Return to Index

Chapter 1

1


 

  Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,  

 

 

-

2


 

  upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages,  

 

 

-

3


 

  (and He manifested in proper times His word,) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour,  

 

 

-

4


 

  to Titus -- true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!  

 

 

-

5


 

  For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee;  

 

 

-

6


 

  if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate --  

 

 

-

7


 

  for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre;  

 

 

-

8


 

  but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, self-controlled,  

 

 

-

9


 

  holding -- according to the teaching -- to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict;  

 

 

-

10


 

  for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers -- especially they of the circumcision --  

 

 

-

11


 

  whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre's sake.  

 

 

-

12


 

  A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said -- 'Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!'  

 

 

-

13


 

  this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,  

 

 

-

14


 

  not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;  

 

 

-

15


 

  all things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and to the defiled and unstedfast [is] nothing pure, but of them defiled [are] even the mind and the conscience;  

 

 

-

16


 

  God they profess to know, and in the works they deny [Him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.
