1 Timothy 3:1-7 - Qualifications For Overseers
1 It is certain, if any one is desirous of the episcopal office, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, sober, prudent, grave, 3 hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of sordid gain, moderate, not quarrelsome, 4 not covetous, governing his own family well, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (for if any one know not how to govern his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 not one newly converted, least being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 He ought also to have an honorable testimony from those that are without, least he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
