Titus 1:6

[The church needs leadership. The biblical model always points to shared leadership: Jesus sent out his disciples two by two; there are five ministries in Eph. 4:11; church leaders are always mentioned in the plural, see Acts 20:17. The Greek word for church leader is episkopos (singular) – “one who watches over” and describes the task of a church leader. The same men from Ephesus who are called elders in Acts 20:17, Gk. presbyteros (plural), are called episkopous (plural) in Acts 20:28. Here too, in the letter to Titus, both of these Greek words are used synonymously, see verses 5 and 7.]
An elder (Gk. presbyteros) must be
blameless,
[The leader must have a good reputation both inside and outside the congregation. This does not mean that he is sinless. It is about an attitude where the leader is quick to ask God and people for forgiveness. It is about a life that is not marred by scandals and unresolved disputes. A tree is known by its fruit, see Matt. 7:15–20.] the husband of one wife,
[It is likely that the concept of “the husband of one wife” refers to fidelity to his spouse and someone who does not flirt with other women. The corresponding term “one man's wife” is used in 1 Tim 5:9 about women. In the same passage, Paul urges younger widows to remarry after their husband's death, see 1 Tim 5:14; Rom. 7:2–3; 1 Cor. 7:39. Paul himself was unmarried, see 1 Cor. 7:7–8, and his recommendations, see 1 Cor. 7:1; 7:32–35, seem to suggest that an unmarried man is also qualified.] have believing (faithful) children
who cannot be accused of being wild [literally: “unrighteousness” – Gk. asotia wild living; a destructive and dissolute life without salvation and protection] or rebellious (rebellious, defiant).
