A.T. Robertson Commentary Titus 1:7

"For the bishop must be blameless, as God`s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;" — Titus 1:7 (ASV)

The bishop (τον επισκοπον). Same office as "elder" in 1:5. "Elder is the title, oversight is the function" (B. Weiss).

As God's steward (ως θεου οικονομον). See 1 Corinthians 4:1f. for Paul's idea of the bishop (elder) as God's steward (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:17; Colossians 1:25; Ephesians 3:2; 1 Timothy 1:4).

Not self-willed (μη αυθαδη). Old word (from αυτοσ, ηδομα), self-pleasing, arrogant. In N.T. only here and 2 Peter 2:10.

Not soon angry (οργιλον). Old adjective from οργη (anger). Here only in N.T. Vulgate,

iracundum. For "brawler" and "striker" see 1 Timothy 3:2.

Not greedy of filthy lucre (αισχροκερδη). "Not greedy of shameful gain." Used of deacons in 1 Timothy 3:8, αφιλαργυρον used of elders in 1 Timothy 3:3.
