1 Timothy 3:1-5

11It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056: ifG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 aspiresG3713 to the 2officeG1984 ofG1984 3overseerG1984, it is a fineG2570 workG2041 he desiresG1937 to do.

245An overseerG1985, thenG3767, mustG1163 be aboveG423 reproachG423, 6the husbandG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, 78temperateG3524, self-controlledG4998, respectableG2887, 9hospitableG5382, 10skillfulG1317 inG1317 teachingG1317,

311not overindulgingG3943 inG3943 wineG3943, notG3361 12a bullyG4131, but gentleG1933, notG269 contentiousG269, 13freeG866 fromG866 theG866 loveG866 ofG866 moneyG866.

4He must be one who 14managesG4291 his ownG2398 householdG3624 wellG2573, keepingG2192 his childrenG5043 underG1722 controlG5292 with allG3956 dignityG4587

5(but ifG1487 a manG5100 does not knowG3609 howG3609 to manageG4291 his ownG2398 householdG3624, howG4459 will he takeG1959 careG1959 of 15the churchG1577 of GodG2316?),
