Titus 1:7

1:7 For the overseer ¹  must be blameless as one entrusted with God’s work, ²  not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.

Titus 2:15

2:15 So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuke ³  that carries full authority. ⁴  Don’t let anyone look down ⁵  on you.

[1:7]  ¹ sn The overseer is another term for the same official position of leadership as the “elder.” This is seen in the interchange of the two terms in this passage and in Acts 20:17, 28, as well as in the parallels between these verses and 1 Tim 3:1-7.

[1:7]  ² tn Grk “as God’s steward.”

[2:15]  ³ tn Or “reproof,” “censure.” The Greek word ἐλέγχω (elencw) implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.

[2:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “speak these things and exhort and rebuke with all authority.”

[2:15]  ⁵ tn Or “let anyone despise you”; or “let anyone disregard you.”
