Titus 1:6

3 Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

4 To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

5 I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

6 Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

7 For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself;

8 But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;

9 Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters.
