τὸν ἐπίσκοπον
the overseer
The word overseer is another name for the same position of spiritual leadership that Paul referred to as “elder” in 1:5. This term focuses on the function of the elder: he oversees the activities and people of the church. Alternate translation: [an elder in charge of God's people]

Θεοῦ οἰκονόμον
˱of˲_God /a/_manager
Paul speaks of the church as if it were God’s household, and the overseer as if he were a servant in charge of managing that household. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a person in charge of taking care of God's church]
μὴ πάροινον

Alternate translation: [not an alcoholic] or [not one who drinks much wine]
μὴ πλήκτην

Alternate translation: [not one who is violent] or [not one who likes to fight]
1:7 A church leader (or An overseer, or A bishop) is a manager of God’s household: See 1:11; 2:2-10; 1 Tim 1:4; 3:4-5, 12, 15; 2 Tim 2:20-21.
• These qualities indicate that an elder should not be running with the Cretan masses (see Titus 1:12).
