1 Timothy 3:8-10

Contemporary English Version

Church Officers

⁸ Church officers^[a] should be serious. They must not be liars, heavy drinkers, or greedy for money. ⁹ And they must have a clear conscience and hold firmly to what God has shown us about our faith. ¹⁰ They must first prove themselves. Then if no one has anything against them, they can serve as officers.
