1Ti 3:4-5 | PNT | STEP | One that ruleth well his own house . This implies that he must be a man of family. Having his children in subjection . He must be a father with obedient children.

1 Timothy 3:4-5

One that ruleth well his own house. This implies that he must be a man of family.

Having his children in subjection. He must be a father with obedient children. For if a man know not how to rule his own house. The order of his own house will show whether he is fit to have a charge in the house of God. The sins of Eli's sons showed that Eli, though a good man, was unfitted to rule (1Sa 2:22-25).
