This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713 the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041.
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187 he fallG1706 intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith}
MoreoverG1161+G2532 heG846 mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146;
HoldingG2192 the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 inG1722 a pureG2513 conscienceG4893.
AndG1161 letG1381 theseG3778 alsoG2532 firstG4412 be provedG1381; thenG1534 let them use the office of a deaconG1247, beingG5607 found blamelessG410.
Even soG5615 must their wivesG1135 be graveG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, soberG3524, faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
LetG2077 the deaconsG1249 beG2077 the husbandsG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, rulingG4291 their childrenG5043 andG2532 their ownG2398 housesG3624 wellG2573.
ForG1063 they that have used the office of a deaconG1247 wellG2573 purchaseG4046 to themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 degreeG898, andG2532 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 inG1722 the faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. {used…: or, ministered}
These thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto theeG4671, hopingG1679 to comeG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571 shortlyG5032:
ButG1161 ifG1437 I tarry longG1019, thatG2443 thou mayest knowG1492 howG4459 thou oughtestG1163 to behave thyselfG390 inG1722 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, whichG3748 isG2076 the churchG1577 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the pillarG4769 andG2532 groundG1477 of the truthG225. {ground: or, stay}
AndG2532 without controversyG3672 greatG3173 isG2076 the mysteryG3466 of godlinessG2150: GodG2316 was manifestG5319 inG1722 the fleshG4561, justifiedG1344 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, seenG3700 of angelsG32, preachedG2784 untoG1722 the GentilesG1484, believed onG4100 inG1722 the worldG2889, received upG353 intoG1722 gloryG1391.
PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG1161 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, according toG2596 the faithG4102 of God'sG2316 electG1588, andG2532 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225 whichG3588 is afterG2596 godlinessG2150;
InG1909 hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 GodG2316, that cannot lieG893, promisedG1861 beforeG4253 the worldG166 beganG5550; {In: or, For}
ButG1161 hathG5319 in dueG2398 timesG2540 manifestedG5319 hisG846 wordG3056 throughG1722 preachingG2782, whichG3739 is committedG4100 unto meG1473 according toG2596 the commandmentG2003 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990;
To TitusG5103, mine ownG1103 sonG5043 afterG2596 the commonG2839 faithG4102: GraceG5485, mercyG1656, and peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4571 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the things that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4671: {wanting: or, left undone}
If anyG1536 beG2076 blamelessG410, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, havingG2192 faithfulG4103 childrenG5043 notG3361 accusedG1722+G2724 of riotG810 orG2228 unrulyG506.
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
ButG235 a lover of hospitalityG5382, a lover of good menG5358, soberG4998, justG1342, holyG3741, temperateG1468; {men: or, things}
Holding fastG472 the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 asG2596 he hath been taughtG1322, thatG2443 he may beG5600 ableG1415 byG1722 soundG5198 doctrineG1319 bothG2532 to exhortG3870 andG2532 to convinceG1651 the gainsayersG483. {as…: or, in teaching}
ForG1063 there areG1526 manyG4183 unrulyG506 andG2532 vain talkersG3151 andG2532 deceiversG5423, speciallyG3122 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061:
WhoseG3739 mouthsG1993 mustG1163 be stoppedG1993, whoG3748 subvertG396 wholeG3650 housesG3624, teachingG1321 things whichG3739 they oughtG1163 notG3361, forG5484 filthyG150 lucre'sG2771 sakeG5484.
OneG5100 ofG1537 themselvesG846, even a prophetG4396 of theirG846 ownG2398, saidG2036, The CretiansG2912 are alwayG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 beastsG2342, slowG692 belliesG1064.
ThisG3778 witnessG3141 isG2076 trueG227. WhereforeG1223+G3739+G156 rebukeG1651 themG846 sharplyG664, thatG2443 they may be soundG5198 inG1722 the faithG4102;
NotG3361 giving heedG4337 to JewishG2451 fablesG3454, andG2532 commandmentsG1785 of menG444, that turn fromG654 the truthG225.
Unto the pureG2513 all thingsG3956 are pureG3303+G2513: butG1161 unto them that are defiledG3392 andG2532 unbelievingG571 is nothingG3762 pureG2513; butG235 evenG2532 theirG846 mindG3563 andG2532 conscienceG4893 is defiledG3392.
They professG3670 that they knowG1492 GodG2316; butG1161 in worksG2041 they denyG720 him, beingG5607 abominableG947, andG2532 disobedientG545, andG2532 untoG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 reprobateG96. {reprobate: or, void of judgment}
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
LikewiseG3668, ye youngerG3501, submit yourselvesG5293 unto the elderG4245. YeaG1161, allG3956 of you be subjectG5293 one to anotherG240, and be clothedG1463 with humilityG5012: forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, andG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.
Humble yourselvesG5013 thereforeG3767 underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of GodG2316, thatG2443 he may exaltG5312 youG5209 inG1722 due timeG2540:
CastingG1977 allG3956 yourG5216 careG3308 uponG1909 himG846; forG3754 heG846 carethG3199 forG4012 youG5216.
Be soberG3525, be vigilantG1127; becauseG3754 yourG5216 adversaryG476 the devilG1228, asG5613 a roaringG5612 lionG3023, walketh aboutG4043, seekingG2212 whomG5101 he may devourG2666:
WhomG3739 resistG436 stedfastG4731 in the faithG4102, knowingG1492 that the sameG846 afflictionsG3804 are accomplishedG2005 in yourG5216 brethrenG81 that are inG1722 the worldG2889.
ButG1161 the GodG2316 of allG3956 graceG5485, whoG3588 hath calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1519 hisG846 eternalG166 gloryG1391 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, after that ye have sufferedG3958 a whileG3641+G846, makeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675, stablishG4741, strengthenG4599, settleG2311 you.
To himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
ByG1223 SilvanusG4610, a faithfulG4103 brotherG80 unto youG5213, asG5613 I supposeG3049, I have writtenG1125 brieflyG1223+G3641, exhortingG3870, andG2532 testifyingG1957 that thisG5026 isG1511 the trueG227 graceG5485 of GodG2316 whereinG1519+G3739 ye standG2476.
The church that is atG1722 BabylonG897, elected together withG4899 you, salutethG782 youG5209; andG2532 so doth MarcusG3138 myG3450 sonG5207.
Greet yeG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 a kissG5370 of charityG26. PeaceG1515 be with youG5213 allG3956 that are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. AmenG281.
