Titus 1:7
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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.
In context
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.
8 Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
9 He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.
