Paul gives to Timothy the qualifications for elders and deacons (ministers). These really are simply guidelines for all men and women to aim for.
Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.
1 Timothy 3:1, 8-8, 11 NIV
