1 Timothy 3:2-7
2 Now an overseer must be blameless and beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3 not addicted to wine, not (a)a bully nor quick-tempered and hot-headed, but gentle and considerate, free from the love of money [not greedy for wealth and its inherent power—financially ethical].
4 He must manage his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity [keeping them respectful and well-behaved]
5 (for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?).
6 and He must not be a new convert, so that he will not [behave stupidly and] become conceited [by appointment to this high office] and fall into the [same] condemnation incurred by the devil [for his arrogance and pride].(A)
7 And he must have a good reputation and be well thought of by those outside the church, so that he will not be discredited and fall into the devil’s trap.
