Philippians 1:1

Greeting

1 Paul and Timothy, servants ^{▼▼Or slaves (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)} of Christ Jesus,

To all the ^dsaints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the ^eoverseers ^{▼▼Or bishops; Greek episkopoi} and ^gdeacons: ^{▼▼Or servants, or ministers; Greek diakonoi}

1 Timothy 3:2-7

2 Therefore ⁱan overseer ^{▼▼Or bishop; Greek episkopos; a similar term occurs in verse 1} must be above reproach, ^kthe husband of one wife, ^{▼▼Or a man of one woman; also verse 12} ^msober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, ⁿhospitable, ^oable to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but ^pgentle, not quarrelsome, ^qnot a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity ^rkeeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for ^sGod’s church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may ^tbecome puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by ^uoutsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into ^va snare of the devil.

Titus 1:7

7 For an overseer, ^{▼▼Or bishop; Greek episkopos} ^xas God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not ^ybe arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent ^zor greedy for gain,

1 Peter 2:25

25 For ^aayou were straying like sheep, but have now returned to ^abthe Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
