When appointing older men in the congregations on the island of Crete, Titus was told to look for “any man free from accusation, a husband of one wife, having believing children that were not under a charge of debauchery nor unruly. ”
Kui Tiitus Kreeta saare kogudustesse kogudusevanemaid määras, kästi tal otsida selliseid mehi, kes on „laitmatu [d] isik [ud], ühe naise [mehed], kellel on usklikud lapsed, nõnda et neile ei saa ette heita kõlvatut elu ega kangekaelsust ”.
