Qualities of assembly overseers

1 Tim 3:1–7

3:1 Qualities of assembly overseers

3 This is a trustworthy saying: ‘If anyone is aspiring to be an overseer, then it’s a good task that he’s desiring.’ 2 So it’s fitting that an overseer be above reproach, be the husband of one wife, sober, sensible, respectable, hospitable, a good teacher, 3 not dependent on alcohol or greedy or a bully, but rather gentle, peace-loving, 4 a 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?) 6 He mustn’t be a new believer, because that might lead him to becoming proud, and from there to fall into the devil’s judgement. 7 It’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.[ref]

3 The saying is trustworthy:
If anyone is_aspiring to_overseeing, he_is_desiring of_a_good work.
2 Therefore it_is_fitting the overseer to_be irreproachable, the_husband of_one wife, sober, sensible, respectable, hospitable, teaching,
3 not winebibbing, nor a_bully, but gentle, peaceable, ungreedy,
4 leading of_his own house well, having children in submission, with all dignity
5 (but if someone has_ not _known to_lead of_his own house, how ˓will˒_he_be_taking_care of_the_assembly of_god?
)
6 Not a_neophyte, in_order_that not having_been_conceited, he_may_fall_in into the_judgement of_the devil.
7 And it_is_fitting him also, to_be_having a_ good _testimony from the ones outside, in_order_that he_may_ not _fall_in into derision and the_snare of_the devil.

Tit 1:6-9:

6 Each elder must have a clean record, be the husband of one wife, and have believing children who are not wild or disobedient. 7 Any 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, 8 but rather hospitable, someone who loves what is good, sensible, honest, loves God, and self-controlled. 9 He 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.[ref]

6 if anyone is unindictable, the_husband of_one wife, having believing children, not in accusation of_intemperance or insubordinate.
7 For/Because it_is_fitting the overseer to_be unindictable as a_manager of_god, not self-willed, not easily_angered, not winebibbing, not a_bully, not greedy,
8 but hospitable, a_lover_of_good, sensible, righteous, devout, self-controlled,
9 upholding of_the faithful message according_to the teaching, in_order_that he_may_be powerful both to_be_exhorting with the teaching which being_sound, and to_be_rebuking the ones speaking_against it.

1:6-9: 1Tim 3:2-7.
