Instructions To Titus In Crete
7 For indeed a presiding officer, as God's steward, ought to be blameless, not self-willed or quick-tempered, not a drunkard or violent, or greedy of filthy lucre; 8 but he must be hospitable, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled. 9 He must hold to the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may be able both to encourage by sound teaching, and to confute our opponents.
