Philippians Chapter 1:1

Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

1 Timothy Chapter 3:1

This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:2

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:3

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:4

One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:5

For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

1 Timothy Chapter 3:6

Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:7

Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:8

Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:9

Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:10

And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:11

Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:12

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:13

For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:14

These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

1 Timothy Chapter 3:15

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:16

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Titus Chapter 1:6

If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

Titus Chapter 1:7

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

1 Peter Chapter 2:25

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

1 Peter Chapter 5:1

The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

1 Peter Chapter 5:2

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

1 Peter Chapter 5:3

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

1 Peter Chapter 5:4

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
