A leader must be free from blame. He must be faithful to his wife. In anything he does, he must not go too far. He must control himself. He must be worthy of respect. He must welcome people into his home. He must be able to teach.He must not get drunk. He must not push people around. He must be gentle. He must not be a person who likes to argue. He must not love money.He must manage his own family well. He must make sure that his children obey him. And he must do this in a way that gains him respect.Suppose someone doesn’t know how to manage his own family. Then how can he take care of God’s church?The leader must not be a new believer. If he is, he might become proud. Then he would be judged just like the devil.The leader must also be respected by those who are outside the church. Then he will not be put to shame. He will not fall into the devil’s trap.
