1 Timothy 3:3-5
New English Translation
3 not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not contentious, free from the love of money. 4 He must manage his own household well and keep his children in control without losing his dignity.[a] 5 But if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for the church of God?

- 1 Timothy 3:4 tn Grk “having children in submission with all dignity.” The last phrase, “keep his children in control without losing his dignity,” may refer to the children rather than the parent: “having children who are obedient and respectful.”
