1 Timothy 3:3-5

New Living Translation

³He must not be a heavy drinker^[a] or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. ⁴He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. ⁵For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
