If you would read further into Paul’s criteria for an Overseer, you would find Paul’s emphasis is on these men being Spiritual leaders. The ‘rule’ Paul speaks of is that these men both acknowledge and demonstrate the type traits that are agreeable with Christlikeness; both at home and in the company of other believers. That is what Paul was dealing with. Nothing more.
At no time did Paul mention or hint at anything closely related to what you are saying. Like I said, your usage of this passage is out of context. Sister, there is not a credible Bible commentary you can offer that says what you do about this passage. Not one.

What? No scripture? I'm shocked!
And Paul isn't speaking about spiritual leaders, but the men who have families, if you read the scripture I posted.
Did you even bother to look up the Strong's definition for 'rule'?
As to your first statement, you are correct, but if one is protecting their family, that protect should include anything possible in the realm of reality.
