1 Timothy 3:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 (A)A Bishop therefore must be unreproveable, the husband of one [a]wife, watching, temperate, modest, harborous, apt to teach,
3 Not [b]given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not covetous.
4 One that can rule his own house honestly, having children under obedience with all honesty.
