Titus Chapter 1
Tit 1:1 Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the full knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Tit 1:2 upon hope of eternal life which God, Who cannot lie, promised before eternal times,
Tit 1:3 but in His own seasons manifested His word in a proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
Tit 1:4 to Titus, a true child according to the common faith: grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Tit 1:5 For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;
Tit 1:6 if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children not in accusation of rioting, or unruly.
Tit 1:7 For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain;
Tit 1:8 but hospitable, a lover of good, sober-minded, righteous, pious, temperate;
Tit 1:9 holding fast the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the healthful doctrine, and to convict those who contradict.
Tit 1:10 For there are many unruly men, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Tit 1:11 whom it is needful to reduce to silence: who, indeed, are overthrowing whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Tit 1:12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always false, evil beasts, idle gluttons."
Tit 1:13 This testimony is true. For which cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Tit 1:14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Tit 1:15 To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience have become defiled.
Tit 1:16 They profess to know God; but by their works they deny Him; being abominable, and disobedient, and for every good work worthless.
