Bible verses about "overseer" | RKJNT

¹ Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:

² An overseer must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, respectable, given to hospitality, able to teach;

²⁵ For you were like sheep going astray; but you have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

⁶ Elders must be blameless, the husband of one wife, whose children believe and are not accused of being profligate or unruly. ⁷ For an overseer must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for gain;

¹ I exhort the elders who are among you, as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ and as a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: ² Tend the flock of God which is in your charge, not by compulsion, but willingly; not for sordid gain, but eagerly; ³ Not being lords over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. ⁴ And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that does not fade away.

²⁸ Take heed for yourselves, and for all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.
