1 Timotius 3:4-5

3:4 He must manage his own household well and keep his children in control without losing his dignity. ¹  3:5 But if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for the church of God?

1 Timotius 3:12

3:12 Deacons must be husbands of one wife ²  and good managers of their children and their own households.

1 Timotius 5:8

5:8 But if someone does not provide for his own, ³  especially his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

[3:4]  ¹ tn Grk “having children in submission with all dignity.” The last phrase, “keep his children in control without losing his dignity,” may refer to the children rather than the parent: “having children who are obedient and respectful.”

[3:12]  ² tn Or “men married only once,” “devoted solely to their wives” (see the note on “wife” in 1 Tim 3:2; also 1 Tim 5:9; Titus 1:6).

[5:8]  ³ tn That is, “his own relatives.”
