3:2 An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3:3 not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
3:4 An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
3:5 For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
3:6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
3:7 Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.

3:9 They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
3:10 Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
