Titus 1:9 · World English Bible

Titus 1:9 in context

  1. 7For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
  2. 8but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;
  3. 9holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.
  4. 10For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,
  5. 11whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
