Passage: Titus 1:5-9, 13, 14 (RSV)


Titus 1


5This is why I left you in Crete, that you might amend what was defective, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,
6if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of being profligate or insubordinate.
7For a bishop, as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,
8but hospitable, a lover of goodness, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled;
9he must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to confute those who contradict it.
 
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
 
14instead of giving heed to Jewish myths or to commands of men who reject the truth.
