1 Timothy 3:2-4
International Standard Version
2 Therefore, an elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife,[a] stable, sensible, respectable, hospitable to strangers, and teachable.[b] 3 He must not drink excessively or be a violent person, but instead be gentle. He must not be argumentative or love money. 4 He must manage his own family well and have children who are submissive and respectful in every way.
