Titus 1:5-9
Qualifications of Elders
5For this reason I left you in aCrete, that you would set in order what remains and bappoint celders in every city as I directed you, 6namely, aif any man is beyond reproach, the bhusband of one wife, having faithful children, who are not accused of cdissipation, or drebellious. 7For the 1,aoverseer must be beyond reproach as bGod’s steward, not cself-willed, not quick-tempered, not daddicted to wine, not pugnacious, enot fond of dishonest gain, 8but ahospitable, bloving what is good, sensible, righteous, holy, self-controlled, 9aholding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in bsound doctrine and to reprove those who contradict.
