Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.<\/p>\n
The Bible, 1 Timothy 3:2\u20133<\/i><\/p>\n
Since an overseer is entrusted with God\u2019s work, he must be blameless \u2013 not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.<\/p>\n
The Bible, Titus 1:7\u20139<\/i><\/p>\n
Be shepherds of God\u2019s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers \u2013 not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.<\/p>\n
