1 Timotius 3:12

3:12 Deacons must be husbands of one wife ¹  and good managers of their children and their own households.

Titus 1:6

1:6 An elder must be blameless, ²  the husband of one wife, ³  with faithful children ⁴  who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.

[3:12]  ¹ 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).

[1:6]  ² tn Grk “if anyone is blameless…” as a continuation of v. 5b, beginning to describe the elder’s character.

[1:6]  ³ tn Or “married only once,” “devoted solely to his wife.” See the note on “wife” in 1 Tim 3:2; also 1 Tim 3:12; 5:9.

[1:6]  ⁴ tn Or “believing children.” The phrase could be translated “believing children,” but the parallel with 1 Tim 3:4 (“keeping his children in control”) argues for the sense given in the translation.
