Tua Palavra

|1 Timóteo 3:1| This is a true saying: If a man desire the office of bishop, he desireth a good work.

|1 Timóteo 3:2| A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt at teaching;

|1 Timóteo 3:3| not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for filthy lucre, but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

|1 Timóteo 3:4| one who ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all dignity.

|1 Timóteo 3:5| (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

|1 Timóteo 3:6| He must not be a novice in the faith, lest being lifted up with pride, he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

|1 Timóteo 3:7| Moreover he must have a good reputation with those who are outsiders, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

|1 Timóteo 3:8| Likewise must the deacons be serious, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for filthy lucre,

|1 Timóteo 3:9| holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

|1 Timóteo 3:10| And let these also first be proved; then, being found blameless, let them make use of the office of a deacon.
