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}
AndG1161 when they had ordainedG5500 themG846 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 churchG1577, and had prayedG4336 withG3326 fastingG3521, they commendedG3908 themG846 to the LordG2962, onG1519 whomG3739 they believedG4100.
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 they didG4160, and sent itG649 toG4314 the eldersG4245 byG1223 the handsG5495 of BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569.
LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319.
IsG770 anyG5100 sickG770 amongG1722 youG5213? let him callG4341 for the eldersG4245 of the churchG1577; andG2532 let them prayG4336 overG1909 himG846, anointingG218 himG846 with oilG1637 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962:
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}
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
AndG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, to knowG1492 them whichG3588 labourG2872 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 are overG4291 youG5216 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 admonishG3560 youG5209;
RememberG3421 them which have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, whoG3748 have spokenG2980 unto youG5213 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: whoseG3739 faithG4102 followG3401, consideringG333 the endG1545 of their conversationG391. {have the rule: or, are the guides}
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
SaluteG782 allG3956 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 allG3956 the saintsG40. They ofG575 ItalyG2482 saluteG782 youG5209.
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
AndG1161 they saidG2036, BelieveG4100 onG1909 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 thouG4771 shalt be savedG4982, andG2532 thyG4675 houseG3624.
Behold, when we comeH935 into the landH776, thou shalt bindH7194 this lineH8615 of scarletH8144 threadH2339 in the windowH2474 which thou didst let us down byH3381: and thou shalt bringH622 thy fatherH1, and thy motherH517, and thy brethrenH251, and all thy father'sH1 householdH1004, homeH1004 unto thee. {bring: Heb. gather}
SpeakH1696 ye unto all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, In the tenthH6218 day of this monthH2320 they shall takeH3947 to them every manH376 a lambH7716, according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, a lambH7716 for an houseH1004: {lamb: or, kid}
But with thee will I establishH6965 my covenantH1285; and thou shalt comeH935 intoH413 the arkH8392, thouH859, and thy sonsH1121, and thy wifeH802, and thy sons'H1121 wivesH802 with thee.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto NoahH5146, ComeH935 thou and all thy houseH1004 into the arkH8392; for thee have I seenH7200 righteousH6662 before meH6440 in thisH2088 generationH1755.
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?)
DrinkG5202 no longerG3371 waterG5202, butG235 useG5530 a littleG3641 wineG3631 forG1223 thyG4675 stomach's sakeG4751 andG2532 thineG4675 oftenG4437 infirmitiesG769.
