Titus 3:10, 11
Warn a divisive person once,
and then warn them a second time.
After that, have nothing to do with them. You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

7 qualifications for deacons as found in Titus 3
Titus 3:8-13 In the same way, deacons are to be
worthy of respect,
sincere,
not indulging in much wine,
and not pursuing dishonest gain.
They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.
A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well.
Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
15 qualifications for elders as set out in Titus 1
Titus 1:6-9 An elder must be blameless,
faithful to his wife,
a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
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.
Rather, he must be hospitable,
one who loves what is good,
who is self-controlled,
upright,
holy
and disciplined.
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.
