1 Timothy 3:10

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And let these also first be tried; then let them perform the office of footman, being blameless.

See the chapter Copy

Who also shall make you firm even to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In the body of his flesh by death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreproachable before him:

For they having served well, acquire to themselves a good step, and much freedom of speech in the faith which in Christ Jesus.

Therefore an overseer must be irreprehensible, husband of one wife, sober, of sound mind, well arranged, hospitable, giving instruction;

Not newly planted, lest rendered proud he fall into condemnation of the accuser.

Put hands swiftly upon none, nor participate in others' sins: keep thyself pure.

Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they are of God: for many false prophets have come out into the world.
