| 1 Timothy 3:1 | This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. |
| 1 Timothy 3:2 | A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; |
| Titus 1:7 | For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; |
| 1 Peter 2:25 | For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. |
