5 Therefore I left you in Crete, in order that you may set in order remaining things, and establish elders in every city, as I commanded you; 6 if any one is irreproachable, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not in accusation of riot or incorrigible. 7 For it behooves the bishop to be blameless, as the steward of God; not audacious, not irascible, not given to wine, not a controvertist, not fond of filthy lucre; 8 but hospitable, loving the good, prudent, righteous, holy, temperate; 9 holding that which is according to the teaching of the faithful word, in order that he may be able both to exhort with healthy teaching, and to convict the opposers. Titus 1:5-9, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
