1 Timothy 3:1-3

11It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the 2office of 3overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

245An overseer, then, must be above reproach, 6the husband of one wife, 7temperate, prudent, respectable, 8hospitable, 9able to teach,

310not addicted to wine 11or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, 12free from the love of money.
