1 Timothy 3:2


← 1 Timothy 3:1 1 Timothy 3:2 (KJV) 1 Timothy 3:3 →
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
