1 Timothy 3:2-3, 7

1 Timothy 3:2-3 NLT

So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money.

1 Timothy 3:7 NLT

Also, people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the devil’s trap.
