Paul's Greeting to Titus
1 PAUL the servant of God, and an Apostle of JESUS Christ according to the faith of the elect of God and knowledge of the truth: which is according to piety,📜💬📚
2 into the hope of life everlasting, which he promised that lieth not, God, before the secular times:📜💬📚
3 but hath manifested in due times his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the precept of our Saviour God:📜💬📚
4 to Titus my beloved son according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and Christ JESUS our Saviour.📜💬📚
Ordain Priests and Bishops
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest reform the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests by cities, as I also appointed thee:📜💬📚
6 if any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not in the accusation of riot, or not obedient.📜💬📚
7 For a Bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not angry, not given to wine, no striker, not covetous of filthy lucre:📜💬📚
8 but given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:📜💬📚
9 embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to reprove them that gainsay it.📜💬📚
Subverters of Whole Houses
10 For there be many disobedient, vain-speakers, and seducers, especially they that are of the Circumcision.📜💬📚
11 Who must be controlled. Who subvert whole houses, teaching the things they ought not, for filthy lucre.📜💬📚
12 One of them said, their own proper prophet, The Cretensians always liars, naughty beasts, slothful bellies.📜💬📚
Rebuke Believers of Judean Fables and Commandments of Men
13 This testimony is true. For the which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,📜💬📚
14 not attending to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, averting themselves from the truth.📜💬📚
15 All things are clean to the clean: but to the polluted and to infidels nothing is clean: but polluted are both their mind and conscience.📜💬📚
16 They confess that they know God: but in their works they deny, whereas they be abominable and incredulous and to every good work reprobate.📜💬📚
