King James Version
"(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)"
— 1 Timothy 3:5, King James Version
“(but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) ”
“(but if a man doesn't know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?)”
“But if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for the church of God?”
“But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?”
“(For if a man has not the art of ruling his house, how will he take care of the church of God?)”
“(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)”
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
