Common English Bible

1 Timothy 3:1-3 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. This saying is reliable: if anyone has a goal to be a supervisor in the church, they want a good thing.

2. So the church’s supervisor must be without fault. They should be faithful to their spouse, sober, modest, and honest. They should show hospitality and be skilled at teaching.

3. They shouldn’t be addicted to alcohol or be a bully. Instead, they should be gentle, peaceable, and not greedy.
