3 Dit es en woaret Wuat: wan irjent waea en Jemeente Leida wel senne, straeft hee no en goodet Woakj.
2 Aulso saul en Eltesta soona senne daem nusscht faea to schmiete jeit, saul mau eene Fru ha, saul nichta senne, schekjlich, eaboa, oppnaement, en saul aundre unjarechte kjenne,
3 nich en Supa, nich eena dee schleit, de sikj leewa jescheit fehelt, nich opp striede hoole, en nich jietsich,
4 eena dee sien eajent Hus enn Ordninj helt, Kjinja dee unjadon sent, en Respakjt ha;
5 dan wan eena nich weet sien eajnet Hus enn Ordninj to hoole, woo saul hee fa Gott siene Jemeent sorje?
6 He saul nich en Niebekjeada senne, daut hee nich meteemol stolt woat en enn daem Diewel sien Jerecht felt.
7 Hee mott en goodet Zeichnes ha fonn daen dee bute de Jemeent sent, daut am nich fe-acht woat en hee enn daem Diewel siene Faul felt.
8 Jrod soo motte dee Diakoone schekjlich senne, nich met dobbelde Tunje raede, nich Wiensupa senne, nich jietsich.
9 See motte daut Jeheemnes fom Gloowe enn en reinet Jewesse hoole.
10 En daen saul eascht oppe Proow jestalt woare; dan lot an deene wan see oone Faele jefunje sent.
11 Jrod soo sele aeare Fruehes schekjlich senne, nich soone dee pludre, eaboa, en true sent enn aules.
12 Dee Diakoone sele bloos eene Fru ha, dee aeare eajna Hiesa en Kjina enn gooda Ordninj ha.
13 Dan dee Diakone dee goot deene, moake fa sikj selfst ne goode Staed, en kjenne seeha Driest senne em Gloowe enn Christus Jesus.
14 Ekj schriew dit nu, wan ekj uk hop em korte no die to kome,
15 oba wan sikj daut lang fetrakjt, daut du weete muchst woo eena sikj enn Gott sien Hus fehoole sull, dan daut es daem laewendje Gott siene Jemeent, dee Grunt en Stenda fa de Woarheit.

Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons
3 Here is a trustworthy saying:(A) Whoever aspires to be an overseer(B) desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach,(C) faithful to his wife,(D) temperate,(E) self-controlled, respectable, hospitable,(F) able to teach,(G) 3 not given to drunkenness,(H) not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome,(I) not a lover of money.(J) 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect.(K) 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)(L) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited(M) and fall under the same judgment(N) as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders,(O) so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.(P)
8 In the same way, deacons[b](Q) are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine,(R) and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.(S) 10 They must first be tested;(T) and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
11 In the same way, the women[c] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers(U) but temperate(V) and trustworthy in everything.
12 A deacon must be faithful to his wife(W) and must manage his children and his household well.(X) 13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Reasons for Paul’s Instructions
14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church(Y) of the living God,(Z) the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16 Beyond all question, the mystery(AA) from which true godliness(AB) springs is great:
