The Scriptures 1998

1 Timothy 3:7-15 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. And he should even have a good witness from those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

8. Likewise attendants are to be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for filthy gain,

9. holding to the secret of the belief with a clean conscience.

10. And let these also be proved first, then let them serve, if they are unreprovable.

11. Wives in the same way: reverent, not false accusers, sober, trustworthy in every way.

12. Let attendants be the husbands of only one wife, ruling children and their own houses well.

13. For those who have served well as attendants gain good standing for themselves, and much boldness in the belief that is in Messiah יהושע.

14. I am writing you this, expecting to come to you shortly,

15. but if I delay, that you might know how you should behave in the House of Elohim, which is the assembly of the living Elohim – a strong support and foundation of the truth.
