1 Timothy 3:1-7

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

1This is a faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires a good work. 2The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching; 3not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence; 5(but if a man doesn`t know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?) 6not a novice, to avoid being puffed up and falling into the condemnation of the devil. 7Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

1 Timothy 3:1-7 (WEB)
