\subsection{I Timothy 3}
\VS{1} Trustworthy [is this] word: if anyone aspires [to be] overseer, he desires [a] good work.
\VS{2} The overseer must be irreproachable, husband of one wife, temperate,
prudent, respectable, hospitable, skillful-at-teaching,
\VS{3} not drunken,
not belligerent, but fair, peaceable, not-greedy,
\VS{4} [one] managing his house
well, having his children in subjection with all respectfulness,
\VS{5} for if anyone does not know [how] to manage his own house,
how will he take care of the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of God?
\VS{6} Not [a] novice, lest having been puffed up he fall
into [the] judgment of the devil.
\VS{7} And [he] must also be having [a] good testimony
from [those] outside, lest he fall into [the] reproach and snare of the devil.
\VS{8} Likewise [the] serving [ones] must be respectful,
not two-tongued, not being given to much wine, not fond-of-dishonest-gain,
\VS{9} having the testimony of faith
in [a] clean conscience.
\VS{10} And let these be being proved\footnote{or
``tested''} first, then let them be serving, being irreproachable.
\VS{11} Likewise [must] wives [be] respectful, not
slanderers\footnote{or ``devilish'' ?},
temperate, trustworthy in everything.
\VS{12} Let [the] serving [ones] be husbands of
one wife, managing well [their] children and their own house.
\VS{13} For the [ones] having served well make to themselves [a]
good standing and [a] great boldness in the faith [which is] in Christ Jesus.
\VS{14} These [things] I write to you hoping to come to
you swiftly.
\VS{15} But if I delay, [I write] in order that you know how to conduct
[yourself] in the house of God, which is [the] assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of [the] zoe-living\fnZoe{} God, [the] pillar and mainstay of the truth.
\VS{16} And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness:
\begin{verse}
God\footnote{``God": \koine{}; ``He who": \hesychian{}; ``What": D} was manifested in [the] flesh,
\\
Justified in the spirit, \\
Seen by angels, \\
Was preached to the nations, \\
Was believed in [the] world, \\
Was taken up in glory.
\end{verse}
