* A bishop then must (5748 ) be (5750 ) blameless , the husband of one wife , vigilant , sober , of good behaviour , given to hospitality , apt to teach ; * Not given to wine , no striker , not greedy of filthy lucre ; but patient , not a brawler , not covetous ; * One that ruleth (5734 ) well his own house , having (5723 ) his children in subjection with all gravity ; * (For if a man know not how (5758 ) to rule (5629 ) his own house , how shall he take care of (5695 ) the church of God ?) * Not a novice , lest being lifted up with pride (5685 ) he fall (5632 ) into the condemnation of the devil . * Moreover he must (5748 ) have (5721 ) a good report of them which are without ; lest he fall (5632 ) into reproach and the snare of the devil .
