Question source
Titus
Titus lists character and household qualifications, including being above reproach and managing a faithful household. An overseer must not be arrogant, quick-tempered, or greedy, but hospitable and self-controlled. He must also hold firm to the trustworthy word. See Titus 1:6–9.
6if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7For the overseer must be blameless, as God`s steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, sober-minded, fair, holy, self-controlled;
9holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
