someone who is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of wildness or rebellion.
Titus 1:6 In-Context
4
To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
5
The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6
An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7
Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8
Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
