5For this <5127> cause <5484> left I <2641> (5627) thee <4571> in <1722> Crete <2914>_, that <2443> thou shouldest set in order <1930> (5672) the things that are wanting <3007> (5723)_, and <2532> ordain <2525> (5661) elders <4245> in every <2596> city <4172>_, as <5613> I <1473> had appointed <1299> (5668) thee <4671>_: {wanting: or, left undone}
