Titus 1:5-9

5For this cause I left thee in CreteG2914, that thou mightest go on to set right what remained [unordered], and establish eldersG4245 in each cityG4172, as I had ordered thee:

6if any oneG1520 beG1510 free from all charge [against him], husbandG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, having believing childrenG5043 not accused of excess or unruly.

7For the overseerG1985 must beG1510 free from all charge [against him] as 1God's stewardG3623; not headstrong, not passionate, not disorderly through wineG3943, not a striker, not seeking gainG146 by base means;

8but hospitableG5382, a lover of goodness, discreet, justG1342, pious, temperate,

9clinging to the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 accordingG2596 to the doctrineG1319 taught, that he may beG1510 ableG1415 both to encourageG3870 with soundG5198 teachingG1322 and refute gainsayers.
