1 This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.
1 PALABRA fiel: Si alguno apetece obispado, buena obra desea.
1 This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.
2 An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
2 Conviene, pues, que el obispo sea irreprensible, marido de una mujer, solícito, templado, compuesto, hospedador, apto para enseñar;
2 The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
3 not dependent on wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
3 No amador del vino, no heridor, no codicioso de torpes ganancias, sino moderado, no litigioso, ajeno de avaricia;
3 not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
4 An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
4 Que gobierne bien su casa, que tenga sus hijos en sujeción con toda honestidad;
4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
5 For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
5 (Porque el que no sabe gobernar su casa, ¿cómo cuidará de la iglesia de Dios?)
5 (for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)
6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
6 No un neófito, porque inflándose no caiga en juicio del diablo.
6 not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
7 Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.
7 También conviene que tenga buen testimonio de los extraños, porque no caiga en afrenta y en lazo del diablo.
7 Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.
8 Los diáconos asimismo, [deben ser] honestos, no bilingües, no dados á mucho vino, no amadores de torpes ganancias;
8 Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,
9 They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
9 Que tengan el misterio de la fe con limpia conciencia.
9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
10 Y éstos también sean antes probados; y así ministren, si fueren sin crimen.
10 Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
11 In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
11 Las mujeres asimismo, honestas, no detractoras, templadas, fieles en todo.
11 Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.
12 A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.
12 Los diáconos sean maridos de una mujer, que gobiernen bien sus hijos y sus casas.
12 Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13 For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
13 Porque los que bien ministraren, ganan para sí buen grado, y mucha confianza en la fe que es en Cristo Jesús.
13 For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things
14 Esto te escribo con esperanza que iré presto á ti:
14 These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly,
15 in case I am delayed, so that you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
15 Y si no fuere tan presto, para que sepas cómo te conviene conversar en la casa de Dios, que es la iglesia del Dios vivo, columna y apoyo de la verdad.
15 but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16◆ By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: God appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.
16 Y sin contradicción, grande es el misterio de la piedad: Dios ha sido manifestado en carne; ha sido justificado con el Espíritu; ha sido visto de los ángeles; ha sido predicado á los Gentiles; ha sido creído en el mundo; ha sido recibido en gloria.
16 Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

¿Por qué mi Biblia dice algo distinto?
- 1 Timoteo 3:16: ¿«Dios fue manifestado» o «Él, que fue manifestado»?
El texto bizantino, seguido por el Texto Patriarcal y la Reina-Valera, dice «Dios ha sido manifestado en carne». Los manuscritos más antiguos dicen «el cual fue manifestado», y el latín dice «lo cual fue manifestado». En los antiguos manuscritos griegos, la abreviatura de «Dios» y la palabra «el cual» se veían casi iguales. En cualquier caso, el himno habla de Cristo encarnado.
Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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?

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 …
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 …
