১ তীমথিযঃ 3
How true is this saying: ‘To aspire to be to be a supervisor in the church is to be ambitious for a noble task.’
2 ২ অতোঽধ্যক্ষেণানিন্দিতেনৈকস্যা যোষিতো ভৰ্ত্ৰা পৰিমিতভোগেন সংযতমনসা সভ্যেনাতিথিসেৱকেন শিক্ষণে নিপুণেন
The supervisor should be of blameless character; a faithful partner; living a temperate, discreet, and well-ordered life; hospitable, and a skillful teacher,
not addicted to drink or brawling, but of a forbearing and peaceable disposition, and not a lover of money;
they should provide for their own household well, and their children should kept under control and be well-behaved.
If someone does not know how to provide for their own household, how can they take charge of the church of God?
The supervisor should not be a recent convert, or they might become blinded by pride and fall under the same judgment as the devil.

They should also be well spoken of by outsiders, so that they may not incur censure and so fall into the devil’s trap.
So, too, assistants should be serious and straightforward, not given to taking much drink or to questionable money-making,
but people who hold the deep truths of the faith and have a clear conscience.
They should be tested first, and only appointed to their office if no objection is raised against them.
It should be the same with the women in this office. They should be serious, not gossips, sober, and trustworthy in all respects.
Assistants should be faithful partners who manage their children and their households well.

Those who have filled that post with honor gain for themselves an honorable position, as well as great confidence through the faith that they place in Christ Jesus.
I am writing this to you, though I hope that I will come to see you before long;

but in case I should be delayed, I want you to know what your conduct ought to be in the household of God, which is the church of the living God – the pillar and stay of the truth.

Yes, and undeniably wonderful are the deep truths of our religion; for – ‘He was revealed in our nature, pronounced righteous in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up into glory.’
