Titus 1:9 in Context — Titus 1
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.
10 Il y a, en effet, surtout parmi les circoncis, beaucoup de gens rebelles, de vains discoureurs et de séducteurs,
11 auxquels il faut fermer la bouche. Ils bouleversent des familles entières, enseignant pour un gain honteux ce qu’on ne doit pas enseigner.
