Titus 1:6

Instructions To Titus In Crete

⁵ For this reason I left you behind in Crete, so that you would set right what remains unfinished, and appoint elders in every city as I directed you, ⁶ namely, a man of unquestionable integrity, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of being immoral or rebellious. ⁷ For the overseer, as God’s steward, must be blameless, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain [but financially ethical].
