Qualifications for Overseers

Qualifications for Overseers

(Titus 1:5–9, 1 Peter 5:1–4)

3[This is] a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task. 2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, [the] husband of but one wife,[fn] temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, [and] free of the love of money.

4[An overseer must] manage [his] own household well [and] keep [his] children under control, with complete dignity. 5[For] if someone {does} not know how to manage [his] own household, [how] can he care for [the] church of God? 6[He must] not [be] a recent convert, or he may become conceited [and] fall under [ the same ] condemnation as the devil. 7Furthermore he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and [into the] snare of the devil.


3:2 Or faithful to his wife; also in verse 12
