5 The reason I left you in Crete was to set in order the remaining matters and to appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.

6 An elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.

7 For the overseer must be blameless as one entrusted with God's work, not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.
