1 Timothy 3:2-13

LITV(i) 2 Then it behooves the overseer to be blameless, husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, well-ordered, hospitable, apt at teaching; 3 not a drinker, not a contentious one, not greedy of ill gain, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not loving money; 4 ruling his own house well, having children in subjection with all respect. 5 But if anyone does not know to rule his own house, how will he care for a church of God? 6 He should not be a novice, lest being puffed up he may fall into the Devil's judgment. 7 But he must also have a good witness from those outside, that he not fall into reproach and into a snare of the Devil. 8 Likewise, deacons to be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy of ill gain, 9 having the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. 10 And also let these be tested first, then let them serve, being without reproach. 11 Likewise, their wives to be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their own households and children well. 13 For those having served well gain a good grade for themselves and much boldness in faith, those in Christ Jesus.
