Titus 1:7-10
English Standard Version
7 For an overseer,[a] (A)as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not (B)be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent (C)or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, (D)and disciplined. 9 He must (E)hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in (F)sound[b] doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
10 For there are many who are insubordinate, (G)empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of (H)the circumcision party.[c]

Titus 1:7-10
New International Version
7 Since an overseer(A) manages God’s household,(B) he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.(C) 8 Rather, he must be hospitable,(D) one who loves what is good,(E) who is self-controlled,(F) upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly(G) to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine(H) and refute those who oppose it.
Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good
10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk(I) and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.(J)
