절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Church Officials It is true that anyone who desires to be a church official wants to be something worthwhile.	This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2	That's why officials must have a good reputation and be faithful in marriage. They must be self-controlled, sensible, well-behaved, friendly to strangers, and able to teach.	A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3	They must not be heavy drinkers or troublemakers. Instead, they must be kind and gentle and not love money.	Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4	Church officials must be in control of their own families, and they must see that their children are obedient and always respectful.	One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5	If they don't know how to control their own families, how can they look after God's people?	(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6	They must not be new followers of the Lord. If they are, they might become proud and be doomed along with the devil.	Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7	Finally, they must be well-respected by people who are not followers. Then they won't be trapped and disgraced by 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.
8	Church Officers Church officers should be serious. They must not be liars, heavy drinkers, or greedy for money.	Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9	And they must have a clear conscience and hold firmly to what God has shown us about our faith.	Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10	They must first prove themselves. Then if no one has anything against them, they can serve as officers.	And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11	Women must also be serious. They must not gossip or be heavy drinkers, and they must be faithful in everything they do.	Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12	Church officers must be faithful in marriage. They must be in full control of their children and everyone else in their home.	Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13	Those who serve well as officers will earn a good reputation and will be highly respected for their faith in Christ Jesus.	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.
14	The Mystery of Our Religion I hope to visit you soon. But I am writing these instructions,	These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
15	so if I am delayed, you will know how everyone who belongs to God's family ought to behave. After all, the church of the living God is the strong foundation of truth.	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.
16	Here is the great mystery of our religion: Christ came as a human. The Spirit proved that he pleased God, and he was seen by angels. Christ was preached to the nations. People in this world put their faith in him, and he was taken up to glory.	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.
