Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Of this cause I left thee in Crete so that the things wanting thou mightest rectify, and thou mightest constitute in each city elders, as I to thee have orders; ⁶ if any one is irreproachable, of one wife a husband, children having believing, not under an accusation of profligacy, or of insubordination. ⁷ It behooves for the overseer irreproachable to be, as of God a steward; not self-indulgent, not passionate, not a wine drinker, not a striker, not eager for base gains, ⁸ but a friend to strangers, a friend to goodness, prudent, just, holy, self-governed, ⁹ holding fast of the according to the teaching true word, so that able he may be both to exhort by the teaching by that sound and those speaking against to confute.
