In 1 Timothy 3:2 Paul uses a unique word translated in many ways, one of which is prudent—“An overseer, then, must be…prudent.”
Wikipedia explains prudence as, “The ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason. It is classically considered to be a virtue, and one of the four cardinal virtues.” It is showing care and thought for the future. Merriam-Webster says, “The prudent are marked by wisdom. They are shrewd in the management of practical affairs. Discreet.”
