Chapter 3 This is a true saying,
If a man desire the office of a bishop,

00:07.240 --> 00:08.960
he desireth a good work.

00:09.720 --> 00:14.660
A bishop then must be blameless,
a husband of one wife, vigilant,

00:15.180 --> 00:21.700
sober, of good behaviour, given to
hospitality, apt to teach, not given to

00:21.700 --> 00:28.160
wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy
lucre, but patient, not a brawler,

00:28.360 --> 00:35.360
not covetous, one that ruleth well his own
house, having his children in subjection

00:35.360 --> 00:36.340
with all gravity.

00:36.780 --> 00:41.300
For if a man know not how to rule his own
house, how shall he take care of the

00:41.300 --> 00:42.100
church of God?

00:43.320 --> 00:48.400
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with
pride, he fall into the condemnation of

00:48.400 --> 00:48.760
the devil.

00:49.540 --> 00:54.260
Moreover, he must have a good report of
them which are without, lest he fall into

00:54.260 --> 00:56.300
reproach and the snare of the devil.

00:57.020 --> 01:03.060
Likewise, must the deacons be grave,
not double-tongued, not given to much

01:03.060 --> 01:08.760
wine, not greedy of filthy lucre,
holding the mystery of the faith in a pure

01:08.760 --> 01:09.360
conscience.

01:09.920 --> 01:15.280
And let these also first be proved,
then let them use the office of a deacon,

01:15.860 --> 01:16.900
being found blameless.

01:17.800 --> 01:23.980
Even so must their wives be grave,
not slanderers, sober, faithful in all

01:23.980 --> 01:24.420
things.

01:25.300 --> 01:30.400
Let the deacons be the husbands of one
wife, ruling their children and their own

01:30.400 --> 01:31.200
houses well.

01:31.860 --> 01:36.820
For they that have used the office of a
deacon well, purchase to themselves a good

01:36.820 --> 01:41.000
degree, and great boldness in the faith
which is in Christ Jesus.

01:41.740 --> 01:45.460
These things write I unto thee,
hoping to come unto thee shortly.

01:45.460 --> 01:50.680
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know
how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the

01:50.680 --> 01:55.860
house of God, which is the church of the
living God, the pillar and ground of the

01:55.860 --> 01:56.160
truth.

01:56.880 --> 02:00.620
And without controversy, great is the
mystery of godliness.

02:01.280 --> 02:06.480
God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the spirit, seen of angels,

02:06.920 --> 02:12.360
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in
the world, received up into glory.
