1 Timothy 3:2-7
2 aAn overseer, then, must be above reproach, bthe husband of one wife, ctemperate, sensible, respectable, dhospitable, eable to teach, 3 anot addicted to wine or pugnacious, but considerate, peaceable, bfree from the love of money; 4 aleading his own household well, having his children in submission with all dignity 5 (but if a man does not know how to lead his own household, how will he take care of athe church of God?), 6 and not a new convert, so that he will not become aconceited and fall into the bcondemnation of the devil. 7 And he must ahave a good reputation with bthose outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and cthe snare of the devil.
1 Timothy 6:11
11 But you, O aman of God, bflee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, cfaith, dlove, perseverance, gentleness.
