Titus 1:5-11

5I left you in Crete to do what still needed to be done—appointing spiritual leaders  in every city as I directed you.

6A spiritual leader must have a good reputation. He must have only one wife and have children who are believers. His children shouldn’t be known for having wild lifestyles or being rebellious.

7Because a bishop is a supervisor appointed by God, he must have a good reputation. He must not be a stubborn or irritable person. He must not drink too much or be a violent person. He must not use shameful ways to make money.

8Instead, he must be hospitable, love what is good, use good judgment, be fair and moral, and have self-control.

9He must be devoted to the trustworthy message we teach. Then he can use these accurate teachings to encourage people and correct those who oppose the word.

10There are many believers, especially converts from Judaism, who are rebellious. They speak nonsense and deceive people.

11They must be silenced because they are ruining whole families by teaching what they shouldn’t teach. This is the shameful way they make money.
