1 Timothy 3:2-4

2Now an overseer must be blameless and beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

3not addicted to wine, not a bully nor quick-tempered and hot-headed, but gentle and considerate, free from the love of money [not greedy for wealth and its inherent power—financially ethical].

4He must manage his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity [keeping them respectful and well-behaved]
