Titus [Titus 1:6-9](./06.md) gives the qualifications for the office of elder. 1 Timothy 3 also gives these qualifications.

|
##### The way an action occurs #####
|
||
|
|
There are several verbs included in this chapter (should, may, must) which describe the way in which an action occurs. These verbs have different levels of force attached to them. The subtle differences may be difficult to translate. The UDB has chosen to translate these verbs more generically.
