| 1st-Timothy 3:5 | (If a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?) | (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?) | 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 | 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. | 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. | Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:7 | 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. | 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. | 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 the same way, must be men of serious demeanour, not double-tongued, nor addicted to much wine, nor greedy of base gain, | 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 like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre: |
| 1st-Timothy 3:9 | but holding the secret truths of the faith with a clear conscience. | Keeping the secret of the faith in a heart free from sin. | holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. | Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:10 | And they must also be well-tried men, and when found to be of unblemished character then let them serve as deacons. | 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 let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:11 | Deaconesses, in the same way, must be sober-minded women, not slanderers, but in every way temperate and trustworthy. | 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. | The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:12 | A deacon must be true to his one wife, and rule his children and his own household wisely and 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. | Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:13 | 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. | 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 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 | All this I write to you, though I am hoping before long to come to see you. | 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; | These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly. |
| 1st-Timothy 3:15 | 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. | 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 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, 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. | 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 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. |
