New English Translation
1 Timothy 3:2-7
2The overseer then must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, an able teacher,
3not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not contentious, free from the love of money.
4He must manage his own household well and keep his children in control without losing his dignity.
5But if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for the church of God?
6He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact.
7And he must be well thought of by those outside the faith, so that he may not fall into disgrace and be caught by the devil’s trap.
