About I Timothy

Instructions for church leadership and sound doctrine.

New Testament • Book #54

The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modes...

not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money;

(but if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)

not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
