The Morning Psalm

1 Timothy 3:5

King James Version

(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
1 Timothy 3:5, KJV

1 Timothy 3:5 in context

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

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

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

6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
