1 Timothy 3:2-5
212An overseer, then, must be above reproach, 3the husband of one wife, 45temperate, self-controlled, respectable, 6hospitable, 7skillful in teaching,
38not overindulging in wine, not 9a bully, but gentle, not contentious, 10free from the love of money.
4He must be one who 11manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity
5(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of 12the church of God?),
