Titus 1:4
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
3 In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6 An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
