Bible Read 1 Timothy 3

1 Timothy 3:4

World English Bible (WEB)

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

In context

2 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;

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

5 (for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)

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