1 People taak true wen dey say, ef a man set e mind fa be a choch leada, dat a good ting dat e wahn fa do. 2 Now den, a choch leada mus lib so dat nobody ain got no good reason fa fault um. E mus hab jes one wife. E mus be a serious poson an able fa trol esef. An e mus mind e mannas so dat people gwine look op ta um. E mus open e house ta scranja an gim haaty welcome, an e mus know how fa teach fa true. 3 E mus dohn be no dronka, an e mus dohn git bex too quick, da do people haam. Steada dat, e mus treat people kindly. E mus dohn like fa aagy. An e mus dohn lob money. 4 E mus see dat ebryting go well een e own house. E mus mek e chullun do wa e tell um fa do, an dey mus look op ta um een all ting. 5 Cause ef a man ain able fa mek ebryting go well een e own house, fa sho e ain gwine be able fa tek cyah ob God choch, ainty? 6 E mus dohn be a man wa jes come fa know Christ, cause den e might git de big head, an cause ob dat, God gwine jedge dat man, jes like e done jedge de Debil. 7 Den too, a choch leada mus be a man dat cyaa esef good, so dat people wa ain Christian taak good bout um. Ef e ain know how fa cyaa esef, dey gwine taak bad bout um. Den e gwine be too shame an faddown eenta de trap wa de Debil set fa um.

8 Same way so de deacon wa da hep fa do God wok een de choch. E mus be a serious man dat people kin look op ta, an e mus mean wa e say fa true. E mus dohn be no dronka, an e mus dohn hab de big eye, da wahn fa git heapa ting fa esef. 9 E mus bleebe de true ting dem ob de Christian fait, wa nobody ain know til God show um. An e mus dohn doubt een e haat dat wa e bleebe right. 10 Dem wa wahn fa be choch deacon haffa pass de test fus. Den, ef dey pass de test so dat nobody ain got no reason fa fault um, leh um saab as deacon een de choch. 11 Same way dey ooman. Dey mus be serious ooman dat people kin look op ta, an dey mus dohn onrabble dey mout, da say bad ting bout people. Dey mus be able fa trol deysef an do wa dey spose fa do all de time. 12 De man wa da saab as deacon mus hab jes one wife, an e mus see dat e chullun an all de oda people een e house da do de right ting. 13 Ef de deacon dem do dey wok good, den de people een de choch gwine hona um fa true an dey gwine be able fa taak wid tority bout dey fait een Jedus Christ.

God fambly, e de choch, wa blongst ta God wa got ebalastin life. An God choch, e de pilla an foundation ob de trute. 16 De true ting dem ob we fait, wa nobody ain know til God show um, dey great fa sho, an nobody kin spute um.
