This saying is trustworthy: whoever aspires to the office

of bishop (episcopes) desires a noble task. Therefore, a

bishop (episcopon) must be irreproachable, married only

once, temperate, self-controlled, decent, hospitable, able

to teach ...

For a bishop (episcopon) as God's steward must be

blameless, not arrogant, not irritable, not a drunkard,

not aggressive, not greedy for sordid gain, holding

fast to the true message as taught so that he will be

able both to exhort with sound doctrine and to refute

 opponents.
