Tito 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 1:6

If any be blameless
In his outward life and conversation, not chargeable with any notorious crime; (See Gill on 1 Timothy 3:2),

the husband of one wife; (See Gill on 1 Timothy 3:2):

having faithful children;
legitimate ones, born in lawful wedlock, in the same sense as such are called godly and holy, in ( Malachi 2:15 ) ( 1 Corinthians 7:14 ) for by faithful children cannot be meant converted ones, or true believers in Christ; for it is not in the power of men to make their children such; and their not being so can never be an objection to their being elders, if otherwise qualified; at most the phrase can only intend, that they should be brought up in the faith, in the principles, doctrines, and ways of Christianity, or in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Not accused of riot;
or chargeable with sins of uncleanness and intemperance, with rioting and drunkenness, chambering and wantonness; or with such crimes as Eli's sons were guilty of, from which they were not restrained by their father, and therefore the priesthood was removed from the family: "or unruly" not subject, but disobedient to their parents; (See Gill on 1 Timothy 3:4). (See Gill on 1 Timothy 3:5).

Tito 1:6 In-Context

4 a Tito, verdadero hijo en la común fe: Gracia y paz de Dios el Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Salvador.

5 Por esta causa te dejé en Creta, para que pusieras en orden lo que queda, y designaras ancianos en cada ciudad como te mandé,

6 esto es, si alguno es irreprensible, marido de una sola mujer, que tenga hijos creyentes, no acusados de disolución ni de rebeldía.

7 Porque el obispo debe ser irreprensible como administrador de Dios, no obstinado, no iracundo, no dado a la bebida, no pendenciero, no amante de ganancias deshonestas,

8 sino hospitalario, amante de lo bueno, prudente, justo, santo, dueño de sí mismo,
