1:7 For the overseer9 must be blameless as one entrusted with God’s work,10 not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.
sn The overseer is another term for the same official position of leadership as the “elder.” This is seen in the interchange of the two terms in this passage and in Acts 20:17, 28, as well as in the parallels between these verses and 1 Tim 3:1–7.
