12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13 For those who have served well as deacons aobtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
The Great Mystery
14 These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly;
15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and1 ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy great is the1 mystery of god1liness:
aGod was manifested in the flesh,
bJustified in the Spirit,
cSeen by angels,
dPreached among the Gentiles,
eBelieved on in the world,
fReceived up in glory.
