Titus 1:7 in Context — Titus 1
5 Je t’ai laissé en Crète, afin que tu mettes en ordre ce qui reste à régler, et que, selon mes instructions, tu établisses des anciens dans chaque ville,
6 s’il s’y trouve quelque homme irréprochable, mari d’une seule femme, ayant des enfants fidèles, qui ne soient ni accusés de débauche ni rebelles.
7 Car il faut que l’évêque soit irréprochable, comme économe de Dieu; qu’il ne soit ni arrogant, ni colère, ni adonné au vin, ni violent, ni porté à un gain déshonnête;
8 mais qu’il soit hospitalier, ami des gens de bien, modéré, juste, saint, tempérant,
9 attaché à la vraie parole telle qu’elle a été enseignée, afin d’être capable d’exhorter selon la saine doctrine et de réfuter les contradicteurs.
