7.19.20

This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint
elders in every town as I directed you - if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one
wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or
insubordination. For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must
not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but
hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm
to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction
in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
