Titus 1:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

4 To Titus, my loyal child in the faith we share:

Grace[a] and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

Titus in Crete

5 I left you behind in Crete for this reason, so that you should put in order what remained to be done, and should appoint elders in every town, as I directed you: 6 someone who is blameless, married only once,[b] whose children are believers, not accused of debauchery and not rebellious.
