6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior. 7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain; 8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled, 9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

6 如果有人无可指摘, 只作一个妻子的丈夫, 儿女都信主, 也没有人控告他们放荡或不受约束, 才可以作长老。

7 因为监督是 神的管家, 所以必须无可指摘、不任性、不随便动怒、不好酒、不打人、不贪不义之财;

8 却要接待客旅、喜爱良善、自律、公正、圣洁、自制,

9 坚守那合乎教义、可靠的真道, 好使他能够用纯正的道理劝勉人, 并且能够折服反对的人。
