1 Timothy 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Biblija Hrvatski
1 A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.	1 Vjerodostojna je riječ: teži li tko za nadgledništvom, časnu službu želi.
2 It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,	2 Treba stoga da nadglednik bude besprijekoran, jedne žene muž, trijezan, razuman, sređen, gostoljubiv, sposoban poučavati,
3 Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but	3 ne vinu sklon, ne nasilan, nego popustljiv, ne ratoboran, ne srebroljubac;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.	4 da svojom kućom dobro upravlja i sinove drži u pokornosti sa svom ozbiljnošću –
5 But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?	5 a ne zna li netko svojom kućom upravljati, kako će se brinuti za Crkvu Božju? –
6 Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.	6 ne novoobraćenik da se ne bi uzoholio i pao pod osudu đavlovu.
7 Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.	7 A treba da ima i lijepo svjedočanstvo od onih vani, da ne bi u rug upao i zamku đavlovu.
8 Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:	8 Đakoni isto tako treba da budu ozbiljni, ne dvolični, ne odani mnogom vinu ni prljavu dobitku –
9 Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.	9 imajući otajstvo vjere u čistoj savjesti.
10 And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.	10 I neka se najprije iskušavaju, pa onda, budu li besprigovorni, neka obavljaju službu.
11 The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.	11 Žene isto tako neka budu ozbiljne, ne klevetnice, nego trijezne, vjerne u svemu.
12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.	12 Đakoni neka budu jedne žene muževi, neka dobro upravljaju djecom i svojim kućama.
13 For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.	13 Jer oni koji dobro obavljaju službu, stječu častan položaj i veliku smjelost u vjeri, vjeri u Isusu Kristu.
14 These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.	14 Ovo ti pišem u nadi da ću ubrzo doći k tebi,
15 But 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.	15 a okasnim li, da znaš kako se treba vladati u kući Božjoj, koja je Crkva Boga živoga, stup i uporište istine.
16 And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.	16 Da, po sveopćem uvjerenju, veliko je Otajstvo pobožnosti: On, očitovan u tijelu, opravdan u Duhu, viđen od anđelâ, propovijedan među narodima, vjerovan u svijetu, uznesen u slavu.
