Revised Young's Literal Translation
New Testament
| 3:1 | Stedfast is the word: If any one the oversight does long for, a right work he desires; |
| 3:2 | it benefits, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach, |
| 3:3 | not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money, |
| 3:4 | his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity, |
| 3:5 | (and if any one his own house how to lead has not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?) |
| 3:6 | not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil; |
| 3:7 | and it benefits him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil. |
| 3:8 | Ministers -- in like manner grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not given to filthy lucre, |
| 3:9 | having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience, |
| 3:10 | and let these also first be proved, then let them minister, being unblameable. |
| 3:11 | Women -- in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things. |
| 3:12 | Ministers -- let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses, |
| 3:13 | for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that is in Christ Jesus. |
| 3:14 | These things I write to you, hoping to come unto you soon, |
| 3:15 | and if I delay, that you may know how it benefits you to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God -- a pillar and foundation of the truth, |
| 3:16 | and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory! |
