Titus 1:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]To Titus my natural son according to the common faith, [b]Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 [c]For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest continue to redress the things that remain, and shouldest ordain Elders in every city as I ap-pointed thee.
6 (A)If any be unreproveable, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are [d]disobedient.

Titus 1:4-6
New International Version
4 To Titus,(A) my true son(B) in our common faith:
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.(C)
Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good(D)
5 The reason I left you in Crete(E) was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint[a] elders(F) in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must be blameless,(G) faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe[b] and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
