5 For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you; 6 if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children not in accusation of rioting, or unruly. 7 For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain; 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, sober-minded, righteous, pious, temperate; 9 holding fast the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the healthful doctrine, and to convict those who contradict. Titus 1:5-9, Worrell New Testament. Public domain.
