1 Timothy 3:1-3

International Children’s Bible

Leaders in the Church

3 What I say is true: If anyone wants to become an overseer, he is wanting a good work. ² An overseer must be so good that people cannot rightly criticize him. He must have only one wife. He must have self-control and be wise. He must be respected by other people and must be ready to help people by accepting them into his home. He must be a good teacher. ³ He must not drink too much wine, and he must not be a man who likes to fight. He must be gentle and peaceful. He must not love money.
