'Household' in the Bible

but ruling his own household wisely and well, with children kept under control with true dignity.

(If a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?)

A deacon must be true to his one wife, and rule his children and his own household wisely and well.

But, for fear I may be hindered, I now write, so that you may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household. For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is, and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth.
