TITUS 1:1 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; TITUS 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; TITUS 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; TITUS 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. TITUS 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: TITUS 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. TITUS 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; TITUS 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; TITUS 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. TITUS 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: TITUS 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. TITUS 1:12 One of themselves, {even} a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians {are} alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. TITUS 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; TITUS 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. TITUS 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. TITUS 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny {him}, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. TITUS 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: TITUS 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. TITUS 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; TITUS 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, TITUS 2:5 {To be} discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. TITUS 2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. TITUS 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine {shewing} uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, TITUS 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. TITUS 2:9 {Exhort} servants to be obedient unto their own masters, {and} to please {them} well in all {things}; not answering again; TITUS 2:10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. TITUS 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, TITUS 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; TITUS 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; TITUS 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. TITUS 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. TITUS 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, TITUS 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, {but} gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. TITUS 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful,{and} hating one another. TITUS 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, TITUS 3:5 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; TITUS 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; TITUS 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. TITUS 3:8 {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. TITUS 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. TITUS 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; TITUS 3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. TITUS 3:12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. TITUS 3:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. TITUS 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. TITUS 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace {be} with you all. Amen.
