Titus 1:5-9
Appointing Elders on Crete

5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

5:

6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

6:

7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

7:

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

8:

9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

9:
