I am more interested in 1 Timothy...where the qualifications for a pastor are enumerated

3:1 It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

3:2 An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

3:3 not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money.

3:4 He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity

3:5 (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),

Got lazy … thank you for pointing them out again.
