NASB
"He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity"
— 1 Timothy 3:4, NASB
“One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;”
“one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; ”
“one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;”
“He must manage his own household well and keep his children in control without losing his dignity.”
“One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.”
“Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behaviour;”
“One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;”
It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money.
He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity
(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),
and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.
And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
