1 Timóteo 3

1 The word [is] steadfast: If anyone longs for overseership, he desires a right work; 2 it is required, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, a husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, respectable, a friend of strangers, apt to teach, 3 not given to wine, not a striker, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money, 4 leading his own house well, having children in subjection with all dignity, 5 (and if anyone has not known [how] to lead his own house, how will he take care of an assembly of God?) 6 not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the Devil; 7 and it is required of him also to have a good testimony from those outside, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the Devil.
