1 Timothy 3:4 in Context — 1 Timothy 3
2 Il faut donc que l’évêque soit irréprochable, mari d’une seule femme, sobre, modéré, réglé dans sa conduite, hospitalier, propre à l’enseignement.
3 Il faut qu’il ne soit ni adonné au vin, ni violent, mais indulgent, pacifique, désintéressé.
4 Il faut qu’il dirige bien sa propre maison, et qu’il tienne ses enfants dans la soumission et dans une parfaite honnêteté;
5 car si quelqu’un ne sait pas diriger sa propre maison, comment prendra-t-il soin de l’Église de Dieu?
6 Il ne faut pas qu’il soit un nouveau converti, de peur qu’enflé d’orgueil il ne tombe sous le jugement du diable.
