1. Timoteus 3,2

IntegrityMarriageFaithfulness and loyaltySelf-control

1 Dette ordet er troverdig: om noen trakter etter tilsynsvervet, så ønsker han en edel gjerning.

En tilsynsmann må da være ulastelig, én kvinnes mann, edruelig, sindig, høflig, gjestfri, i stand til å lære andre,

3 ikke drikkfeldig, ikke voldelig, men mild, ikke stridslysten, fri for pengekjærhet.

4 Han må lede sitt eget hus godt og ha lydige barn med all verdighet
