1 Timothy 3:6 in Context — 1 Timothy 3
4 Il faut qu’il dirige bien sa propre maison, et qu’il tienne ses enfants dans la soumission et dans une parfaite honnêteté;

7 Il faut aussi qu’il reçoive un bon témoignage de ceux du dehors, afin de ne pas tomber dans l’opprobre et dans les pièges du diable.
8 Les diacres aussi doivent être honnêtes, éloignés de la duplicité, des excès du vin, d’un gain sordide,
