11  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 .

12  In hope of eternal life which God that cannot lie promised 
before the world began .

13  But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching 
which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God 
our Saviour .

14  To Titus mine own son after the common faith Grace mercy and 
peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour .

15  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 .

16  If any be blameless the husband of one wife having faithful 
children not accused of riot or unruly .

17  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 .

18  But a lover of hospitality a lover of good men sober just 
holy temperate .

19  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 .

110  For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers 
specially they of the circumcision .

111  Whose mouths must be stopped who subvert whole houses 
teaching things which they ought not for filthy lucre's sake .

112  One of themselves even a prophet of their own said The 
Cretians are alway liars evil beasts slow bellies .

113  This witness is true Wherefore rebuke them sharply that 
they may be sound in the faith .

114  Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men 
that turn from the truth .

115  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 .

116  They profess that they know God but in works they deny him 
being abominable and disobedient and unto every good work 
reprobate .

* 21  But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine .

22  That the aged men be sober grave temperate sound in faith in 
charity in patience .

23  The aged women likewise that they be in behaviour as 
becometh holiness not false accusers not given to much wine 
teachers of good things .

24  That they may teach the young women to be sober to love 
their husbands to love their children .

25  To be discreet chaste keepers at home good obedient to their 
own husbands that the word of God be not blasphemed .

26  Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded .

27  In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works in 
doctrine shewing uncorruptness gravity sincerity .

28  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 .

29  Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters and to 
please them well in all things not answering again .

210  Not purloining but shewing all good fidelity that they may 
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things .

211  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared 
to all men .

212  Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we 
should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world .

213  Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of 
the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ .

214  Who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all 
iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people zealous of 
good works .

215  These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority 
Let no man despise thee .

* 31  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and 
powers to obey magistrates to be ready to every good work .

32  To speak evil of no man to be no brawlers but gentle shewing 
all meekness unto all men .

33  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish disobedient 
deceived serving divers lusts and pleasures living in malice and 
envy hateful and hating one another .

34  But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour 
toward man appeared .

35  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 .

36  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our 
Saviour .

37  That being justified by his grace we should be made heirs 
according to the hope of eternal life .

38  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 .

39  But avoid foolish questions and genealogies and contentions 
and strivings about the law for they are unprofitable and vain .

310  A man that is an heretick after the first and second 
admonition reject .

311  Knowing that he that is such is subverted and sinneth being 
condemned of himself .

312  When I shall send Artemas unto thee or Tychicus be diligent 
to come unto me to Nicopolis for I have determined there to 
winter .

313  Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey 
diligently that nothing be wanting unto them .

314  And let ours also learn to maintain good works for 
necessary uses that they be not unfruitful .

315  All that are with me salute thee Greet them that love us in 
the faith Grace be with you all Amen .
