Guidelines for Leaders in the Church

3 This is a statement that can be trusted: If anyone sets his heart on being a bishop,^[a] he desires something excellent. ² A bishop must have a good reputation. He must have only one wife, be sober, use good judgment, be respectable, be hospitable, and be able to teach. ³ He must not drink excessively or be a violent person, but he must be gentle. He must not be quarrelsome or love money.
