Titus 1:5-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ For this reason I left you in Crete, so that you would continue to organize the things which remain, and would ordain elders in every city, as I directed you

⁶ (if any are blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children who are not accused of wastefulness or disobedient).

⁷ For an overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not willful, not angry, not given to wine, not a brawler, not greedy;

⁸ but hospitable, one who loves goodness, wise, righteous, holy, temperate,

⁹ holding fast the faithful word according to doctrine, so that he may also be able to encourage with sound doctrine and convince those who speak against it.
