If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of rebellion or unruly.
All Commentaries on Titus 1:6 Go To Titus 1
Jerome
AD 420
“A bishop then must be blameless.” The same thing that he says to Titus, “if any be blameless.” All the virtues are comprehended in this one word; thus he seems to require an impossible perfection. For if every sin, every idle word, is deserving of blame, who is there in this world that is sinless and blameless? Still he who is chosen to be shepherd of the church must be one compared with whom other men are rightly regarded as but a flock of sheep.
