1 Timothy 3:7-9

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁷ People who are not church people must also speak well of a church leader, so that he will not fall into the devil's trap.

⁸ In the same way, the leader's helpers must be men whom people respect. They must not say one thing one time and something different another time. They must not drink too much wine. They must not try to get rich in wrong ways.

⁹ They must know God's plan and what we believe. They must do only what they know is right.
