Discovery BoxTitus 1:7 
Context1:7 For the overseer 1 must be blameless as one entrusted with God’s work, 2 not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.
Titus 1:9
Context1:9 He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught, 3 so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching 4 and correct those who speak against it.
1 sn The overseer is another term for the same official position of leadership as the “elder.” This is seen in the interchange of the two terms in this passage and in Acts 20:17, 28, as well as in the parallels between these verses and 1 Tim 3:1-7.
2 tn Grk “as God’s steward.”
3 tn Grk “the faithful message in accordance with the teaching” (referring to apostolic teaching).
4 tn Grk “the healthy teaching” (referring to what was just mentioned).
