Leviticus 21:18

"Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whosoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!'

Ye blind! for which is greater??he gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

It is needful, therefore, that the bishop be irreproachable, a husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, hospitable, apt to teach,

And it is needful also that he have an honorable testimony from those without, lest he fall into reproach and a snare of the Devil.

For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain;

For there are many unruly men, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
