Titus


 
Chapter 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;
    2.In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began;
    3.But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
    4.To Titus, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
    5.For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set the things that are wanting in order, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed you.
    6.If any are blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of rioting or unruliness;
    7.For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angered, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
    8.But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
    9.Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
    10.For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision,
    11.Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
    12.One of them, even a prophet of their own, said, "The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies."
    13.This witness is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
    14.Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
    15.To the pure, all things are pure; but to them who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
    16.They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.

 

Chapter 2
  1. But speak the things which become sound doctrine,
  2. That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
  3. The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
  4. That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
  5. To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God is not blasphemed.
  6. Exhort young men to likewise be sober minded,
  7. In all things showing yourself a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing uncorruption, gravity, sincerity,
  8. Sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about you.
  9. Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
  10. Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
  11. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
  12. Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
  13. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;
  14. Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
  15. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you.
