16/10/2016 PM: Traits Of An Elder
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.
