Titus:1:5-11
rsv@Titus:1:5 @ This is why I left you in Crete, that you might amend what was defective, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,
rsv@Titus:1:6 @ if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of being profligate or insubordinate.
rsv@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop, as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,
rsv@Titus:1:8 @ but hospitable, a lover of goodness, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled;
rsv@Titus:1:9 @ he must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to confute those who contradict it.
rsv@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many insubordinate men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially the circumcision party;
rsv@Titus:1:11 @ they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for base gain what they have no right to teach.
