εἴ τίς ἐστιν ἀνέγκλητος

This is the beginning of the description of the character of an elder. Paul assumes that Titus understands that he is to choose men who fit the following description. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “an elder must be blameless” or “any man you choose to be an elder must be without blame”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ἀνέγκλητος

unindictable

To be blameless is to be known as a person who does not do bad things. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state this positively. Alternate translation: “a person who has a good reputation”
