He must not drink too much wine. He must not be a person who likes to fight. And he must not be a person who always tries to get rich by cheating people. An overseer must be ready to help others by accepting them into his home. He must love what is good. He must be wise. He must live right. He must be holy. And he must be able to control himself.

To be an elder, a man must not be guilty of doing wrong. He must have only one wife. His children must be believers. They must not be known as children who are wild and who do not obey.
