He is going to say what God wants him to say no matter what "people" think or say.

Is a man or woman that cheated on their spouse for 4 years qualifying as having a good reputation?

David was a King. We aren't talking about a king. We are talking about Pastors

BTW you did not answer the question. The qualifications we are reviewing are not those of a King..so does a man who cheated on his wife for 4 years have a good reputation?

Pro 24:16 For a just 6662 [man] falleth 5307 seven times 7651, and riseth up again 6965 : but the wicked 7563 shall fall 3782 into mischief 7451.
