Qualifications of Elders

5For thisG3778 reasonG5484 I leftG620 you in 23CreteG2914, that you would setG1930 in orderG1930 what remainsG3007 and 24appointG2525 25eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172 as I directedG1299 you, 6namely, 26ifG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 is aboveG410 reproachG410, the 27husbandG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, havingG2192 childrenG5043 whoG4103 believeG4103, not accusedG2724 of 28dissipationG810 orG2228 29rebellionG506. 7For the 3031overseerG1985 mustG1163 be aboveG410 reproachG410 as 32God’sG2316 stewardG3623, not 33self-willedG829, not quick-temperedG3711, not 34addictedG3943 to wineG3943, not pugnaciousG4131, 35not fondG146 of sordidG146 gainG146, 8but 36hospitableG5382, 37lovingG5358 whatG5358 is goodG5358, sensibleG4998, justG1342, devoutG3741, self-controlledG1468, 938holdingG472 fastG472 the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 which is in accordanceG2596 with the teachingG1322, soG2443 that he will be ableG1415 bothG2532 to exhortG3870 in 39soundG5198 doctrineG1319 and to refuteG1651 thoseG3588 who contradictG483.

1040For there are manyG4183 41rebelliousG506 menG506, 42emptyG3151 talkersG3151 and deceiversG5423, especiallyG3122 43thoseG3588 of the circumcisionG4061, 11whoG3739 mustG1163 be silencedG1993 becauseG3748 they are upsettingG396 44wholeG3650 familiesG3624, teachingG1321 45thingsG3739 they shouldG1163 not teach 46for the sakeG5484 of sordidG150 gainG2771. 12OneG5100 of themselvesG846, a prophetG4396 of their ownG2398, saidG3004, “47CretansG2912 are alwaysG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 beastsG2342, lazyG692 gluttonsG1064.” 13ThisG3778 testimonyG3141 is trueG227. For thisG3739 reasonG156 48reproveG1651 them 49severelyG664 soG2443 that they may be 50soundG5198 in the faithG4102, 14not payingG4337 attentionG4337 to JewishG2451 51mythsG3454 and 52commandmentsG1785 of menG444 who 53turnG654 awayG654 from the truthG225. 1554To the pureG2513, allG3956 thingsG3956 are pureG2513; but 55to thoseG3588 who are defiledG3392 and unbelievingG571, nothingG3762 is pureG2513, but bothG2532 their 56mindG3563 and their conscienceG4893 are defiledG3392. 1657They professG3670 to knowG3609 GodG2316, but by their deedsG2041 they 58denyG720 Him, beingG1510 59detestableG947 and 60disobedientG545 and 61worthlessG96 62for anyG3956 goodG18 deedG2041.
