Overseers

I Timothy 3:1-7
"It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of
overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do. 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."
