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

Lay G2007 hands G5495 suddenly G5030 on G2007 no G3367 man, G3367 neither G3366 be partaker G2841 of other G245 men's sins: G266 keep G5083 yourself G4572 pure. G53

Beloved, G27 believe G4100 not every G3956 spirit, G4151 but try G1381 the spirits G4151 whether G1487 they are of God: G2316 because G3754 many G4183 false G5578 prophets G5578 are gone G1831 out into G1519 the world. G2889

For they that have used G1247 the office G1247 of a deacon G1247 well G2573 purchase G4046 to themselves G1438 a good G2570 degree, G898 and great G4183 boldness G3954 in the faith G4102 which G3588 is in Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424

And in those G5025 days, G2250 when the number of the disciples G3101 was multiplied, G4129 there arose G1096 a murmuring G1112 of the Grecians G1675 against G4314 the Hebrews, G1445 because G3754 their widows G5503 were neglected G3865 in the daily G2522 ministration. G1248

Then G1161 the twelve G1427 called G4341 the multitude G4128 of the disciples G3101 to them, and said, G2036 It is not reason G701 that we should leave G2641 the word G3056 of God, G2316 and serve G1247 tables. G5132

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

Who G3739 shall also G2532 confirm G950 you to the end, G5056 that you may be blameless G410 in the day G2250 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

In the body G4983 of his flesh G4561 through G1223 death, G2288 to present G3936 you holy G40 and blameless G299 and unreproveable G410 in his sight: G2714

If G1487 any G1536 be blameless, G410 the husband G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 having G2192 faithful G4103 children G5043 not accused G1722 G2724 of riot G810 or G2228 unruly. G506

For a bishop G1985 must G1163 be blameless, G410 as the steward G3622 of God; G2316 not self-willed, G829 not soon G3711 angry, G3711 not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not given to filthy G150 lucre; G146
