This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.

This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those believing in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

An overseer then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober- minded, well ordered, hospitable, able to teach;

one who rules his own house well, having his children in subjection with all respect

not a new convert, that he not be puffed up with pride and fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let his dwelling place become desolate, and let him not live in it; and, Let another take his office.

Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and ministers:

For an overseer must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not prone to anger, not given to wine, not quarrelsome, not greedy for money,

For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

watching carefully that no one fall short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and through this many become defiled;

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a meddler in other people's matters.

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not eager for dishonest gain but with a ready mind;

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he who leads souls is wise.

Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ,

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, uphold the weak, be longsuffering towards all.

Brethren, if anyone among you goes astray from the truth, and someone turns him back,

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and conceal a multitude of sins.
