Timothy 3:1-7 here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble
task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled,
respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not
quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children
obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full [a] respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how
to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent
convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also
have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
