New International Version
Titus 1:5-9
5The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
9He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
