As an elder, a witness of Christ's suffering, and a participant in the glory to be revealed later, I urge you elders like me: feed the flock of God among you and take care of them according to God's will; Not out of reluctance, but out of willingness; Not because of greed, but out of willingness; It is not entrusted to you by the ruler, but an example for the flock. When the shepherd grows up now, you will be crowned with eternal glory. (1 Peter 5: 1-4 and KJV)

If there is an blameless person who is the husband of only one woman, and his children are believers, and no one accuses them of being dissolute and disobedient, it can be established. Since the overseer is the steward of God, he must be blameless, not willful, not impatient, not disturbed by wine, not beating people, not greedy for ill-gotten gains; Willing to receive people from afar, kind, solemn, just, holy and self-sustaining; Sticking to the truth taught can convince people and refute those who argue with pure lessons. ..... A local prophet among Cretes said, "Cretes often lie, but they are evil beasts, greedy and lazy." (Titus 1:6-9, 12 and combined versions)
