³Ez mahatsarnoari emana, ez vkaldicari, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso, baina benigno, ez reuoltari, ez auaritioso:

³not given to excesses from wine, not a striker, but mild, not addicted to contention, not fond of money,

⁴Bere familia honestqui gobernatzen duelaric, bere haourrac suiectionetan eduquiten dituelaric honestate gucirequin:

⁶not a novice, that he may not, being inflated, fall into [the] fault of the devil.

⁷Behar dic are harc duen testimoniage ona campocoetaric-ere: reprotchutara eta deabruen laçora eror eztadinçát.

⁷But it is necessary that he should have also a good testimony from those without, that he may fall not into reproach and [the] snare of the devil.

⁸Diacréc halaber behar die içan honest, ez bi hitzetaco, ez mahatsarno anhitzari emanac, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso:

⁸Ministers, in like manner, grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not seeking gain by base means,

⁹Eduquiten dutelaric fedearen mysterioa conscientia chahurequin.

⁹holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

¹⁰Eta hec-ere phoroga ditecen lehen, guero cerbitza deçaten, baldin reprotchu gabetaco badirade.

¹¹Halaber hayén emazteac diraden honest, ez gaitzerraile, baina sobre, leyal gauça gucietan.

¹¹[The] women in like manner grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

¹²Diacreac diraden emazte bederaren senhar, gobernatzen dituztelaric honestqui bere haourrac eta bere etcheac.

¹³Ecen vngui cerbitzatu duqueitenéc grado ona acquisitzen dié beretzat, eta libertate handia Iesus Christ baithango fedean.

¹³for those who shall have ministered well obtain for themselves a good degree, and much boldness in faith which [is] in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴Gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiat, sperança dudalaric ecen sarri hiregana ethorriren naicela:

¹⁴These things I write to thee, hoping to come to thee more quickly;

¹⁵Eta baldin berancen badut, daquiançát nola behar den Iaincoaren etchean conuersatu, cein baita Iainco viciaren Eliçá, eguiaren habea eta sustenguä.

¹⁵but if I delay, in order that thou mayest know how one ought to conduct oneself in God's house, which is [the] assembly of [the] living God, [the] pillar and base of the truth.

¹⁶Eta duda gabe, handi duc pietatearen mysterioa: ecen Iaincoa manifestatu içan dela haraguian, iustificatu dela Spirituan, ikussi içan dela Aingueruèz, predicatu içan çayela Gentiley, sinhetsi içan dela munduan, goiti recebitu içan dela gloriara.

¹⁶And confessedly the mystery of piety is great. God has been manifested in flesh, has been justified in [the] Spirit, has appeared to angels, has been preached among [the] nations, has been believed on in [the] world, has been received up in glory.
