The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
3
not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;

not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
