Titus 1:7-9 (New Revised Standard)
7
For a bishop, a as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or addicted to wine or violent or greedy for gain;
8
but he must be hospitable, a lover of goodness, prudent, upright, devout, and self-controlled.
9
He must have a firm grasp of the word that is trustworthy in accordance with the teaching, so that he may be able both to preach with sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it.
