In 1 Tim 3:1-7, Paul gives 16 characteristics of an Elder (or Pastor), grouped by the Elder's desire (v1), positive characteristics (v2), negative characteristics (v3), family (vv4-5), experience (v6), and reputation (v7).
In this first of two sermons on these qualifications, the first eight charactistics are covered. A man who would be a Shepherd of the church of God must desire it, must be blameless, and must be husband of one wife, vigilant, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, and gifted to teach.
