1 Timothy 3:2

⁶if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior. ⁷For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain; ⁸but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled, ⁹holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

²⁴The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,

¹³contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

⁹Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,

⁹Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

¹⁰Let them also first be tested; then let them serve^[+] if they are blameless. ¹¹Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.

⁸Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

²that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,

²Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

¹⁵that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
