Leviticus 21:18

Woe to you blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound.

Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?

It is necessary therefore that a bishop should be blameless, a husband of one wife, circumspect, sober, well-behaved, hospitable, apt to teach,

And he must also have a good name from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

For a bishop must be blameless as a steward of God, not self-indulgent, not soon angry, not given to wine, not contentious, not devoted to base gain,

For there are many disorderly wranglers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
