01:01 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of
the truth which is after godliness;
01:02 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,
promised before the world began;
01:03 But hath in due times manifested his word through
preaching, which is committed unto me according to the
commandment of God our Saviour;
01:04 To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace,
mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ our Saviour.
01:05 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest
set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in
every city, as I had appointed thee:
01:06 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having
faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
01:07 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God;
not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker,
not given to filthy lucre;
01:08 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober,
just, holy, temperate;
01:09 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught,
that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to
convince the gainsayers.
01:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers,
specially they of the circumcision:
01:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
01:12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said,
The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
01:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that
they may be sound in the faith;
01:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men,
that turn from the truth.
01:15 Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that
are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their
mind and conscience is defiled.
01:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny
[him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good
work reprobate.
02:01 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
02:02 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in
faith, in charity, in patience.
02:03 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as
becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine,
teachers of good things;
02:04 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love
their husbands, to love their children,
02:05 [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient
to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
02:06 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
02:07 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in
doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
02:08 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is
of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say
of you.
02:09 [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters,
[and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
02:10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they
may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
02:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath
appeared to all men,
02:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world;
02:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
02:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of
good works.
02:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all
authority. Let no man despise thee.
03:01 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and
powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
03:02 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle,
showing all meekness unto all men.
03:03 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice
and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.
03:04 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour
toward man appeared,
03:05 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
03:06 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our
Saviour;
03:07 That being justified by his grace, we should be made
heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
03:08 [This is] a faithful saying, and these things I will that
thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God
might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good
and profitable unto men.
03:09 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and
contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are
unprofitable and vain.
03:10 A man that is an heretic after the first and second
admonition reject;
03:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth,
being condemned of himself.
03:12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be
diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined
there to winter.
03:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey
diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
03:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for
necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
03:15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us
in the faith. Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
