Titus 1:5-9

5This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you—

6if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination.

7For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,

8but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.

9He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
