New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |

|
| 3 1 | The saying is sure: If anyone aspires to the office of bishop, he desires a noble task. | Qualifications of Bishops 1Tm.3.1-7 | Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος· εἰ τις ἐπισκοπῆς ὀρέγεται, καλοῦ ἐργου ἐπιθυμεῖ. |
|
| 2 | Now a bishop must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, an apt teacher, | | δεῖ οὖν τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνεπίλημπτον εἶναι, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνδρα, νηφάλιον, σώφρονα, κόσμιον, φιλόξενον, διδακτικόν, |
|
| 3 | no drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, and no lover of money. | | μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, ἀλλὰ ἐπιεικῆ, ἀμαχον, ἀφιλάργυρον, |
|
| 4 | He must manage his own household well, keeping his children submissive and respectful in every way; | | τοῦ ἰδίου οἰκου καλῶς προϊστάμενον, τέκνα ἐχοντα ἐν ὑποταγῇ μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος· |
|
| 5 | for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for God's church? | | (εἰ δέ τις τοῦ ἰδίου οἰκου προστῆναι οὐκ οἶδεν, πῶς ἐκκλησίας θεοῦ ἐπιμελήσεταὶ;) |
|
| 6 | He must not be a recent convert, or he may be puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil; | | μὴ νεόφυτον, ἵνα μὴ τυφωθεὶς εἰς κρίμα ἐμπέσῃ τοῦ διαβόλου. |
|
| 7 | moreover he must be well thought of by outsiders, or he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. | | δεῖ δὲ καὶ μαρτυρίαν καλὴν ἐχειν ἀπὸ τῶν ἐξωθεν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ καὶ παγίδα τοῦ διαβόλου. |
