New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer,
it is
a fine work he desires
to do.
2
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching,
3
not overindulging in wine, not a bully, but gentle, not contentious, free from the love of money.
4
He must be
one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity
King James Version
Chapter 3
1
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
This saying is trustworthy: "If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble work."
2
An overseer, therefore, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3
not an excessive drinker, not a bully but gentle, not quarrelsome, not greedy.
4
He must manage his own household competently and have his children under control with all dignity.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
1
This is a trustworthy saying: 'If someone aspires to be a church leader, he desires an honorable position.'
2
So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach.
3
He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money.
4
He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
1
The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.
2
Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3
not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
4
He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive,
New International Version
Chapter 3
1
Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.
2
Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3
not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
4
He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect.
New King James Version
