Titus:1:5-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For this cause left I thee in Crete ,
that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting ,
and ordain elders in every city ,
as I had appointed thee :
*
If any be blameless ,
the husband of one wife ,
having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly .
*
For a bishop must be blameless ,
as the steward of God ;
not selfwilled ,
not soon angry ,
not given to wine ,
no striker ,
not given to filthy lucre ;
*
But a lover of hospitality ,
a lover of good men ,
sober ,
just ,
holy ,
temperate ;
*
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught ,
that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers .
