God’s Word Translation
1 Timothy 3:1-5
1This is a statement that can be trusted: If anyone sets his heart on being a bishop, he desires something excellent.
2A bishop must have a good reputation. He must have only one wife, be sober, use good judgment, be respectable, be hospitable, and be able to teach.
3He must not drink excessively or be a violent person, but he must be gentle. He must not be quarrelsome or love money.
4He must manage his own family well. His children should respectfully obey him.
5(If a man doesn’t know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)
