My LORD’s Bible1 Timothy 3
1This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
πιστος ο λογος ει τις επισκοπης ορεγεται καλου εργου επιθυμει (4653)

2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
δει ουν τον επισκοπον ανεπιληπτον ειναι μιας γυναικος ανδρα {VAR1: νηφαλεον } {VAR2: νηφαλιον } σωφρονα κοσμιον φιλοξενον διδακτικον (8413)

3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
ει δε τις του ιδιου οικου προστηναι ουκ οιδεν πως εκκλησιας θεου επιμελησεται (6568)

6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
μη νεοφυτον ινα μη τυφωθεις εις κριμα εμπεση του διαβολου (5907)

7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
δει δε αυτον και μαρτυριαν καλην εχειν απο των εξωθεν ινα μη εις ονειδισμον εμπεση και παγιδα του διαβολου (7549)

8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
και ουτοι δε δοκιμαζεσθωσαν πρωτον ειτα διακονειτωσαν ανεγκλητοι οντες (6666)

12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

See also: Genesis 18:19, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Timothy 3:2, 1 Timothy 3:4, Titus 1:6, Philippians 1:1, 1 Timothy 3:8, 1 Timothy 5:9
13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
οι γαρ καλως διακονησαντες βαθμον εαυτοις καλον περιποιουνται και πολλην παρρησιαν εν πιστει τη εν χριστω ιησου (9239)

15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
εαν δε βραδυνω ινα ειδης πως δει εν οικω θεου αναστρεφεσθαι ητις εστιν εκκλησια θεου ζωντος στυλος και εδραιωμα της αληθειας (11882)

16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
και ομολογουμενως μεγα εστιν το της ευσεβειας μυστηριον θεος εφανερωθη εν σαρκι εδικαιωθη εν πνευματι ωφθη αγγελοις εκηρυχθη εν εθνεσιν επιστευθη εν κοσμω ανεληφθη εν δοξη (15516)
