1:5 The reason I left you in Crete was to set in order the remaining matters and to appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. 1:6 An elder must be blameless, 2 the husband of one wife, 3 with faithful children 4 who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion. 1:7 For the overseer 5 must be blameless as one entrusted with God’s work, 6 not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.
