# 1 Timothy 03 General Notes

#### Structure and formatting

[1 Timothy 3:16](./16.md) was probably a song, poem, or creed the early church used to list important doctrines that believers all shared.

#### Special concepts in this chapter

##### Overseers and deacons
The church has used different titles for church leaders. Some titles include elder, pastor, and bishop. The word "overseer" reflects the meaning of the original language in verses 1-2. Paul writes about "deacons" in verses 8 and 12 as another kind of church leader.

#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter

##### Character qualities
This chapter lists several qualities that a man must have if he is to be an overseer or deacon in the church.  (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
