In Context

2 The overseer then must be irreproachable, husband of one wife, sober, discreet, decorous, hospitable, apt to teach;

3 not given to excesses from wine, not a striker, but mild, not addicted to contention, not fond of money,

4 conducting his own house well, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5 (but if one does not know how to conduct his own house, how shall he take care of the assembly of God?)

6 not a novice, that he may not, being inflated, fall into the fault of the devil.

7 But it is necessary that he should have also a good testimony from those without, that he may fall not into reproach and the snare of the devil.
