1 Timothy 3:1-5

1This saying is trustworthy: “If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble work.”

2An overseer, therefore, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

3not an excessive drinker, not a bully but gentle, not quarrelsome, not greedy.

4He must manage his own household competently and have his children under control with all dignity.

5(If anyone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of God’s church?)
