Voraussetzungen für den Dienst der Aufseher (Ältesten) in der Gemeinde

3 Glaubwürdig ist das Wort: Wer nach einem Aufseherdienst^[a] trachtet, der begehrt eine vortreffliche Tätigkeit.

²Nun muss aber ein Aufseher untadelig^[b] sein, Mann einer Frau, nüchtern, besonnen, anständig, gastfreundlich, fähig zu lehren;

³nicht der Trunkenheit ergeben, nicht gewalttätig, nicht nach schändlichem Gewinn strebend, sondern gütig, nicht streitsüchtig, nicht geldgierig;

⁴einer, der seinem eigenen Haus gut vorsteht und die Kinder in Unterordnung hält mit aller Ehrbarkeit

⁵— wenn aber jemand seinem eigenen Haus nicht vorzustehen weiß, wie wird er für die Gemeinde Gottes sorgen? —,

⁶kein Neubekehrter, damit er nicht aufgeblasen wird und in das Gericht des Teufels^[c] fällt.

⁷Er muss aber auch ein gutes Zeugnis haben von denen außerhalb [der Gemeinde], damit er nicht in üble Nachrede und in die Fallstricke des Teufels gerät.

Voraussetzung für den Dienst der Diakone

⁸Gleicherweise sollen auch die Diakone^[d] ehrbar sein, nicht doppelzüngig, nicht vielem Weingenuss ergeben, nicht nach schändlichem Gewinn strebend;

⁹sie sollen das Geheimnis des Glaubens in einem reinen Gewissen bewahren.

¹⁰Und diese sollen zuerst erprobt werden; dann sollen sie dienen, wenn sie untadelig sind.

¹¹[Die] Frauen sollen ebenfalls ehrbar sein, nicht verleumderisch, sondern nüchtern, treu in allem.

¹²Die Diakone sollen jeder Mann einer Frau sein, ihren Kindern und ihrem Haus gut vorstehen;

¹³denn wenn sie ihren Dienst gut versehen, erwerben sie sich selbst eine gute Stufe und viel Freimütigkeit im Glauben in Christus Jesus.

Der Wandel im Haus Gottes und das Geheimnis der Gottesfurcht

¹⁴Dies schreibe ich dir in der Hoffnung, recht bald zu dir zu kommen,

¹⁵damit du aber, falls sich mein Kommen verzögern sollte, weißt, wie man wandeln soll im Haus Gottes, welches die Gemeinde des lebendigen Gottes ist, der Pfeiler und die Grundfeste der Wahrheit.

¹⁶Und anerkannt groß ist das Geheimnis der Gottesfurcht^[e]: Gott ist geoffenbart worden^[f] im Fleisch, gerechtfertigt im Geist, gesehen von den Engeln^[g], verkündigt unter den Heiden, geglaubt in der Welt, aufgenommen in die Herrlichkeit.

Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons

3 Here is a trustworthy saying:^(A) Whoever aspires to be an overseer^(B) desires a noble task. ²Now the overseer is to be above reproach,^(C) faithful to his wife,^(D) temperate,^(E) self-controlled, respectable, hospitable,^(F) able to teach,^(G) ³not given to drunkenness,^(H) not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome,^(I) not a lover of money.^(J) ⁴He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full^[a] respect.^(K) ⁵(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)^(L) ⁶He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited^(M) and fall under the same judgment^(N) as the devil. ⁷He must also have a good reputation with outsiders,^(O) so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.^(P)

⁸In the same way, deacons^[b]^(Q) are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine,^(R) and not pursuing dishonest gain. ⁹They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.^(S) ¹⁰They must first be tested;^(T) and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.

¹¹In the same way, the women^[c] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers^(U) but temperate^(V) and trustworthy in everything.

¹²A deacon must be faithful to his wife^(W) and must manage his children and his household well.^(X) ¹³Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

Reasons for Paul’s Instructions

¹⁴Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, ¹⁵if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church^(Y) of the living God,^(Z) the pillar and foundation of the truth. ¹⁶Beyond all question, the mystery^(AA) from which true godliness^(AB) springs is great:

He appeared in the flesh,^(AC)
    was vindicated by the Spirit,^[d]
was seen by angels,
    was preached among the nations,^(AD)
was believed on in the world,
    was taken up in glory.^(AE)

Qualifications of Overseers

3 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a ^[a]bishop, he desires a good work. ²A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; ³not ^[b]given to wine, not violent, ^[c]not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not ^[d]covetous; ⁴one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence ⁵(for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); ⁶not a ^[e]novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. ⁷Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the ^(A)snare of the devil.

Qualifications of Deacons

⁸Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, ^(B)not given to much wine, not greedy for money, ⁹holding the ^[f]mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. ¹⁰But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless. ¹¹Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not ^[g]slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. ¹²Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. ¹³For those who have served well as deacons ^(C)obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

The Great Mystery

¹⁴These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; ¹⁵but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ^[h]ground of the truth. ¹⁶And without controversy great is the ^[i]mystery of godliness:

^(D)God^[j] was manifested in the flesh,
^(E)Justified in the Spirit,
^(F)Seen by angels,
^(G)Preached among the Gentiles,
^(H)Believed on in the world,
^(I)Received up in glory.
