5 I left you behind in Crete expressly to correct what defects there were, and to appoint elders in each town, as I directed you—
6 men of irreproachable character, who have been married only once, whose children are Christians, free from any suspicion of profligacy or disobedience.

9 standing by the message that can be relied on, just as he was taught it, so that he may be qualified both to encourage others with wholesome teaching and to show the error of those who oppose him.
