A Chart Showing the Call Upon All Believers to Live Above Reprooach

I wanted to post the following table to show that the character qualities mentioned in 1 Timothy 3:1-13 are called for among all believers throughout the New Testament.  Essentially, this means that all Christians should strive to live lives that are above reproach for the sake of the gospel.  Spend some time this week looking up some of these verses and meditating upon the connections with 1 Timothy 3:1-13.
