ΠΡΟΣ ΤΙΜΟΘΕΟΝ Α 3

Cap. 3

The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy 3

πιστὸς ὁ λόγος· εἴ τις ἐπισκοπῆς ὀρέγεται, καλοῦ ἔργου ἐπιθυμεῖ. 1

Fidelis sermo: si quis episcopatum desiderat, bonum opus desiderat. 1

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

δεῖ οὗν τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνεπίλημπτον εἶναι, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα, νηφάλιον, σώφρονα, κόσμιον, φιλόξενον, διδακτικόν, 2

Oportet ergo episcopum irreprehensibilem esse, unius uxoris virum, sobrium, prudentem, ornatum, pudicum, hospitalem, doctorem, 2

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 2

μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, ἀλλὰ ἐπιεικῆ, ἄμαχον, ἀφιλάργυρον, 3

non vinolentum, non percussorem, sed modestum: non litigiosum, non cupidum, sed 3

Not given to wine, no striker, not Cor I greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 3

τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου καλῶς προϊστάμενον, τέκνα ἔχοντα ἐν ὑποταγῇ μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος· 4

suæ domui bene præpositum: filios habentem subditos cum omni castitate. 4

One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 4

εἰ δέ τις τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου προστῆναι οὐκ οἶδεν, πῶς ἐκκλησίας θεοῦ ἐπιμελήσεται; 5

Si quis autem domui suæ præesse nescit, quomodo ecclesiæ Dei diligentiam habebit? 5

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

μὴ νεόφυτον, ἵνα μὴ τυφωθεὶς εἰς κρίμα ἐμπέσῃ τοῦ διαβόλου. 6

Non neophytum: ne in superbiam elatus, in judicium incidat diaboli. 6

Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 6

δεῖ δὲ καὶ μαρτυρίαν καλὴν ἔχειν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔξωθεν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ καὶ παγίδα τοῦ διαβόλου. 7

Oportet autem illum et testimonium habere bonum ab iis qui foris sunt, ut non in opprobrium incidat, et in laqueum diaboli. 7

Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 7

διακόνους ὡσαύτως σεμνούς, μὴ διλόγους, μὴ οἴνῳ πολλῶ προσέχοντας, μὴ αἰσχροκερδεῖς, 8

Diaconos similiter pudicos, non bilingues, non multo vino deditos, non turpe lucrum sectantes: 8

Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not Cor I greedy of filthy lucre; 8

ἔχοντας τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει. 9

habentes mysterium fidei in conscientia pura. 9

Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 9

καὶ οὖτοι δὲ δοκιμαζέσθωσαν πρῶτον, εἶτα διακονείτωσαν ἀνέγκλητοι ὄντες. 10

Et hi autem probentur primum: et sic ministrent, nullum crimen habentes. 10

And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 10

γυναῖκας ὡσαύτως σεμνάς, μὴ διαβόλους, νηφαλίους, πιστὰς ἐν πᾶσιν. 11

Mulieres similiter pudicas, non detrahentes, sobrias, fideles in omnibus. 11

Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 11

διάκονοι ἔστωσαν μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρες, τέκνων καλῶς προϊστάμενοι καὶ τῶν ἰδίων οἴκων· 12

Diaconi sint unius uxoris viri, qui filiis suis bene præsint, et suis domibus. 12

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 12

οἱ γὰρ καλῶς διακονήσαντες βαθμὸν ἑαυτοῖς καλὸν περιποιοῦνται καὶ πολλὴν παρρησίαν ἐν πίστει τῇ ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ. 13

Qui enim bene ministraverint, gradum bonum sibi acquirent, et multam fiduciam in fide, quæ est in Christo Jesu. 13

For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good deCor I gree, and Cor I great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 13

ταῦτά σοι γράφω, ἐλπίζων ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ ἐν τάχει· 14

Hæc tibi scribo, sperans me ad te venire cito: 14

These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 14

ἐὰν δὲ βραδύνω, ἵνα εἰδῇς πῶς δεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ θεοῦ ἀναστρέφεσθαι, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἐκκλησία θεοῦ ζῶντος, στῦλος καὶ ἑδραίωμα τῆς ἀληθείας. 15

si autem tardavero, ut scias quomodo oporteat te in domo Dei conversari, quæ est ecclesia Dei vivi, columna et firmamentum veritatis. 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. 15

καὶ ὁμολογουμένως μέγα ἐστὶν τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον· ὃς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί, ἐδικαιώθη ἐν πνεύματι, ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις, ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ, ἀνελήμφθη ἐν δόξῃ. 16

Et manifeste magnum est pietatis sacramentum, quod manifestatum est in carne, justificatum est in spiritu, apparuit angelis, prædicatum est gentibus, creditum est in mundo, assumptum est in gloria. 16

And without controversy Cor I 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. 16
