Scripture Content

The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach. If you delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.
