    1 Timothy 3
    • 1   This [is] a true saying, If a man desireth the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
    • 2   A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
    • 3   Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, but patient; not a brawler, not covetous;
    • 4   One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
    • 5   (For if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
    • 6   Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
    • 7   Moreover, he must have a good report of them who are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
    • 8   Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre,
    • 9   Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
    • 10   And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being [found] blameless.
    • 11   Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
    • 12   Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children, and their own houses well.
    • 13   For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.
    • 14   These things I write to thee, hoping to come to thee shortly:
    • 15   But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
    • 16   And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
