← Titus 1:8 Titus 1:10 → READ IN CONTEXT · BSB
Titus 1 7 As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-willed, 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.
10 For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
11 who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
