3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; tit:1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 1ti:3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 1ti:5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 1ti:3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. tit:2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 1pe:1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1pe:4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 1ti:2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1ti:5:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. tit:1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 2ti:2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 3:2 (tw) 作監督的、必須無可指責、只作一個婦人的丈夫、有節制、自守、端正、樂意接待遠人、善於教導．3:2 (cn) 作监督的，必须无可指责，只作一个妇人的丈夫，有节制，自守，端正。乐意接待远人，善于教导。3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 3:14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 3:15 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. 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
