* For this cause left I (5627 ) thee in Crete , that thou shouldest set in order (5672 ) the things that are wanting (5723 ), and ordain (5661 ) elders in every city , as I had appointed (5668 ) thee : * If any be (5748 ) blameless , the husband of one wife , having (5723 ) faithful children not accused of riot or unruly . * For a bishop must (5748 ) be (5750 ) 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 (5740 ) the faithful word as he hath been taught , that he may be (5753 ) able by sound (5723 ) doctrine both to exhort (5721 ) and to convince (5721 ) the gainsayers (5723 ).
