I Timotheum 3

Bibbia Vulgata Clementina	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ Fidelis sermo : si quis episcopatum desiderat, bonum opus desiderat.	¹ The saying is sure: If any one aspires to the office of bishop, he desires a noble task.
² Oportet ergo episcopum irreprehensibilem esse, unius uxoris virum, sobrium, prudentem, ornatum, pudicum, hospitalem, doctorem,	² Now a bishop must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, an apt teacher,
³ non vinolentum, non percussorem, sed modestum : non litigiosum, non cupidum, sed	³ no drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, and no lover of money.
⁴ suæ domui bene præpositum : filios habentem subditos cum omni castitate.	⁴ He must manage his own household well, keeping his children submissive and respectful in every way;
⁵ Si quis autem domui suæ præesse nescit, quomodo ecclesiæ Dei diligentiam habebit ?	⁵ for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for God's church?
⁶ Non neophytum : ne in superbiam elatus, in judicium incidat diaboli.	⁶ He must not be a recent convert, or he may be puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil;
⁷ Oportet autem illum et testimonium habere bonum ab iis qui foris sunt, ut non in opprobrium incidat, et in laqueum diaboli.	⁷ moreover he must be well thought of by outsiders, or he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
⁸ Diaconos similiter pudicos, non bilingues, non multo vino deditos, non turpe lucrum sectantes :	⁸ Deacons likewise must be serious, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for gain;
⁹ habentes mysterium fidei in conscientia pura.	⁹ they must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
¹⁰ Et hi autem probentur primum : et sic ministrent, nullum crimen habentes.	¹⁰ And let them also be tested first; then if they prove themselves blameless let them serve as deacons.
¹¹ Mulieres similiter pudicas, non detrahentes, sobrias, fideles in omnibus.	¹¹ The women likewise must be serious, no slanderers, but temperate, faithful in all things.
¹² Diaconi sint unius uxoris viri, qui filiis suis bene præsint, et suis domibus.	¹² Let deacons be the husband of one wife, and let them manage their children and their households well;
¹³ Qui enim bene ministraverint, gradum bonum sibi acquirent, et multam fiduciam in fide, quæ est in Christo Jesu.	¹³ for those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
¹⁴ Hæc tibi scribo, sperans me ad te venire cito :	¹⁴ I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that,
¹⁵ si autem tardavero, ut scias quomodo oporteat te in domo Dei conversari, quæ est ecclesia Dei vivi, columna et firmamentum veritatis.	¹⁵ if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
¹⁶ Et manifeste magnum est pietatis sacramentum, quod manifestatum est in carne, justificatum est in spiritu, apparuit angelis, prædicatum est gentibus, creditum est in mundo, assumptum est in gloria.	¹⁶ Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.
