監督與執事的資格
3 「人若渴望做教會的監督，他是在愛慕尊貴的工作。」這句話千真萬確。 2 作監督的人必須無可指責，只有一位妻子，為人節制自律、通情達理、受人尊敬、樂於接待客旅、善於教導， 3 不酗酒、不好鬥、要溫和、不爭吵、不貪財， 4 善於管理自己的家，受兒女的敬重和孝順。 5 一個人要是不懂得管理自己的家，又怎能照顧上帝的教會呢？ 6 初信主的人不可作監督，免得他自高自大，遭受魔鬼所受的懲罰。 7 作監督的在教會以外也必須有好名聲，以免被人指責，陷入魔鬼的圈套。
8 同樣，做執事的也要品行端正，說話誠實，不好酒，不貪財， 9 要存著清潔的良心持守奧妙的真道。 10 他們要先接受考驗，倘若無可指責，就可以立他們為執事。 11 執事的妻子[a]也要品行端正，不搬弄是非，為人節制，做事忠心。 12 執事只能有一位妻子，他要管好自己的兒女和自己的家。 13 盡忠職守的執事能得到好聲譽，也會對基督耶穌有堅定的信心。
奧妙無比的信仰
14 我希望能儘快去你那裡，但還是寫信告訴你這些事。 15 這樣，如果我行期延誤，你也可以知道在上帝的家中該怎麼做。這家是永活上帝的教會，是真理的柱石和根基。 16 毫無疑問，我們偉大的信仰奧妙無比：
祂以肉身顯現，
被聖靈證明為義，
被天使看見，
被傳揚到列邦，
被世人信奉，
被接到天上的榮耀中。

Supervisors in God’s household
3 This saying is reliable: if anyone has a goal to be a supervisor[a] in the church, they want a good thing. 2 So the church’s supervisor must be without fault. They should be faithful to their spouse, sober, modest, and honest. They should show hospitality and be skilled at teaching. 3 They shouldn’t be addicted to alcohol or be a bully. Instead, they should be gentle, peaceable, and not greedy. 4 They should manage their own household well—they should see that their children are obedient with complete respect, 5 because if they don’t know how to manage their own household, how can they take care of God’s church? 6 They shouldn’t be new believers so that they won’t become proud and fall under the devil’s spell. 7 They should also have a good reputation with those outside the church so that they won’t be embarrassed and fall into the devil’s trap.
Servants in God’s household
8 In the same way, servants[b] in the church should be dignified, not two-faced, heavy drinkers, or greedy for money. 9 They should hold on to the faith that has been revealed with a clear conscience. 10 They should also be tested and then serve if they are without fault. 11 In the same way, women who are servants[c] in the church should be dignified and not gossip. They should be sober and faithful in everything they do. 12 Servants[d] must be faithful to their spouse and manage their children and their own households well. 13 Those who have served well gain a good standing and considerable confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
Leading God’s household
14 I hope to come to you quickly. But I’m writing these things to you so that 15 if I’m delayed, you’ll know how you should behave in God’s household. It is the church of the living God and the backbone and support of the truth. 16 Without question, the mystery of godliness is great: he was revealed as a human, declared righteous by the Spirit, seen by angels, preached throughout the nations, believed in around the world, and taken up in glory.

Requisitos para los obispos
3 Palabra fiel es esta(A): Si alguno aspira al cargo de obispo[a](B), buena obra desea hacer. 2 Un[b] obispo(C) debe ser, pues, irreprochable, marido de una sola mujer(D), sobrio(E), prudente, de conducta decorosa, hospitalario(F), apto para enseñar(G), 3 no dado a la bebida[c](H), no pendenciero, sino amable, no contencioso, no avaricioso(I). 4 Que gobierne bien su casa(J), teniendo a sus hijos sujetos con toda dignidad 5 (pues si un hombre no sabe cómo gobernar su propia casa, ¿cómo podrá cuidar de la iglesia de Dios(K)?); 6 no un recién convertido, no sea que se envanezca(L) y caiga en la condenación en que cayó el[d] diablo(M). 7 Debe gozar también de[e] una buena reputación(N) entre los de afuera de la iglesia(O), para que no caiga en descrédito y en el lazo del diablo(P).
Requisitos para los diáconos
8 De la misma manera, también los diáconos(Q) deben ser dignos, de una sola palabra[f], no dados al mucho vino(R), ni amantes de ganancias deshonestas(S), 9 sino guardando el misterio de la fe(T) con limpia conciencia. 10 Que también estos sean sometidos a prueba primero(U), y si son irreprensibles, que entonces sirvan como diáconos. 11 De igual manera, las mujeres[g] deben ser dignas, no calumniadoras(V), sino sobrias(W), fieles en todo. 12 Que los diáconos(X) sean maridos(Y) de una sola mujer, y que gobiernen bien[h](Z) sus hijos y sus propias casas. 13 Pues los que han servido bien como diáconos(AA) obtienen para sí una posición honrosa[i] y gran confianza en la fe que es en Cristo Jesús.
El misterio de la piedad
14 Te escribo estas cosas, esperando ir a ti pronto, 15 pero en caso que me tarde[j], te escribo para que sepas cómo debe conducirse uno[k] en la casa de Dios(AB), que es la iglesia(AC) del Dios vivo(AD), columna(AE) y sostén de la verdad. 16 E indiscutiblemente[l], grande es el misterio(AF) de la piedad:
Él[m] fue manifestado en la carne(AG),
vindicado[n](AH) en[o] el Espíritu,
contemplado por ángeles(AI),
proclamado entre las naciones(AJ),
creído en el mundo(AK),
recibido arriba en gloria(AL).

Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons
3 Here is a trustworthy saying:(A) Whoever aspires to be an overseer(B) desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach,(C) faithful to his wife,(D) temperate,(E) self-controlled, respectable, hospitable,(F) able to teach,(G) 3 not given to drunkenness,(H) not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome,(I) not a lover of money.(J) 4 He 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) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited(M) and fall under the same judgment(N) as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders,(O) so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.(P)
8 In the same way, deacons[b](Q) are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine,(R) and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.(S) 10 They must first be tested;(T) and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
11 In the same way, the women[c] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers(U) but temperate(V) and trustworthy in everything.
12 A deacon must be faithful to his wife(W) and must manage his children and his household well.(X) 13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Reasons for Paul’s Instructions
14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15 if 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. 16 Beyond all question, the mystery(AA) from which true godliness(AB) springs is great:
