2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;Select 1 Timothy 3:2
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;Select 1 Timothy 3:3
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;Select 1 Timothy 3:4
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)Select 1 Timothy 3:5
6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.Select 1 Timothy 3:6
