  (1 Timothy 3:1-16) This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.   A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;   Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;   One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;   (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.   Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.   Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;   Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.   And let these also first be proved; then let th...

  (1 Timothy 2:1-15) Iexhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;   For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.   For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.   For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man  Christ Jesus ;   Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.   Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in  Christ , and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.   I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.   In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or...

  (1 Timothy 1:1-20) Paul , an apostle of  Jesus Christ  by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord  Jesus Christ , which is our hope;   Unto  Timothy , my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and  Jesus Christ  our Lord.   As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into  Macedonia , that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,   Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:   From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;   Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.   But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;   Knowing this, that the law ...
