| 7 | For the overseer must be blameless, as God`s steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain; | Tit 1:5 Php 1:1 1Ti 3:1 1Ti 3:2-13 |
| 8 | but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, sober-minded, fair, holy, self-controlled; | 1Ti 3:2 |
