1 Timoteo 3

La Biblia Reina-Valera (Español) RVR

1 PALABRA fiel: Si alguno apetece obispado, buena obra desea.

2 Conviene, pues, que el obispo sea irreprensible, marido de una mujer, solícito, templado, compuesto, hospedador, apto para enseñar;

3 No amador del vino, no heridor, no codicioso de torpes ganancias, sino moderado, no litigioso, ajeno de avaricia;

4 Que gobierne bien su casa, que tenga sus hijos en sujeción con toda honestidad;

5 (Porque el que no sabe gobernar su casa, ¿cómo cuidará de la iglesia de Dios?)

6 No un neófito, porque inflándose no caiga en juicio del diablo.

7 También conviene que tenga buen testimonio de los extraños, porque no caiga en afrenta y en lazo del diablo.

8 Los diáconos asimismo, deben ser honestos, no bilingües, no dados á mucho vino, no amadores de torpes ganancias;

9 Que tengan el misterio de la fe con limpia conciencia.

10 Y éstos también sean antes probados; y así ministren, si fueren sin crimen.

11 Las mujeres asimismo, honestas, no detractoras, templadas, fieles en todo.

12 Los diáconos sean maridos de una mujer, que gobiernen bien sus hijos y sus casas.

13 Porque los que bien ministraren, ganan para sí buen grado, y mucha confianza en la fe que es en Cristo Jesús.

14 Esto te escribo con esperanza que iré presto á ti:

15 Y si no fuere tan presto, para que sepas cómo te conviene conversar en la casa de Dios, que es la iglesia del Dios vivo, columna y apoyo de la verdad.

16 Y sin cotradicción, grande es el misterio de la piedad: Dios ha sido manifestado en carne; ha sido justificado con el Espíritu; ha sido visto de los ángeles; ha sido predicado á los Gentiles; ha sido creído en el mundo; ha sido recibido en gloria.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 This is a statement that can be trusted: If anyone sets his heart on being a bishop, he desires something excellent.

2 A bishop must have a good reputation. He must have only one wife, be sober, use good judgment, be respectable, be hospitable, and be able to teach.

3 He must not drink excessively or be a violent person, but he must be gentle. He must not be quarrelsome or love money.

4 He must manage his own family well. His children should respectfully obey him.

5 (If a man doesn't know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)

6 He must not be a new Christian, or he might become arrogant like the devil and be condemned.

7 People who are not Christians must speak well of him, or he might become the victim of disgraceful insults that the devil sets as traps for him.

8 Deacons must also be of good character. They must not be two-faced or addicted to alcohol. They must not use shameful ways to make money.

9 They must have clear consciences about possessing the mystery of the Christian faith.

10 First, a person must be evaluated. Then, if he has a good reputation, he may become a deacon.

11 Their wives must also be of good character. They must not be gossips, but they must control their tempers and be trustworthy in every way.

12 A deacon must have only one wife. Deacons must manage their children and their families well.

13 Those deacons who serve well gain an excellent reputation and will have confidence as a result of their faith in Christ Jesus.

14 I hope to visit you soon. However, I'm writing this to you

15 in case I'm delayed. I want you to know how people who are members of God's family must live. God's family is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

16 The mystery that gives us our reverence for God is acknowledged to be great: He appeared in his human nature, was approved by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was announced throughout the nations, was believed in the world, and was taken to heaven in glory.
