Qualifications for Elders

5 ^hThis is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and ⁱappoint elders in every town as I directed you— 6 ^jif anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, ^{▼▼Or a man of one woman} and his children are believers ^{▼▼Or are faithful} and not open to the charge of ^mdebauchery or insubordination. 7 For an overseer, ^{▼▼Or bishop; Greek episkopos} ^oas God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not ^pbe arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent ^qor greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, ^rand disciplined. 9 He must ^shold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in ^tsound ^{▼▼Or healthy; also verse 13} doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
