1:1 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;
1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,
promised before the world began;
1:3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching,
which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God
our Saviour;
1:4 To Titus, mine] own son after the common faith:Grace, mercy,
and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our
Saviour.
1:5 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:
1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having
faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
1:7 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;
1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober,
just, holy, temperate;
1:9 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.
1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers,
specially they of the circumcision:
1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
1:12 One of themselves, even] a prophet of their own, said, The
Cretians are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that
they may be sound in the faith;
1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men,
that turn from the truth.
1:15 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.
1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny
him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good
work reprobate.
2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in
faith, in charity, in patience.
2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be] in behaviour as
becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine,
teachers of good things;
2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love
their husbands, to love their children,
2:5 To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to
their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
2:7 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works:in
doctrine showing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
2:8 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.
2:9 Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters,
and] to please them] well in all things]; not answering again;
2:10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they
may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared
to all men,
2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world;
2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of
good works.
2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all
authority. Let no man despise thee.
3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers,
to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but] gentle,
showing all meekness unto all men.
3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice
and envy, hateful, and] hating one another.
3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour
toward man appeared,
3:5 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;
3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our
Saviour;
3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life.
3:8 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.
3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and
contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are
unprofitable and vain.
3:10 A man that is an heretic after the first and second
admonition reject;
3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth,
being condemned of himself.
3:12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be
diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis:for I have determined
there to winter.
3:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey
diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for
necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us
in the faith. Grace be] with you all. Amen.
