New King James Version
1 Timothy 3:2-9
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;
3not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
4one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence
5(for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);
6not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
7Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money,
9holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
