(Tit 1:1) Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; (Tit 1:2) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (Tit 1:3) But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; (Tit 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. (Tit 1:5) 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: (Tit 1:6) If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. (Tit 1:7) 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; (Tit 1:8) But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; (Tit 1:9) 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. (Tit 1:10) For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: (Tit 1:11) Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucres sake. (Tit 1:12) One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. (Tit 1:13) This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; (Tit 1:14) Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. (Tit 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. (Tit 1:16) They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. (Tit 2:1) But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: (Tit 2:2) That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. (Tit 2:3) The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; (Tit 2:4) That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, (Tit 2:5) To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (Tit 2:6) Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. (Tit 2:7) In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, (Tit 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. (Tit 2:9) Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; (Tit 2:10) Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. (Tit 2:11) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, (Tit 2:12) Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (Tit 2:13) Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Tit 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. (Tit 2:15) These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
