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