3 Trustworthy pistos is the ho saying logos. If ei anyone tis aspires to oregō the office of overseer episkopē, he is desiring epithumeō a good kalos work ergon. 2 Therefore oun, it is necessary dei for an ho overseer episkopos to be eimi above reproach anepilēmptos: a man anēr of one heis woman gynē, clear-minded nēphalios, self-controlled sōphrōn, dignified kosmios, hospitable philoxenos, skilled in teaching didaktikos, 3 not mē a drunkard paroinos, not mē violent plēktēs but alla gracious epieikēs, not quarrelsome amachos, not a lover of money aphilargyros, 4 managing proistēmi · ho his own idios household oikos well kalōs, having echō submissive en children teknon with meta all pas dignity semnotēs 5 ( for de if ei someone tis does oida not ou know how oida to manage proistēmi · ho his idios own household oikos, how pōs will he care for epimeleomai the church ekklēsia of God theos?), 6 not mē a recent convert neophytos, lest hina mē having become conceited typhoō, he fall empiptō into eis the judgment krima of the ho devil diabolos. 7 And de it is also kai necessary dei for an overseer to have echō a good kalos reputation martyria with apo those ho outside exōthen, lest hina mē he fall empiptō into eis reproach oneidismos, · kai which is the snare pagis of the ho devil diabolos.

World English Bible
3 This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer[a] desires a good work. 2 The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching; 3 not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence; 5 (but how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule one’s own house take care of God’s assembly?) 6 not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
