nkjv 1Timothy:3:2-13
nkjv@1Timothy:3:2 @ A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;
nkjv@1Timothy:3:3 @ not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
nkjv@1Timothy:3:4 @ one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence
nkjv@1Timothy:3:5 @ (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);
nkjv@1Timothy:3:6 @ not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
nkjv@1Timothy:3:7 @ Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
nkjv@1Timothy:3:8 @ Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money,
nkjv@1Timothy:3:9 @ holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
nkjv@1Timothy:3:10 @ But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.
nkjv@1Timothy:3:11 @ Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
nkjv@1Timothy:3:12 @ Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
nkjv@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
