Titus1:6-9 (NIVUK, NLT) Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good  (https://www.biblegateway.com/)

6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children are trustworthy and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 

7 Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless – not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 

8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 

9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. 

(Characteristics: blameless, not arrogant, live wisely, faithful, children are trustworthy & obedient, not overbearing, patient, not heavy drinker, not violent, honest, hospitable, love what is good, self-controlled, just, god-fearing upright, holy, disciplined, well versed in bible’s contents, encouraging).

Stumbling - Christian Verses

Stumbing (NIV-16) https://www.biblegateway.com/ Search (9 Jul 2020)

1. Romans 14:13-15 Weak and Strong - 13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling-block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [you eat] is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.

2. 1 Corinthians 8:7-13 Concerning Food Offered to Idols – 7 But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idolatry that when they eat food that has been offered to an idol, their conscience becomes contaminated because it is weak. 8 However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat food that has been offered to an idol, and no better off if we do. 13 Therefore, if food that I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, in order to keep my brother from stumbling.
