Scío Scío de San Miguel New Testament (1797)
PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Fiel palabra: Si alguno desea Obispado, buena obra desea.
1 Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος· εἴ τις ἐπισκοπῆς ὀρέγεται, καλοῦ ἔργου ἐπιθυμεῖ.
2 Pues es necesario, que el Obispo sea irreprehensible, esposo de una sola muger, sóbrio, prudente, respetable, modesto, amador de la hospitalidad, propio para enseñar.
2 δεῖ οὖν τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνεπίληπτον εἶναι, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα, νηφάλιον, σώφρονα, κόσμιον, φιλόξενον, διδακτικόν,
3 No dado al vino, no violento, sino moderado, no rencilloso, no codicioso, mas
3 μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, μὴ αἰσχροκερδῆ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπιεικῆ, ἄμαχον, ἀφιλάργυρον,
4 Que sepa gobernar bien su casa: que tenga sus hijos en sujeción con toda honestidad.
4 τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου καλῶς προϊστάμενον, τέκνα ἔχοντα ἐν ὑποταγῇ μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος· —
5 Porque el que no sabe gobernar su casa, ¿cómo cuidará de la Iglesia de Dios?
5 εἰ δέ τις τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου προστῆναι οὐκ οἶδε, πῶς ἐκκλησίας Θεοῦ ἐπιμελήσεται; —
6 No sea neophito, porque hinchado de soberbia, no caiga en la condenación del diablo:
6 μὴ νεόφυτον, ἵνα μὴ τυφωθεὶς εἰς κρῖμα ἐμπέσῃ τοῦ διαβόλου.
7 Tambien es menester que tenga buen testimonio de aquellos, que son de fuera, porque no caiga en desprecio, y en lazo del diablo.
7 δεῖ δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ μαρτυρίαν καλὴν ἔχειν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔξωθεν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ καὶ παγίδα τοῦ διαβόλου.
8 Asimismo los Diáconos sean modestos, no dobles en palabras, no dados á mucho vino, ni sequaces de ganancias torpes:
8 Διακόνους ὡσαύτως σεμνούς, μὴ διλόγους, μὴ οἴνῳ πολλῷ προσέχοντας, μὴ αἰσχροκερδεῖς,
9 Que conserven el mysterio de la fé en conciencia pura.
9 ἔχοντας τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει.
10 Y estos sean antes probados: y así exerciten el ministerio, si son hallados irreprehensibles.
10 καὶ οὗτοι δὲ δοκιμαζέσθωσαν πρῶτον, εἶτα διακονείτωσαν ἀνέγκλητοι ὄντες.
11 Que las mugeres asímismo sean honestas, no maldicientes, sobrias, fieles en todo.
11 γυναῖκας ὡσαύτως σεμνάς, μὴ διαβόλους, νηφαλίους, πιστὰς ἐν πᾶσι.
12 Los Diáconos sean esposos de una sola muger: que gobiernen bien sus hijos, y sus casas.
12 διάκονοι ἔστωσαν μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρες, τέκνων καλῶς προϊστάμενοι καὶ τῶν ἰδίων οἴκων.
13 Porque los que hubieren exercitado bien su ministerio, se ganarán un buen grado, y mucha confianza en la fé, que es en Jesu-Christo.
13 οἱ γὰρ καλῶς διακονήσαντες βαθμὸν ἑαυτοῖς καλὸν περιποιοῦνται καὶ πολλὴν παρρησίαν ἐν πίστει τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
14 Estas cosas te escribo, esperando que en breve pasaré á verte.
14 Ταῦτά σοι γράφω ἐλπίζων ἐλθεῖν πρός σε τάχιον·
15 Y si tardáre, para que sepas cómo debes portarte en la casa de Dios, que es la Iglesia del Dios vivo, columna y apoyo de la verdad.
15 ἐὰν δὲ βραδύνω, ἵνα εἰδῇς πῶς δεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ ἀναστρέφεσθαι, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἐκκλησία Θεοῦ ζῶντος, στῦλος καὶ ἑδραίωμα τῆς ἀληθείας.
16◆ Y es grande á todas luces el sacramento de la piedad, en que Dios se ha manifestado en carne, ha sido justificado en espíritu, ha sido visto de los Angeles, ha sido predicado á los Gentiles, ha sido creido en el mundo, ha sido recibido en gloria.
16 καὶ ὁμολογουμένως μέγα ἐστὶ τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον· Θεὸς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί, ἐδικαιώθη ἐν Πνεύματι, ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις, ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ, ἀνελήφθη ἐν δόξῃ.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 3:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Timothy (Homily X)

    As now proceeding to discourse of the Episcopal office, he sets out with showing what sort of a person a Bishop ought to be. And here he does not do it as in the course of his exhortation to Timothy, but addresses all, and instructs others through him. And what says he?

  2. Quotes verse 3:15 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XI)

    For, since there are four zones of the world in which we live, and four principal winds, while the Church is scattered throughout all the world, and the "pillar and ground" of the Church is the Gospel and the spirit of life; it is fitting that she should have four pillars, breathing out immortality on every side, and vivifying men …

  3. Quotes verse 3:1 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIX, Chapters 18–21)

    It is to this the apostle refers when he says, "He that desireth the episcopate desireth a good work." He wished to show that the episcopate is the title of a work, not of an honor.

    … which make havoc of the whole world, had their entering in from pride:--for both the devil, not being such before, did thus become a devil; as indeed Paul plainly declared, saying, "Lest being lifted up with pride, he fall into the condemnation of the devil:" --and the first man, too, puffed up by the devil with these hopes, was made …
