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;


TIT-1:2  In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,

promised before the world began;


TIT-1:3  But hath in due times manifested his word through

preaching, which is committed unto me according to the

commandment of God our Saviour;


TIT-1:4  To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith:Grace,

mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus

Christ our Saviour.


TIT-1:5  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:


TIT-1:6  If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having

faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.


TIT-1:7  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;


TIT-1:8  But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober,

just, holy, temperate;


TIT-1:9  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.


TIT-1:10  For there are many unruly and vain talkers and

deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:


TIT-1:11  Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,

 teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.


TIT-1:12  One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said,

 The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.


TIT-1:13  This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,

that they may be sound in the faith;


TIT-1:14  Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of

men, that turn from the truth.


TIT-1:15  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.


TIT-1:16  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:


TIT-2:2  That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in

faith, in charity, in patience.


TIT-2:3  The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as

becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine,

teachers of good things;


TIT-2:4  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to

love their husbands, to love their children,


TIT-2:5  [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good,

obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not

blasphemed.


TIT-2:6  Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.


TIT-2:7  In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works:

in doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,


TIT-2:8  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.


TIT-2:9  [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters,

 [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering

again;


TIT-2:10  Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that

they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.


TIT-2:11  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath

appeared to all men,


TIT-2:12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly

lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this

present world;


TIT-2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious

appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;


TIT-2:14  Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from

all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous

of good works.


TIT-2:15  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,


TIT-3:2  To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but]

gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.


TIT-3:3  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,

disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures,

living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.


TIT-3:4  But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour

toward man appeared,


TIT-3:5  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;


TIT-3:6  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our

Saviour;


TIT-3:7  That being justified by his grace, we should be made

heirs according to the hope of eternal life.


TIT-3:8  [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.


TIT-3:9  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and

contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are

unprofitable and vain.


TIT-3:10  A man that is an heretic after the first and second

admonition reject;


TIT-3:11  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth,

 being condemned of himself.


TIT-3:12  When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be

diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis:for I have determined

there to winter.


TIT-3:13  Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey

diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.


TIT-3:14  And let ours also learn to maintain good works for

necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.


TIT-3:15  All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love

us in the faith. Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
