For it is necessary [for] the overseer to be blameless as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain,

but hospitable, loving what is good, prudent, just, devout, self-controlled,

Older men are to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, [and] in endurance.

[to be] self-controlled, pure, busy at home, good, being subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be slandered.

Likewise, exhort the young men to be self-controlled,

training us in order that, denying impiety and worldly desires, we may live self-controlled and righteously and godly in the present age,

knowing that such a person is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.
