1 Timothy 3:2-7

2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober minded, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;1 3Not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;2 4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5(For if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.3 7Moreover he must have a good report of them who are outside the church ; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
