3 He pono te korero, Ki te hiahia tetahi ki te mahi pihopa, e hiahia ana ia ki te mahi pai.
2 Na, ko te tikanga tenei, kia kaua te pihopa e ekengia e te kupu, he tahu no te wahine kotahi, kia ngawari, kia whai whakaaro, kia marama ana tikanga, kia atawhai ki nga manuhiri, kia whai ngakau ki te whakaako:
3 Kia kaua e kakai waina, kia kaua e patu; engari kia ngawari, kaua e totohe, kaua e matenui ki te moni;
4 Kai pai tana tohutohu i tona whare; e mea ana i ana tamariki kia ngohengohe ki a ia, kia nui te mahara:
5 Ki te kore hoki tetahi tangata e matau ki te tohutohu i tona whare ake, me pehea ka tiaki ai ia i te hahi a te Atua?
6 Kauaka i te tauhou, kei whakakake, a ka tau to te rewera he ki a ia.
7 A kia pai te korero mona a te hunga o waho; kei taka ia ki te whakahawea, ki roto hoki ki te mahanga a te rewera.
8 Waihoki ko nga rikona kia tu kaumatua, kaua e arero rua, kaua e matenui ki te waina, kaua e whai ki te taonga paruparu;
9 Kia ma o ratou hinengaro e mau ai ki te mea ngaro o te whakapono.
10 Na, kia matua whakamatautauria enei; katahi ka tuku ai kia mahi i a te rikona mahi, ki te kore he whakahe mo ratou.
11 Ko nga wahine hoki kia ahua kaumatua, kaua e ngautuara, kia whai mahara, kia pono i nga mea katoa.
12 Ko nga rikona, kia kotahi te hoa wahine; kia pai te tohutohu i a ratou tamariki, i o ratou whare ake ano hoki.
13 Ki te pai hoki ta ratou mahi rikona, ka whiwhi ratou ki te turanga pai mo ratou, ka nui hoki to ratou maia i runga i te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu.
14 He tuhituhi atu tenei naku i enei mea ki a koe, e mea ana hoki tera ahau e haere wawe atu ki a koe:
15 Ki te roa ia ahau, kia matau ai koe ki te tikanga mo tau mahi i roto i te whare o te Atua, ko te hahi nei ia a te Atua ora, ko te pou, ko te turanga o te pono.
16 Na, kahore rawa e tautohetia te nui o te mea ngaro e karakiatia nei: Ko ia i whakakitea mai i roto i te kikokiko, he mea whakatika na te Wairua, i kitea e nga anahera, i kauwhautia nei i roto i nga tauiwi, i whakaponohia nei i te ao, i tangohia atu ki te kororia.

Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons
3 Here is a trustworthy saying:(A) Whoever aspires to be an overseer(B) desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach,(C) faithful to his wife,(D) temperate,(E) self-controlled, respectable, hospitable,(F) able to teach,(G) 3 not given to drunkenness,(H) not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome,(I) not a lover of money.(J) 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect.(K) 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)(L) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited(M) and fall under the same judgment(N) as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders,(O) so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.(P)
8 In the same way, deacons[b](Q) are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine,(R) and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.(S) 10 They must first be tested;(T) and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
11 In the same way, the women[c] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers(U) but temperate(V) and trustworthy in everything.
12 A deacon must be faithful to his wife(W) and must manage his children and his household well.(X) 13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Reasons for Paul’s Instructions
14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church(Y) of the living God,(Z) the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16 Beyond all question, the mystery(AA) from which true godliness(AB) springs is great:
