| 1st-Timothy 3:1 | Faithful is the saying, If a man seeketh the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. | This is a true saying, A man desiring the position of a Bishop has a desire for a good work. | This is a faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires a good work. | Faithful is the saying, "If any one is eager to have the oversight of a Church, he desires a noble work." |
| 1st-Timothy 3:2 | The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; | The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher; | The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching; | A minister then must be a man of irreproachable character, true to his one wife, temperate, sober-minded, well-behaved, hospitable to strangers, and with a gift for teaching; |
| 1st-Timothy 3:3 | no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; | Not quickly moved to wrath or blows, but gentle; no fighter, no lover of money; | not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; | not a hard drinker nor given to blows; not selfish or quarrelsome or covetous; |
| 1st-Timothy 3:4 | one that ruleth well his own house, having [his] children in subjection with all gravity; | Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behaviour; | one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence; | but ruling his own household wisely and well, with children kept under control with true dignity. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:5 | (but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) | (For if a man has not the art of ruling his house, how will he take care of the church of God?) | (but if a man doesn't know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?) | (If a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?) |
| 1st-Timothy 3:6 | not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil. | Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One. | not a novice, to avoid being puffed up and falling into the condemnation of the devil. | He ought not to be a new convert, for fear he should be blinded with pride and come under the same condemnation as the Devil. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:7 | Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. | And he is to have a good name among those outside the church, so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One. | Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil. | It is needful also that he bear a good character with people outside the Church, lest he fall into reproach or a snare of the Devil. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:8 | Deacons in like manner [must be] grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; | Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world; | Deacons, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money; | Deacons, in the same way, must be men of serious demeanour, not double-tongued, nor addicted to much wine, nor greedy of base gain, |
| 1st-Timothy 3:9 | holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. | Keeping the secret of the faith in a heart free from sin. | holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. | but holding the secret truths of the faith with a clear conscience. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:10 | And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they be blameless. | And let these first be put to the test; then let them become Deacons if there is nothing against them. | Let them also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, if they are blameless. | And they must also be well-tried men, and when found to be of unblemished character then let them serve as deacons. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:11 | Women in like manner [must be] grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. | Women are to be serious in behaviour, saying no evil of others, controlling themselves, true in all things. | Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. | Deaconesses, in the same way, must be sober-minded women, not slanderers, but in every way temperate and trustworthy. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:12 | Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling [their] children and their own houses well. | Let Deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their houses well. | Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. | A deacon must be true to his one wife, and rule his children and his own household wisely and well. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:13 | For they that have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. | For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. | For those who have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. | For those who have filled the deacon's office wisely and well, are already gaining for themselves an honourable standing, and are acquiring great freedom of speech in proclaiming the faith which rests on Christ Jesus. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:14 | These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly; | I am writing these things to you, though I am hoping to come to you before long; | These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly; | All this I write to you, though I am hoping before long to come to see you. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:15 | but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. | But if I am long in coming, this will make clear to you what behaviour is right for men in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of what is true. | but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. | But, for fear I may be hindered, I now write, so that you may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household. For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is, and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:16 | And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. | And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory. | Without 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. | And, beyond controversy, great is the mystery of our religion that Christ appeared in human form, and His claims justified by the Spirit, was seen by angels and proclaimed among Gentile nations, was believed on in the world, and received up again into glory. |
