# Connecting Statement:
Paul gives some special instructions on how the overseers of the church should act and be.
# a good work
"an honorable task"
# husband of one wife
An overseer must have only one wife. It is unclear if this excludes men who have been previously widowed or divorced, or never married.
# He must be moderate, sensible, orderly, and hospitable
"He must not do anything to excess, must be reasonable and behave well, and must be friendly to strangers"
# He must not be addicted to wine, not a brawler, but instead, gentle, peaceful
"He must neither drink too much alcohol nor like to fight and argue, but instead he must be gentle and peaceful"
# a lover of money
"greedy for money"
