Titus 1:6-7
1:6 a must be faithful to his wife: See study note on 1 Tim 3:2.• wild or rebellious: This probably reflects Cretan culture with its low moral standards (Titus 1:12 b).
1:7 c A church leader (or An overseer, or A bishop) is a manager of God’s household: See 1:11 d; 2:2-10 e; 1 Tim 1:4 f; 3:4-5 g, 12 h, 15 i; 2 Tim 2:20-21 j.
• These qualities indicate that an elder should not be running with the Cretan masses (see Titus 1:12 k).
