3:1

Fidelis sermo : si quis episcopatum desiderat, bonum opus desiderat.

「人若想要得監督的職分，就是羨慕善工。」這話是可信的。

This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.

3:2

Oportet ergo episcopum irreprehensibilem esse, unius uxoris virum, sobrium, prudentem, ornatum, pudicum, hospitalem, doctorem,

作監督的，必須無可指責，只作一個婦人的丈夫，有節制，自守，端正，樂意接待遠人，善於教導；

The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;

3:3

non vinolentum, non percussorem, sed modestum : non litigiosum, non cupidum, sed

不因酒滋事，不打人，只要溫和，不爭競，不貪財；

not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

3:4

suae domui bene praepositum : filios habentem subditos cum omni castitate.

好好管理自己的家，使兒女凡事端莊順服。

one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;

3:5

Si quis autem domui suae praeesse nescit, quomodo ecclesiae Dei diligentiam habebit ?

人若不知道管理自己的家，焉能照管上帝的教會呢？

(for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)

3:6

Non neophytum : ne in superbiam elatus, in judicium incidat diaboli.

初入教的不可作監督，恐怕他自高自大，就落在魔鬼所受的刑罰裏。

not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

3:7

Oportet autem illum et testimonium habere bonum ab iis qui foris sunt, ut non in opprobrium incidat, et in laqueum diaboli.

監督也必須在教外有好名聲，恐怕被人毀謗，落在魔鬼的網羅裏。

Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

3:8

Diaconos similiter pudicos, non bilingues, non multo vino deditos, non turpe lucrum sectantes :

作執事的，也是如此：必須端莊，不一口兩舌，不好喝酒，不貪不義之財；

Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,

3:9

habentes mysterium fidei in conscientia pura.

要存清潔的良心，固守真道的奧祕。

holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
