Bishop’s qualities and abilities

1 What I say is true; If a person wants to become an elder in the congregation, he wants to do good.
1 Timothy 3: 1

2 The old man must be good enough that people will not judge him rightly. He should have only one wife. The elder must control himself and be wise. He must be good so that people can respect him. He should always be ready to help other people and accept them in his home. He must be a good teacher.
1 Timothy 3: 2

3 He should not drink too much alcohol. He should not be quarrelsome. He should like Sharif and Aman. He should not be a person who loves money.
1 Timothy 3: 3

4 He must have a good leader in his house. This means that her children obey her with full respect.
1 Timothy 3: 4

5 If a person does not know how to be the leader of his family, he will not be able to take care of God’s church.
1 Timothy 3: 5

6 But an old man must not be a new believer. Because the person who is a new believer. Then he can be proud of himself. Then he will be slandered for his pride just as Satan was slandered.
1 Timothy 3: 6

7 An elder should be respected by those who do not belong to the church. Then he will not be criticized by others and he cannot be trapped by Satan.
1 Timothy 3: 7

Man’s Stupidity and wickedness

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God; they are corrupt; they have done wickedly; there is none that doeth good.

2 Jehovah looked down from heaven on the descendants of Adam to see if there was a wise man who sought God.

3 They have all gone astray, they have all become corrupt. There is no one to do good, not even one!

4 Don’t all these evildoers understand, who eat my people like bread, and do not call on the name of the Lord?

5 They were terrified, because God lives with the generation of the righteous.

6 You call evil the way of the wicked, but Jehovah is his refuge.

7 I wish the salvation of Israel had come out of Zion! When God brings his people back from slavery, then Jacob will be gardening and Israel will be happy!
