1 Timothy 3:1 In-Context
1
The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.
2
Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3
not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
4
He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive,
5
for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?
