^{2 Ref} A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

^{3 Ref} Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

^{4 Ref} One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

^{5 Ref} (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
