An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the
husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of
money. He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his
children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to
manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),
and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the
condemnation incurred by the devil. And he must have a good reputation
with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the
snare of the devil. 1 Timothy 3:2-7
