Titus 1:5-9 (1:2) For this cause I left you in Crete, that you might regulate things which are deficient, and appoint elders in every city, as I charged you,

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ ^(1:2) For this cause I left you in Crete, that you might regulate things which are deficient, and appoint elders in every city, as I charged you, ⁶ if any one is blameless, a husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of intemperance or of insubordination. ⁷ For a bishop must be blameless as a steward of God, not self-indulgent, not soon angry, not given to wine, not contentious, not devoted to base gain, ⁸ but a lover of hospitality, kind, sober, just, holy, self-denying, ⁹ holding firmly the faithful word taught, that he may be able both to exhort with sound instruction and to convince those who contradict.
