TSK · 1 Timothy 3:2

All their watchmen are blind, they are unaware. All of them are like mute dogs, unable to bark. They pant, lie down, and love to snooze.

Contribute to the needs of the saints, pursue hospitality.

And these also must be tested first and then let them serve as deacons if they are found blameless.

No widow should be put on the list unless she is at least sixty years old, was the wife of one husband,

An elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.

For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end.

Service, Suffering, and Judgment For the culmination of all things is near. So be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of prayer.

Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour.
