1. This is a true saying: if a man is eager to be a church leader, he desires an excellent work.
2. A church leader must be without fault; he must have only one wife, be sober, self-controlled, and orderly; he must welcome strangers in his home; he must be able to teach;
3. he must not be a drunkard or a violent man, but gentle and peaceful; he must not love money;
4. he must be able to manage his own family well and make his children obey him with all respect.
