Return to Index

Chapter 1

1


 

  Paul, bondman of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ according to [the] faith of God's elect, and knowledge of [the] truth which [is] according to piety;  

 

 

--

2


 

  in [the] hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time,  

 

 

--

3


 

  but has manifested in its own due season his word, in [the] proclamation with which I have been entrusted, according to [the] commandment of our Saviour God;  

 

 

--

4


 

  to Titus, my own child according to [the] faith common [to us]: Grace and peace from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Saviour.  

 

 

--

5


 

  For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest go on to set right what remained [unordered], and establish elders in each city, as I had ordered thee:  

 

 

--

6


 

  if any one be free from all charge [against him], husband of one wife, having believing children not accused of excess or unruly.  

 

 

--

7


 

  For the overseer must be free from all charge [against him] as God's steward; not headstrong, not passionate, not disorderly through wine, not a striker, not seeking gain by base means;  

 

 

--

8


 

  but hospitable, a lover of goodness, discreet, just, pious, temperate,  

 

 

--

9


 

  clinging to the faithful word according to the doctrine taught, that he may be able both to encourage with sound teaching and refute gainsayers.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For there are many and disorderly vain speakers and deceivers of people's minds, specially those of [the] circumcision,  

 

 

--

11


 

  who must have their mouths stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which ought not [to be taught] for the sake of base gain.  

 

 

--

12


 

  One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.  

 

 

--

13


 

  This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,  

 

 

--

14


 

  not turning [their] minds to Jewish fables and commandments of men turning away from the truth.  

 

 

--

15


 

  All things [are] pure to the pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing [is] pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.  

 

 

--

16


 

  They profess to know God, but in works deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and found worthless as to every good work.  

 

 

--

Titus 2
