Titus · Πρὸς Τίτον

Titus 1:7

Δεῖ γὰρ τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνέγκλητον εἶναι, ὡς Θεοῦ οἰκονόμον· μὴ αὐθάδη, μὴ ὀργίλον, μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, μὴ αἰσχροκερδῆ,
Dei gar ton episkopon anegklēton einai, ōs Theoy oikonomon· mē aythadē, mē orgilon, mē paroinon, mē plēktēn, mē aischrokerdē,
King James Version (KJV)

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

Modern English

Since an overseer manages God's household, he must be blameless — not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
