Titus 1:1
|
|
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus
Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth
which is according to godliness, |
|
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:2
|
|
in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot
lie, promised before times eternal; |
| |
|
|
|
Titus 1:3
|
|
but in his own seasons manifested his word in
the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our
Saviour; |
| |
|
|
|
Titus 1:4
|
|
to
Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father
and Christ Jesus our Saviour. |
| |
|
|
|
Titus 1:5
|
|
For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou
shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every
city, as I gave thee charge; |
| |
|
|
|
Titus 1:6
|
|
if any man is blameless, the husband of one
wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly. |
| |
|
|
|
Titus 1:7
|
|
For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward;
not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy
lucre; |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:8
|
|
but given to hospitality, as lover of good,
sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled; |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:9
|
|
holding to the faithful word which is according
to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict
the gainsayers. |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:10
|
|
For there are many unruly men, vain talkers
and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision, |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:11
|
|
whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow
whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:12
|
|
One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said,
Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons. |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:13
|
|
This testimony is true. For which cause reprove
them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:14
|
|
not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments
of men who turn away from the truth. |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:15
|
|
To the pure all things are pure: but to them
that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their
conscience are defiled. |
|
|
|
|
Titus 1:16
|
|
They profess that they know God; but by their
works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work
reprobate. |
