Titus 1:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
In context
3 In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
4 To Titus, my true child 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 would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6 An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
7 As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
