Qualifications of Elders

5For thisG3778 reasonG5484 I leftG620 you in 24CreteG2914, that you would setG1930 inG1930 orderG1930 what remainsG3007 and 25appointG2525 26eldersG4245 inG2596 everyG2596 cityG4172 as I directedG1299 you, 6namely, 27ifG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 is beyondG410 reproachG410, the 28husbandG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, havingG2192 childrenG5043 whoG4103 believeG4103, not accusedG2724 of 29indecentG810 behaviorG810 orG2228 30rebellionG506. 7For the 3132overseerG1985 mustG1163 be beyondG410 reproachG410 as 33God’sG2316 stewardG3623, not 34self-willedG829, not quick-temperedG3711, not 35overindulgingG3943 inG3943 wineG3943, not 36a bullyG4131, 37not greedyG146 forG146 moneyG146, 8but 38hospitableG5382, 39lovingG5358 whatG5358 isG5358 goodG5358, self-controlledG4998, righteousG1342, holyG3741, disciplinedG1468, 940holdingG472 firmlyG472 the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 which is inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 the teachingG1322, soG2443 thatG2443 he will be ableG1415 bothG2532 to 41exhortG3870 in 42soundG5198 doctrineG1319 and to refuteG1651 thoseG3588 who contradictG483 it.

1043For there are manyG4183 44rebelliousG506 peopleG506, 45emptyG3151 talkersG3151 and deceiversG5423, especiallyG3122 46thoseG3588 of the circumcisionG4061, 11whoG3739 mustG1163 be silencedG1993 becauseG3748 they are upsettingG396 47wholeG3650 familiesG3624, teachingG1321 48thingsG3739 they shouldG1163 not teach 49for the sakeG5484 of 50dishonestG150 gainG2771. 12OneG5100 of themG846, a prophetG4396 of their ownG2398, saidG3004, “51CretansG2912 are alwaysG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 beastsG2342, lazyG692 gluttonsG1064.” 13ThisG3778 testimonyG3141 is trueG227. For thisG3739 reasonG156 52reprimandG1651 them 53severelyG664 soG2443 thatG2443 they may be 54soundG5198 in the faithG4102, 14not payingG4337 attentionG4337 to JewishG2451 55mythsG3454 and 56commandmentsG1785 of menG444 who 57turnG654 awayG654 from the truthG225. 1558To the pureG2513, allG3956 thingsG3956 are pureG2513; but 59to thoseG3588 who are defiledG3392 and unbelievingG571, nothingG3762 is pureG2513, but bothG2532 their 60mindG3563 and their conscienceG4893 are defiledG3392. 1661They professG3670 to knowG3609 GodG2316, but by their deedsG2041 they 62denyG720 Him, beingG1510 63detestableG947 and 64disobedientG545 and 65worthlessG96 66for anyG3956 goodG18 deedG2041.
