Christian Standard Bible
1 Timothy 3:2-7
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?)
6He must not be a new convert, or he might become conceited and incur the same condemnation as the devil.
7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation among outsiders, so that he does not fall into disgrace and the devil’s trap.
