TIT 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to *3972 *1401 *2316 *0652 *2424 *5547 *2596 the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after *4102 *2316 *1588 *1922 *0225 *3588 *2596 godliness; *2150 2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the *1680 *0166 *2222 *3739 *2316 *0893 *0893 *1861 *4253 world began; *0166 3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is *2398 *2540 *5319 *3056 *1722 *2782 *3739 committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; *4100 *2596 *2003 *2316 *4990 4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, *5103 *1103 *5043 *2596 *2839 *4102 *5485 *1656 *1515 from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. *2316 *3962 *2962 *2424 *5547 *4990 5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order *5127 *5484 *2641 *2914 *1930 *1930 the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had *3007 *2525 *4245 *2596 *4172 appointed thee: *1299 6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful *1487 *1536 *0410 *0435 *3391 *1135 *2192 *4103 children not accused of riot or unruly. *5043 *2724 *0810 *2228 *0506 7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, *1985 *1163 *0410 *3622 *2316 *0829 not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; *3711 *3711 *3943 *3943 *3361 *4131 *0150 *0146 8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, *5382 *5382 *5358 *5358 *4998 *1342 *3741 temperate; *1468 9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be *0472 *0472 *4103 *3056 *1322 able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. *1415 *5198 *1319 *2532 *3870 *1651 *0483 10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they *4183 *0506 *3151 *3151 *5423 *3122 of the circumcision: *4061 11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things *3739 *1993 *1163 *1993 *3748 *0396 *3650 *3624 *1321 which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. *3739 *1163 *0150 *2771 12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are *5100 *0846 *4396 *2398 *2036 *2912 alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. *0104 *5583 *2556 *2342 *0692 *1064 13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be *3778 *3141 *0557 *3739 *1651 *0664 sound in the faith; *5198 *4102 14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn *4337 *2451 *3454 *1785 *0444 *0654 from the truth. *0225 15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and *2513 *3956 *2513 *3392 unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. *0571 *3762 *2513 *2532 *3563 *4893 *3392 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being *3670 *1492 *2316 *2041 *0720 *5607 abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. *0947 *0545 *3956 *0018 *2041 *0096 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: *2980 *3739 *4241 *5198 *1319 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, *4246 *3524 *4586 *4998 *5198 *4102 *0026 in patience. *5281 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, *4247 *4247 *5615 *2688 *2412 *2412 not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; *1228 *1228 *1402 *4183 *3631 *3567 *2567 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, *4494 *3501 *4994 *5362 *5362 to love their children, *5388 *5388 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own *4998 *0053 *3626 *3626 *3626 *0018 *5293 *2398 husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. *0435 *3056 *2316 *0987 6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. *3501 *5615 *3870 *4993 *4993 7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine *3956 *3930 *4572 *5179 *2570 *2041 *1319 shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, *0090 *4587 *0861 8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary *5199 *3056 *0176 *0176 *1727 part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. *1788 *2192 *3367 *5337 *3004 9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please *1401 *5293 *2398 *1203 *1511 them well in all things; not answering again; *2101 *3956 *0488 *0483 10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the *3557 *1731 *3956 *0018 *4102 *2885 doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. *1319 *2316 *4990 *3956 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, *5485 *2316 *4992 *4992 *2014 *3956 *0444 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live *3811 *0720 *0763 *2886 *1939 *2198 soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; *4996 *1346 *2123 *3588 *3568 *0165 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great *4327 *3107 *1680 *1391 *2015 *3173 God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; *2316 *4990 *2424 *5547 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, *3739 *1325 *1438 *3084 *3956 *0458 and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. *2511 *1438 *4041 *2992 *2207 *2570 *2041 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no *5023 *2980 *3870 *1651 *3956 *2003 *3367 man despise thee. *3367 *4065 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey *5279 *5279 *5293 *0746 *1849 *3980 magistrates, to be ready to every good work, *3980 *2092 *3956 *0018 *2041 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all *0987 *0987 *3367 *3367 *0269 *0269 *1933 *1731 *3956 meekness unto all men. *4236 *3956 *0444 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, *2249 *2532 *4218 *0453 *0545 *4105 serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and *1398 *4164 *1939 *2237 *1236 *2549 *5355 *4767 hating one another. *3404 *0240 *0240 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man *3753 *5544 *5363 *2316 *4990 *4314 appeared, *2014 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his *2041 *1343 *3739 *4160 *2596 mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy *1656 *4982 *3067 *3824 *0342 *0040 Ghost; *4151 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; *3739 *1632 *1909 *4146 *1223 *2424 *5547 *4990 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to *1344 *5485 *1096 *2818 *2596 the hope of eternal life. *1680 *0166 *2222 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm *3588 *4103 *3056 *5130 *1014 *1226 constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to *1226 *4100 *2316 *5431 maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. *4291 *2570 *2041 *5023 *2570 *5624 *0444 9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and *4026 *3474 *2214 *1076 *2054 strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. *3163 *3163 *3544 *0512 *3152 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; *0444 *0141 *3326 *3391 *1208 *3559 *3863 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned *1492 *5108 *1612 *0264 *5607 *0843 of himself. *0843 12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come *3752 *3992 *0734 *2228 *5190 *4704 *2064 unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. *3533 *2919 *1563 13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that *4311 *2211 *3544 *0625 *4708 nothing be wanting unto them. *3367 *3007 14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that *2251 *2532 *3129 *4291 *2570 *2041 *0316 *5532 they be not unfruitful. *0175 15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. *3956 *0782 *0782 *5368 *4102 Grace be with you all. Amen. *5485 *3956 *0281 ~~~~~~
