Mar 10:42  [MKJV]  But Jesus called them and said to them,

You know that they who are accounted rulers over the nations exercise lordship over them.
       And their great ones exercise authority on them.

43  But it shall not be so among you.     But ,

whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your servant.
44  And whoever of you desires to become first, he shall be servant of all.

45  For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.

Titus 1 [CEV]

5  … appoint leaders for the churches in each town. As I told you,

    6  they must have a good reputation and

be faithful in marriage.
Their children must be followers of the Lord and
not have a reputation for being wild and disobedient.

              7  Church officials are in charge of God's work,

and so they must also have a good reputation.

They must not be bossy,
quick-tempered,
heavy drinkers,
bullies, or
dishonest in business.

     8  Instead, they must be

friendly to strangers and
enjoy doing good things.
They must also be sensible,
fair,
pure, and
self-controlled.

     9  They must stick to the true message they were taught,

so that their good teaching can help others and
correct everyone who opposes it.

     10  There are many who don't respect authority, and

they fool others by talking nonsense….

11    But you must make them be quiet.

They are after money, and
they upset whole families by teaching what they should not.

12  …. They are greedy and lazy like wild animals."
13  ….  And you should be hard on such people,

so you can help them grow stronger in their faith.

1 Timothy 3  [KJV]

1  This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop [overseer / elder / church leader], he desireth a
good work.
2  A bishop then must be

blameless,
the husband of one wife,
vigilant,
sober,
of good behaviour,
given to hospitality,
apt to teach;
3  Not given to wine,
no striker,
not greedy of filthy lucre;
but patient,
not a brawler,
not covetous;

   4  One 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?)

    6  Not a novice,

lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

   7  Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without;

lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

8  Likewise must the deacons [those who minister to the church / helpers / those who serve]

be grave,
not double tongued,
not given to much wine,
not greedy of filthy lucre;
9  Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10  And let these also first be proved;

then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

11  Even so must their wives

be grave, not slanderers,
sober,
faithful in all things.

12  Let the deacons be

the husbands of one wife,
ruling their children and their own houses well.

13  For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree,
     and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 5 [CEV]

17    Church leaders [elders who rule / spiritual rulers] who do their job well deserve to be paid twice as much,

especially if they work hard at preaching and teaching.

18    It is just as the Scriptures say, "Don't muzzle an ox when you are using it to grind grain."
      You also know the saying, "Workers are worth their pay."

19    Don't listen to any charge against a church leader,

unless at least two or three people bring the same charges.

20    But if any of the leaders should keep on sinning,

they must be corrected in front of the whole group, as a warning to everyone else.

21    In the presence of God and Christ Jesus and their chosen angels, I order you to follow my instructions!

Be fair with everyone, and don't have any favorites.

22    Don't be too quick to accept people into the service of the Lord by placing your hands on them.

Don't sin because others do, but stay close to God.
