1 Timothy 3:1 In-Context
1
This is a faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires a good work.
2
The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
3
not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
4
one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
5
(but if a man doesn't know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?)
