Qualities of assembly overseers

1Tim 3:1–7

3:1 Qualities of assembly overseers

3This is a trustworthy saying: ‘If anyone is aspiring to be an overseer, then it’s a good task that he’s desiring.’ 2So it’s fitting that an overseer be above reproach,[ref] be the husband of one wife, sober, sensible, respectable, hospitable, a good teacher, 3not dependent on alcohol or greedy or a bully, but rather gentle, peace-loving, 4a good, dignified leader in his own home and in disciplining his children. 5(If someone doesn’t know how to lead his own household, how could he take care of God’s assembly.) 6He mustn’t be a new believer because that might lead him to becoming proud and from there to fall into the devil’s judgement. 7It’s also fitting for him to have a good reputation with those outside the assembly so that he doesn’t end up getting mocked and from there falling into the devil’s trap.

Tit 1:6-9:

6[ref]Each elder must have a clean record, be the husband of one wife, and have believing children who are not wild or disobedient. 7Any overseer in the assembly as a manager working for God must have a clean record, not be self-centred, not be quick to get angry, not addicted to wine, not a bully, and not greedy, 8but rather hospitable, someone who loves what is good, sensible, honest, loves God, and self-controlled. 9He must hold faithfully to the message that was taught, so that he will be effective in encouraging others with sound teaching and to be rebuking those who speak against the message.
