- 1
This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.
- 2
The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
- 3
not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
- 4
one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
- 5
(for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)
- 6
not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
- 7
Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
- 8
Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,
- 9
holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
- 10
Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
- 11
Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.
- 12
Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
- 13
For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
- 14
These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly,
- 15
but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
- 16
Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

PALABRA fiel: Si alguno apetece obispado, buena obra desea.
- 2
Conviene, pues, que el obispo sea irreprensible, marido de una mujer, solícito, templado, compuesto, hospedador, apto para enseñar;
- 3
No amador del vino, no heridor, no codicioso de torpes ganancias, sino moderado, no litigioso, ajeno de avaricia;
- 4
Que gobierne bien su casa, que tenga sus hijos en sujeción con toda honestidad;
- 5
(Porque el que no sabe gobernar su casa, ¿cómo cuidará de la iglesia de Dios?)
- 6
No un neófito, porque inflándose no caiga en juicio del diablo.
- 7
También conviene que tenga buen testimonio de los extraños, porque no caiga en afrenta y en lazo del diablo.
- 8
Los diáconos asimismo, deben ser honestos, no bilingües, no dados á mucho vino, no amadores de torpes ganancias;
- 9
Que tengan el misterio de la fe con limpia conciencia.
- 10
Y éstos también sean antes probados; y así ministren, si fueren sin crimen.
- 11
Las mujeres asimismo, honestas, no detractoras, templadas, fieles en todo.
- 12
Los diáconos sean maridos de una mujer, que gobiernen bien sus hijos y sus casas.
- 13
Porque los que bien ministraren, ganan para sí buen grado, y mucha confianza en la fe que es en Cristo Jesús.
- 14
Esto te escribo con esperanza que iré presto á ti:
- 15
Y si no fuere tan presto, para que sepas cómo te conviene conversar en la casa de Dios, que es la iglesia del Dios vivo, columna y apoyo de la verdad.
- 16
Y sin contradicción, grande es el misterio de la piedad: Dios ha sido manifestado en carne; ha sido justificado con el Espíritu; ha sido visto de los ángeles; ha sido predicado á los Gentiles; ha sido creído en el mundo; ha sido recibido en gloria.
