"Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an [elder] desires a noble task.  Now the [elder] is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,  not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.  He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect." -1 Timothy 3:1-4 [NIV]
