Titus 1:5–9

5 sFor this cause left I thee in tCrete, that uthou shouldest set in order the things that are * vwanting, and wordain xelders in every city, as I had yappointed thee: 6 zIf any be ablameless, the husband of one wife, bhaving faithful children not accused of criot or dunruly. 7 For ea bishop must be ablameless, as fthe steward of God; not gselfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 But a lover of hospitality, ha lover of * good men, isober, just, holy, temperate; 9 kHolding fast lthe faithful word * mas he hath been taught, nthat he may be able by osound doctrine both to exhort and to pconvince the gainsayers.
