GREEK BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Πιστος ο λογος? Εαν τις ορεγηται επισκοπην, καλον εργον επιθυμει.1 A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 Πρεπει λοιπον ο επισκοπος να ηναι αμεμπτος, μιας γυναικος ανηρ, αγρυπνος, σωφρων, κοσμιος, φιλοξενος, διδακτικος,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,
3 ουχι μεθυσος, ουχι πληκτης, ουχι αισχροκερδης, αλλ' επιεικης, αμαχος, αφιλαργυρος,3 Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
4 κυβερνων καλως τον εαυτου οικον, εχων τα τεκνα αυτου εις υποταγην μετα πασης σεμνοτητος?4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
5 διοτι εαν τις δεν εξευρη να κυβερνα τον εαυτου οικον, πως θελει επιμεληθη την εκκλησιαν του Θεου;5 But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
6 να μη ηναι νεοκατηχητος, δια να μη υπερηφανευθη και πεση εις την καταδικην του διαβολου.6 Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
7 Πρεπει δε αυτος να εχη και παρα των εξωθεν μαρτυριαν καλην, δια να μη πεση εις ονειδισμον και παγιδα του διαβολου.7 Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8 Οι διακονοι ωσαυτως πρεπει να ηναι σεμνοι, ουχι διγλωσσοι, ουχι δεδομενοι εις οινον πολυν, ουχι αισχροκερδεις,8 Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
9 εχοντες το μυστηριον της πιστεως μετα καθαρας συνειδησεως.9 Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
10 Και ουτοι δε ας δοκιμαζωνται πρωτον, επειτα ας γινωνται διακονοι, εαν ηναι αμεμπτοι.10 And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
11 Αι γυναικες ωσαυτως σεμναι, ουχι καταλαλοι, εγκρατεις, πισται κατα παντα.11 The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
12 Οι διακονοι ας ηναι μιας γυναικος ανδρες, κυβερνωντες καλως τα τεκνα αυτων και τους οικους αυτων.12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
13 Διοτι οι καλως διακονησαντες αποκτωσιν εις εαυτους βαθμον καλον και πολλην παρρησιαν εις την πιστιν την εις τον Ιησουν Χριστον.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.
14 Ταυτα σοι γραφω, ελπιζων να ελθω προς σε ταχυτερον?14 These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.
15 αλλ' εαν βραδυνω, δια να εξευρης πως πρεπει να πολιτευησαι εν τω οικω του Θεου, οστις ειναι η εκκλησια του Θεου του ζωντος, ο στυλος και το εδραιωμα της αληθειας.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.
16 Και αναντιρρητως το μυστηριον της ευσεβειας ειναι μεγα? ο Θεος εφανερωθη εν σαρκι, εδικαιωθη εν πνευματι, εφανη εις αγγελους, εκηρυχθη εις τα εθνη, επιστευθη εις τον κοσμον, ανεληφθη εν δοξη.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.
