Titus Chapter 1

Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, but an apostle of Christ Jesus, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledgment of truth that is according to godliness,
Tit 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God who lies not promised before the times of the ages,
Tit 1:3 but in his own times manifested his word in what is preached, with which I was intrusted according to the appointment of our Saviour God,
Tit 1:4 to Titus, my true son according to the common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Tit 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou mightest further set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
Tit 1:6 if any one is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children that are not accused of riotous living, nor unruly.
Tit 1:7 For the bishop must be blameless as the steward of God, not self-willed, not soon angry, not fond of wine, no striker, not eager after base gain,
Tit 1:8 but a lover of hospitality, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, holy, having self-control,
Tit 1:9 holding fast the faithful word according to the teaching, that he may be able, in the teaching that gives health, both to exhort and convince the gainsayers.
Tit 1:10 For there are many and unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision,
Tit 1:11 whose mouths must be stopped: who subvert whole houses, teaching things that they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Tit 1:12 Some one of them, a prophet of their own, has said: The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy bellies.
Tit 1:13 This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them with severity, that they may be healthy in the faith,
Tit 1:14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that 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 conscience are defiled.
Tit 1:16 God they profess to know, but in their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient and, with regard to every good work, disapproved.
