Rotherham(i)
1 If anyone, for oversight, is eager, a noble work, doth he covet:––
2 It is needful, then, for, the overseer, to be irreproachable, a husband, of one wife, sober, of sound mind, orderly, hospitable, apt in teaching,
3 Not given to wine, not ready to wound, but considerate, averse to contention, not fond of money,
4 Over his own house, presiding, well, having, children, in submission, with all dignity;
5 Whereas, if anyone, over his own house, cannot, preside, how, of an assembly of God, shall he take care?
6 Not a new convert, lest, being beclouded, into the sentence of the adversary, he fall;
7 It is needful, moreover, to have, an honourable testimony also, from them who are without, lest, into reproach, he fall, and the snare of the adversary.
8 Ministers, in the same way,––dignified, not double–tongued, not, to much wine, given, not greedy of base gain, 9 Holding the sacred secret of the faith in a pure conscience; 10 But let, these also, be proved first, then, let them be ministering, being, unaccusable: 11 Wives, in the same way,––dignified, not given to intrigue, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let, ministers, be husbands of, one wife, over children, presiding, well, and over their own houses; 13 For, they who have ministered well, a good degree for themselves, are acquiring, and great freedom of speech in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
