5 I left you in Crete for this purpose, that you might set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I commanded you: 6 if any one is blameless, the husband of one wife, if he has faithful children that are not accused of riotous living, or disobedient. 7 For the bishop must be blame less, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not fond of wine, not quarrelsome, not one who makes money by base means; 8 but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, just, holy, temperate, 9 holding fast the sure word as it is taught, that he may be able, by sound teaching, both to exhort and to convince the opposers. Titus 1:5-9, Anderson New Testament. Public domain.
