1 Timothy 3:1-7

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