Titus 1:7-9

New English Translation

⁷ For the overseer^[a] must be blameless as one entrusted with God’s work,^[b] not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain. ⁸ Instead he must be hospitable, devoted to what is good, sensible, upright, devout, and self-controlled. ⁹ He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught,^[c] so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching^[d] and correct those who speak against it.
