Titus Chapter 1

Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of tlie elect of God, and the knowledge of the truth which is after godliness;
Tit 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Tit 1:3 And he hath in his own times manifested his word, through the preaching wherewith I am entrusted, according to the commandment of God our Savior:
Tit 1:4 To Titus, my own son after the common faith, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Tit 1:5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest set in order the things which are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I appointed thee:
Tit 1:6 If a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not accused of luxury, or unruly.
Tit 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not passionate, not given to wine, not a striker, not desirous of filthy gain:
Tit 1:8 But hospitable, a lover of good men, prudent, just, holy, temperate; Holding fast the faithful word,
Tit 1:9 as he hath been taught, that he may be mighty by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Tit 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision,
Tit 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who overturn whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain.
Tit 1:12 One of themselves, a rophet of their own, hath said, The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.
Tit 1:13 This witness is true; therefore 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 To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their understanding and conscience are defiled.
Tit 1:16 They profess to know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and void of judgment, as to every good work.
