An elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.

For the overseer must be blameless as one entrusted with God's work, not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.

Instead he must be hospitable, devoted to what is good, sensible, upright, devout, and self-controlled.

He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught, so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching and correct those who speak against it.

who must be silenced because they mislead whole families by teaching for dishonest gain what ought not to be taught.

They must not slander anyone, but be peaceable, gentle, showing complete courtesy to all people.
