Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:6 and He must not be a new convert, so that he will not [behave stupidly and] become conceited [by appointment to this high office] and fall into the [same] condemnation incurred by the devil [for his arrogance and pride]. [Is 14:12-14]
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:7 And he must have a good reputation and be well thought of by those outside the church, so that he will not be discredited and fall into the devil's trap.
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:8 ¶ Deacons likewise must be men worthy of respect [honorable, financially ethical, of good character], not double-tongued [speakers of half-truths], not addicted to wine, not greedy for dishonest gain,
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:9 but upholding and fully understanding the mystery [that is, the true doctrine] of the [Christian] faith with a clear conscience [resulting from behavior consistent with spiritual maturity].
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:10 These men must first be tested; then if they are found to be blameless and beyond reproach [in their Christian lives], let them serve as deacons.
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:11 Women must likewise be worthy of respect, not malicious gossips, but self-controlled, [thoroughly] trustworthy in all things.
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:12 Deacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:13 For those who have served well as deacons gain a high standing [having a good reputation among the congregation], and great confidence in the faith which is [founded on and centered] in Christ Jesus.
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:14 ¶ I hope to come to you before long, but I am writing these instructions to you
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:15 in case I am delayed, so that you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Verse Info. Notes 1 Tim 3:16 And great, we confess, is the mystery [the hidden truth] of godliness:
He (Jesus Christ) who was revealed in human flesh,
Was justified and vindicated in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the nations,
Believed on in the world,
Taken up in glory.
