The Letter Of Paul The Apostle To Titus
 
   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 has 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 you in Crete, that you should set in order
   the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had
   appointed you:
 
   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 self
   willed, 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 has been taught, that he may
   be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the
   opponents.
 
   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 always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
 
   1:13 This witness is true. Therefore 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 you the things which become sound doctrine: 2:2 That the
   aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in
   patience.
 
   2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes
   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 yourself 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 talking back;
 
   2:10 Not stealing, 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 brings salvation has 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 you.
 
   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 different 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 you 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 a heretic after the first and second admonition
   reject;
 
   3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being
   condemned of himself.
 
   3:12 When I shall send Areemas unto you, 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 our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary
   uses, that they be not unfruitful.
 
   3:15 All that are with me salute you. Greet them that love us in the
   faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
