1 Timothy 3:4 in Context — 1 Timothy 3
2 Conviene, pues, que el obispo sea irreprensible, marido de una mujer, solícito, templado, compuesto, hospedador, apto para enseñar;
3 No amador del vino, no heridor, no codicioso de torpes ganancias, sino moderado, no litigioso, ajeno de avaricia;
4 Que gobierne bien su casa, que tenga sus hijos en sujeción con toda honestidad;
5 (Porque el que no sabe gobernar su casa, ¿cómo cuidará de la iglesia de Dios?)
6 No un neófito, porque inflándose no caiga en juicio del diablo.
