7 For an overseer must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not easily angered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain,
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, self-controlled, just, holy, temperate,

10 For there are many unruly men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 who must be silenced, who subvert whole houses by teaching for dishonest gain things they ought not teach.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons!”
13 This witness is true. So rebuke them sharply that they may be sound in the faith,
