | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:9 | Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:10 | And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:11 | The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:12 | Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:13 | For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:14 | These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:15 | But 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. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 3:16 | And 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. | |||||||||||||||
