For this G5127 cause G5484 left G2641 I you in Crete, G2914 that you should set G1930 in order G1930 the things that are wanting, G3007 and ordain G2525 elders G4245 in every G2596 city, G4172 as I had appointed G1299 you:

Paul G3972 and Timotheus, G5095 the servants G1401 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 to all G3956 the saints G40 in Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 which G3588 are at G1722 Philippi, G5375 with the bishops G1985 and deacons: G1249

This G3588 is a true G4103 saying, G3056 If G1487 a man G5100 desire G3713 the office G1984 of a bishop, G1984 he desires G1937 a good G2570 work. G2041

A bishop G1985 then G3767 must G1163 be blameless, G423 the husband G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 vigilant, G3524 sober, G4998 of good behavior, G2887 given to hospitality, G5382 apt G1317 to teach; G1317

One that rules G4291 well G2573 his own G2398 house, G3624 having G2192 his children G5043 in subjection G5292 with all G3956 gravity; G4587

Not a novice, G3504 lest G2443 G3361 being lifted G5187 up with pride G5187 he fall G1706 into G1519 the condemnation G2917 of the devil. G1228

Likewise G5615 must the deacons G1249 be grave, G4586 not double-tongued, G1351 not given G4337 to much G4183 wine, G3631 not greedy G146 of filthy lucre; G146

And let these G3778 also G2532 first G4412 be proved; G1381 then G1534 let them use the office G1247 of a deacon, G1247 being G5607 found blameless. G410

Let the deacons G1249 be the husbands G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 ruling G4291 their children G5043 and their own G2398 houses G3624 well. G2573

Who G5101 then G686 is a faithful G4103 and wise G5429 servant, G1401 whom G3739 his lord G2962 has made G2525 ruler G2525 over G1909 his household, G2322 to give G1325 them meat G5160 in due season? G2540

And the Lord G2962 said, G2036 Who G5101 then G686 is that faithful G4103 and wise G5429 steward, G3623 whom G3739 his lord G2962 shall make G2525 ruler G2525 over G1909 his household, G2322 to give G1325 them their portion G4620 of meat G4620 in due season? G2540

Let a man G444 so G3779 account G3049 of us, as of the ministers G5257 of Christ, G5547 and stewards G3623 of the mysteries G3466 of God. G2316

Moreover G3739 it is required G2212 in stewards, G3623 that a man G5100 be found G2147 faithful. G4103

As every G1538 man has received G2983 the gift, G5486 even so minister G1247 the same G846 one G1438 to another, G1438 as good G2570 stewards G3623 of the manifold G4164 grace G5485 of God. G2316

O my soul, H5315 come H935 not you into their secret; H5475 to their assembly, H6951 my honor, H3519 be not you united: H3161 for in their anger H639 they slew H2026 a man, H376 and in their self-will H7522 they dig H6131 down H6131 a wall. H7794

But chiefly G3122 them that walk G4198 after G3694 the flesh G4561 in the lust G1939 of uncleanness, G3394 and despise G2706 government. G2963 Presumptuous G5113 are they, self-willed, G829 they are not afraid G5141 to speak G987 evil G987 of dignities. G1391

He that is soon H7116 angry H639 deals H6213 foolishly: H200 and a man H376 of wicked H4209 devices H4209 is hated. H8130

A wrathful H2534 man H376 stirs H1624 up strife: H4066 but he that is slow H750 to anger H639 appeases H8252 strife. H7379

He that is slow H750 to anger H639 is better H2896 than H4480 the mighty; H1368 and he that rules H4910 his spirit H7307 than he that takes H3920 a city. H5892

Be not hasty H926 in your spirit H7307 to be angry: H3707 for anger H3708 rests H5117 in the bosom H2436 of fools. H3684

Why, G5620 my beloved G27 brothers, G80 let every G3956 man G444 be swift G5036 to hear, G191 slow G1021 to speak, G2980 slow G1021 to wrath: G3709

For the wrath G3709 of man G435 works G2716 not the righteousness G1343 of God. G2316

The aged G4247 women G4247 likewise, G5615 that they be in behavior G2688 as becomes G2412 holiness, G2412 not false G1228 accusers, G1228 not given G1402 to much G4183 wine, G3631 teachers G2567 of good G2567 things;

Do not drink H8354 wine H3196 nor strong drink, H7941 you, nor your sons H1121 with you, when you go H935 into H413 the tabernacle H168 of the congregation, H4150 lest H3808 you die: H4191 it shall be a statute H2708 for ever H5769 throughout your generations: H1755

It is not for kings, H4428 O Lemuel, H3927 it is not for kings H4428 to drink H8354 wine; H3196 nor H408 for princes H7336 strong drink: H7941

Lest H6435 they drink, H8354 and forget H7911 the law, H2710 and pervert H8138 the judgment H1779 of any H3605 of the afflicted. H6040

But they also H1571 have erred H7686 through wine, H3196 and through strong drink H7941 are out of the way; H8582 the priest H3548 and the prophet H5030 have erred H7686 through strong drink, H7941 they are swallowed H1104 up of wine, H3196 they are out of the way H8582 through H4480 strong drink; H7941 they err H7686 in vision, H7203 they stumble H6328 in judgment. H6417

Come H857 you, say they, I will fetch H3947 wine, H3196 and we will fill H5433 ourselves with strong drink; H7941 and to morrow H4279 shall be as this H2088 day, H3117 and much H3966 more H3499 abundant. H1419

Neither H3808 shall any H3605 priest H3548 drink H8354 wine, H3196 when they enter H935 into H413 the inner H6442 court. H2691

And be not drunk G3182 with wine, G3631 wherein G1722 G3757 is excess; G810 but be filled G4137 with the Spirit; G4151

Not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not greedy G866 of filthy lucre; G866 but patient, G1933 not a brawler, G269 not covetous; G866

And the servant G1401 of the Lord G2962 must G1163 not strive; G3164 but be gentle G2261 to all G3956 men, apt G1317 to teach, G1317 patient, G420

In meekness G4236 instructing G3811 those G3588 that oppose G475 themselves; if G3379 God G2316 peradventure G3379 will give G1325 them repentance G3341 to the acknowledging G1922 of the truth; G225

His watchmen H6822 are blind: H5787 they are all H3605 ignorant, H3808 H3045 they are all H3605 dumb H483 dogs, H3611 they cannot H3808 H3201 bark; H5024 sleeping, H1957 lying H7901 down, H7901 loving H157 to slumber. H5123

Yes, they are greedy H5794 H5315 dogs H3611 which can H3045 never H3808 have H3045 enough, H7654 and they are shepherds H7462 that cannot H3808 H3045 understand: H995 they all H3605 look H6437 to their own way, H1870 every H376 one H376 for his gain, H1214 from his quarter. H7098

Not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not greedy G866 of filthy lucre; G866 but patient, G1933 not a brawler, G269 not covetous; G866

Likewise G5615 must the deacons G1249 be grave, G4586 not double-tongued, G1351 not given G4337 to much G4183 wine, G3631 not greedy G146 of filthy lucre; G146

Feed G4165 the flock G4168 of God G2316 which is among G1722 you, taking the oversight G1983 thereof, not by constraint, G317 but willingly; G1596 not for filthy G147 lucre, G147 but of a ready G4289 mind; G4290
