⁶ An elder must be^[a] blameless. He must be the husband of one wife^[b] and have children who are believers and who are not accused of having wild lifestyles or of being rebellious. ⁷ Because an overseer is God’s servant manager, he must be blameless. He must not be arrogant or irritable. He must not drink too much, be a violent person, or make money in shameful ways. ⁸ Instead, he must be hospitable to strangers, must appreciate what is good, and be sensible, honest, moral, and self-controlled.
