Description

Verses

• 1 Timothy 3:2-3: The overseer then must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, an able teacher, not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not contentious, free from the love of money.
  
  
• 1 Timothy 3:4-5: He must manage his own household well and keep his children in control without losing his dignity. But if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for the church of God?
  
  
• 1 Timothy 3:6: He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact.
  
  
• 1 Timothy 3:7: And he must be well thought of by those outside the faith, so that he may not fall into disgrace and be caught by the devil's trap.

• Titus 1:7-8: For the overseer must be blameless as one entrusted with God's work, not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain. Instead he must be hospitable, devoted to what is good, sensible, upright, devout, and self-controlled.
  
  
• Titus 1:9: He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught, so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching and correct those who speak against it.
