American Standard Version
1 Timothy 3:2-7
2The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;
4one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5(but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
