Read uses your browser’s device speech, without a provider key. Studio creates media through a paid provider using your own key. INjeel cannot install voices or guarantee any accent, language, or Syriac voice. System settings and voices exposed to a browser can differ.
iPhone and iPad: In Settings → Accessibility, look for Read & Speak → Voices (called Spoken Content on older versions). Choose a language and dialect. For downloadable enhanced voices, Apple also documents VoiceOver → Speech → Add New Language; choose a voice/quality and allow the download to finish on Wi-Fi. You do not need to enable VoiceOver to use INjeel. Apple’s current guide · iOS/iPadOS voice downloads
Android: Open Settings → Accessibility → Text-to-speech output. Choose the preferred engine and language; use its voice-data/download options where available. Names and paths vary by manufacturer/engine; search Settings for “text-to-speech” if needed. Google’s settings and voice-data guide
macOS: Apple menu → System Settings → Accessibility → Read & Speak. Choose System voice; open its additional voice controls to browse languages, country/region variants and downloadable voices. Wait until downloads finish, then choose the voice. Older versions may use Spoken Content. Apple’s Mac voice guide
Return here and reopen the voice selector. If new voices do not appear, refresh or reopen the app/browser. Select the voice and adjust Speed here; a system default need not override an explicit app selection. Android browsers may use their speech engine rather than a forced voice. Some voices use network services; availability and pronunciation depend on your device/browser, not the scripture’s historical pronunciation.

The word is faithful, that if a man desires the eldership, he desires a good work.
܀
And an elder ought to be one in whom no blame is found, and the husband of one wife, one whose mind is awake, and modest and orderly in his habits, and a lover of strangers, and a teacher;
܀
and not one who goes beyond with wine, and whose hand does not run to strike, but he is humble, and not quarrelsome, and not a lover of silver;
܀
and one who leads his house well, and holds his children in subjection with all purity.
܀
For if he does not know how to lead his own house well, how can he lead the church of Elohim.
܀
And let him not be of recent discipleship, so that he will not be lifted up and fall into the judgment of Satana.
܀
And he should also have a good testimony from those outside, so that he does not fall into reproach and the snare of Satana.
܀
And the ministers also should likewise be pure, and not speak double, and not be inclined to much wine, and not love filthy gain;
܀
but hold the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
܀
And let these be tested first, and then let them minister, when they are without blame.
܀
So also the women should be modest, and their minds vigilant, and faithful in everything, and not be slanderers.
܀
Let the ministers be such as have one wife, and guide their children and their household well.
܀
For those who serve well as deacons acquire for themselves a good degree, and much boldness in the faith of Y'shua the Mashiyach.
܀
These things I write to you, while hoping I will soon come to you;
܀
but if I delay, that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of Elohim, which is the assembly of the living Elohim, the pillar and foundation of the truth,1
܀
and truly great is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in flesh, and justified in spirit, and seen by messengers, and proclaimed among the peoples, and believed on in the world, and received up in glory.
