1 Timothy 3:2-9
The husband of one wife; chaste.Greedy of filthy lucre; eager after gain.
Not a novice; not a very recent convert to Christianity.
Of them which are without; of the people of the world in general.
Not double-tongued; that is, they must be honest and sincere.
The mystery of the faith; the gospel,—often spoken of as a mystery, on account of its having been long withheld from the knowledge of mankind.
