1 Timothy 3:1-7
New King James Version (NKJV)

Qualifications of Overseers
3 This is a faithful saying: If
a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of
one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to
teach; 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for
money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one
who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all
reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own
house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 6 not a
novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation
as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good
testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the
devil.
