1 Timothy 3:4 in Context — 1 Timothy 3

2 É dever, portanto, que o bispo seja irrepreensível, marido de uma mulher, sóbrio, comedido, decente, hospitaleiro, apto para ensinar;

3 Não dado ao vinho, não violento, não ganancioso, mas sim moderado, não briguento, não cobiçoso por dinheiro;

4 que governe bem a sua própria casa, e tenha os [seus] filhos em submissão com toda dignidade.

5 (Pois, se alguém não sabe governar a sua própria casa, como cuidará da igreja de Deus?)

6 Não um novo convertido; para que não se torne arrogante, e caia na condenação do diabo.
