001:001 | 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; | |
001:002 | In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised
before the world began; | |
001:003 | But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching,
which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God
our Saviour; | |
001:004 | To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy,
and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our
Saviour. | |
001:005 | 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: | |
001:006 | If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful
children not accused of riot or unruly. | |
001:007 | 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; | |
001:008 | But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just,
holy, temperate; | |
001:009 | 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. | |
001:010 | For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers,
specially they of the circumcision: | |
001:011 | Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. | |
001:012 | One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The
Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. | |
001:013 | This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they
may be sound in the faith; | |
001:014 | Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men,
that turn from the truth. | |
001:015 | 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. | |
001:016 | They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him,
being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work
reprobate. | |
|
| 002:001 | But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: | |
002:002 | That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith,
in charity, in patience. | |
002:003 | The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh
holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers
of good things; | |
002:004 | That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their
husbands, to love their children, | |
002:005 | To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to
their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. | |
002:006 | Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. | |
002:007 | In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in
doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, | |
002:008 | 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. | |
002:009 | Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to
please them well in all things; not answering again; | |
002:010 | Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. | |
002:011 | For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to
all men, | |
002:012 | Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world; | |
002:013 | Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; | |
002:014 | Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous
of good works. | |
002:015 | These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
Let no man despise thee. | |
|
| 003:001 | Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers,
to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, | |
003:002 | To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle,
shewing all meekness unto all men. | |
003:003 | For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice
and envy, hateful, and hating one another. | |
003:004 | But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward
man appeared, | |
003:005 | 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; | |
003:006 | Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our
Saviour; | |
003:007 | That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life. | |
003:008 | 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. | |
003:009 | But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions,
and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and
vain. | |
003:010 | A man that is an heretick after the first and second
admonition reject; | |
003:011 | Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being
condemned of himself. | |
003:012 | When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent
to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to
winter. | |
003:013 | Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey
diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. | |
003:014 | And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary
uses, that they be not unfruitful. | |
003:015 | All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in
the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
