1 Timothy 3

1 If anyone, for oversight, is eager, a noble work, doth he covet: —

yadi ka"scid adhyak. sapadam aakaa"nk. sate tarhi sa uttama. m karmma lipsata iti satya. m|

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,

ato. adhyak. se. naaninditenaikasyaa yo. sito bhartraa parimitabhogena sa. myatamanasaa sabhyenaatithisevakena "sik. sa. ne nipu. nena

3 Not given to wine, not ready to wound, but considerate, averse to contention, not fond of money,

na madyapena na prahaarake. na kintu m. rdubhaavena nirvvivaadena nirlobhena

4 Over his own house, presiding, well, having, children, in submission, with all dignity;

svaparivaaraa. naam uttama"saasakena puur. naviniitatvaad va"syaanaa. m santaanaanaa. m niyantraa ca bhavitavya. m|

5 Whereas, if anyone, over his own house, cannot, preside, how, of an assembly of God, shall he take care?

yata aatmaparivaaraan "saasitu. m yo na "saknoti tene"svarasya samitestattvaavadhaara. na. m katha. m kaari. syate?

6 Not a new convert, lest, being beclouded, into the sentence of the adversary, he fall;

apara. m sa garvvito bhuutvaa yat "sayataana iva da. n.dayogyo na bhavet tadartha. m tena nava"si. sye. na na bhavitavya. m|

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.

yacca nindaayaa. m "sayataanasya jaale ca na patet tadartha. m tena bahi. hsthalokaanaamapi madhye sukhyaatiyuktena bhavitavya. m|

8 Ministers, in the same way, —dignified, not double-tongued, not, to much wine, given, not greedy of base gain,

tadvat paricaarakairapi viniitai rdvividhavaakyarahitai rbahumadyapaane. anaasaktai rnirlobhai"sca bhavitavya. m,

9 Holding the sacred secret of the faith in a pure conscience;

nirmmalasa. mvedena ca vi"svaasasya niguu. dhavaakya. m dhaativya nca|

10 But let, these also, be proved first, then, let them be ministering, being, unaccusable:

agre te. saa. m pariik. saa kriyataa. m tata. h param aninditaa bhuutvaa te paricaryyaa. m kurvvantu|

11 Wives, in the same way, —dignified, not given to intrigue, sober, faithful in all things.

apara. m yo. sidbhirapi viniitaabhiranapavaadikaabhi. h satarkaabhi. h sarvvatra vi"svaasyaabhi"sca bhavitavya. m|

12 Let, ministers, be husbands of, one wife, over children, presiding, well, and over their own houses;

paricaarakaa ekaikayo. sito bharttaaro bhaveyu. h, nijasantaanaanaa. m parijanaanaa nca su"saasana. m kuryyu"sca|

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.

yata. h saa paricaryyaa yai rbhadraruupe. na saadhyate te "sre. s.thapada. m praapnuvanti khrii. s.te yii"sau vi"svaasena mahotsukaa bhavanti ca|

14 These things, unto thee, I am writing, hoping to come [unto thee] shortly, —

tvaa. m pratyetatpatralekhanasamaye "siighra. m tvatsamiipagamanasya pratyaa"saa mama vidyate|

15 But, if I should tarry, that thou mayest know—how it behoveth, in a house of God, to behave oneself, —the which, is an assembly of a Living God, a pillar and basement of the truth; —

yadi vaa vilambeya tarhii"svarasya g. rhe. arthata. h satyadharmmasya stambhabhittimuulasvaruupaayaam amare"svarasya samitau tvayaa kiid. r"sa aacaara. h karttavyastat j naatu. m "sak. syate|

16 And, confessedly great, is the sacred secret of godliness, —Who was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, was made visible unto messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
