TITUS
|
| 001:001
| 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;
|
| 001:002
| In hope of eternal
life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
|
| 001:003
| But hath in due
times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed
unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
|
| 001:004
| To Titus, mine own
son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
|
| 001:005
| 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:
|
| 001:006
| If any be blameless,
the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of
riot or unruly.
|
| 001:007
| 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;
|
| 001:008
| But a lover of
hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
|
| 001:009
| 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.
|
| 001:010
| For there are many
unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the
circumcision:
|
| 001:011
| Whose mouths must be
stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they
ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
|
| 001:012
| One of themselves,
even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars,
evil beasts, slow bellies.
|
| 001:013
| This witness is
true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the
faith;
|
| 001:014
| Not giving heed to
Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
|
| 001:015
| 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.
|
| 001:016
| They profess that
they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and
disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
2
|
| 002:001
| But speak thou the
things which become sound doctrine:
|
| 002:002
| That the aged men be
sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
|
| 002:003
| The aged women
likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not
false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
|
| 002:004
| That they may teach
the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their
children,
|
| 002:005
| To be discreet,
chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands,
that the word of God be not blasphemed.
|
| 002:006
| Young men likewise
exhort to be sober minded.
|
| 002:007
| In all things
shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing
uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
|
| 002:008
| 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.
|
| 002:009
| Exhort servants to
be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all
things; not answering again;
|
| 002:010
| Not purloining, but
shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God
our Saviour in all things.
|
| 002:011
| For the grace of God
that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
|
| 002:012
| Teaching us that,
denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world;
|
| 002:013
| Looking for that
blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ;
|
| 002:014
| Who gave himself for
us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto
himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
|
| 002:015
| These things speak,
and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise
thee.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
3
|
| 003:001
| Put them in mind to
be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to
be ready to every good work,
|
| 003:002
| To speak evil of no
man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all
men.
|
| 003:003
| For we ourselves
also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers
lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and
hating one another.
|
| 003:004
| But after that the
kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
|
| 003:005
| 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;
|
| 003:006
| Which he shed on us
abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
|
| 003:007
| That being justified
by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of
eternal life.
|
| 003:008
| 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.
|
| 003:009
| But avoid foolish
questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about
the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
|
| 003:010
| A man that is an
heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
|
| 003:011
| Knowing that he that
is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
|
| 003:012
| When I shall send
Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to
Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
|
| 003:013
| Bring Zenas the
lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be
wanting unto them.
|
| 003:014
| And let our's also
learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not
unfruitful.
|
| 003:015
| All that are with me
salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with
you all. Amen.
