Tit 1:1 Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of the elect of God and full knowledge of the truth according to godliness,
Tit 1:2 on hope of eternal life which the God who does not lie promised before the eternal times,
Tit 1:3 but revealed in its own times in a proclamation of His Word, with which I was entrusted by the command of our Savior God;
Tit 1:4 to Titus, a true child according to our common faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Tit 1:5 For this cause I left you in Crete, that you might set in order the things lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I ordered you:
Tit 1:6 If anyone is blameless, husband of one wife, having faithful children, not in accusation of loose behavior, or disobedient,
Tit 1:7 (for the overseer must be blameless as a steward of God), not self-pleasing, not prone to anger, not given to wine, not a quarreler, not greedy of ill gain;
Tit 1:8 but hospitable, a lover of good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
Tit 1:9 clinging to the faithful Word according to the teaching, that he may be able both to encourage by sound doctrine and to convict the ones contradicting.
Tit 1:10 For there are indeed many insubordinate men, empty talkers and mind-deluders, especially those of the circumcision,
Tit 1:11 whose mouth you must stop, who overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not for the sake of ill gain.
Tit 1:12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said: Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.
Tit 1:13 This testimony is true; for which cause convict them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
Tit 1:14 not listening to Jewish myths and commandments of men, having turned away from the truth.
Tit 1:15 Truly, all things are pure to the pure, but to the ones being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience has been defiled.
Tit 1:16 They profess to know God, but by their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and worthless to every good work.
CHAPTER 2
Tit 2:1 But you speak things which become sound doctrine:
Tit 2:2 aged men to be temperate, sensible, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
Tit 2:3 aged women likewise in reverent behavior, not slanderers, not being enslaved by much wine, teachers of good,
Tit 2:4 that they might train the young women to be lovers of husbands, lovers of children,
Tit 2:5 discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, subject to their own husbands, so that the Word of God may not be blasphemed,
Tit 2:6 the younger men in the same way exhort to be discreet;
Tit 2:7 holding forth yourself as a pattern of good works about all things in doctrine, in purity, sensibleness, incorruption,
Tit 2:8 in sound speech, without condemnation, that he of opposition may he ashamed, having nothing bad to say about you.
Tit 2:9 Let slaves be subject to their own masters, well-pleasing in all things, not speaking against them,
Tit 2:10 not stealing, but showing all good faith, that they may adorn the doctrine of our Savior God in all things.
Tit 2:11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,
Tit 2:12 instructing us that having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live discreetly and righteously and godly in the present age,
Tit 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
Tit 2:14 who gave Himself on our behalf, "that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify a special people for Himself," zealous of good works.
Tit 2:15 Speak these things and exhort and convict with all authority. Let no one despise you.
CHAPTER 3
Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready in every good work,
Tit 3:2 to speak evil of no one, not quarrelsome, but forbearing, having displayed all meekness to all men.
Tit 3:3 For we also once were senseless, disobedient, being led astray, slaving for various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
Tit 3:4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
Tit 3:5 not by works in righteousness which we had done, but according to His mercy, He saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
Tit 3:6 whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ, our Savior;
Tit 3:7 that being justified by His grace, we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Tit 3:8 Faithful is the Word, and concerning these things I desire you strongly to affirm that the ones believing God should take thought to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Tit 3:9 But keep back from foolish questionings and genealogies and arguments and quarrels of law, for they are unprofitable and vain.
Tit 3:10 After the first and second warning, avoid a man of heresy,
Tit 3:11 knowing that such a one has been perverted and sins, being self-condemned.
Tit 3:12 When I shall send Artemas to you or Tychicus, hasten to come to me at Nicopolis. For I have decided to winter there.
Tit 3:13 Diligently set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that nothing be lacking to them.
Tit 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be without fruit.
Tit 3:15 All those with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
