Qualifications of Elders

Unchecked Copy BoxTit 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:6 - An elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:7 - For the overseer must be blameless as one entrusted with God's work, not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:8 - Instead he must be hospitable, devoted to what is good, sensible, upright, devout, and self-controlled.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:9 - He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught, so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching and correct those who speak against it.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:10 - For there are many rebellious people, idle talkers, and deceivers, especially those with Jewish connections,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:11 - who must be silenced because they mislead whole families by teaching for dishonest gain what ought not to be taught.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:12 - A certain one of them, in fact, one of their own prophets, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:13 - Such testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply that they may be healthy in the faith
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:14 - and not pay attention to Jewish myths and commands of people who reject the truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:15 - All is pure to those who are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:16 - They profess to know God but with their deeds they deny him, since they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
