Chapter 1

1 Paul,3972 a servant1401 of God,2316 and1161 an apostle652 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547 according2596 to the faith4102 of God's2316 elect,1588 and2532 the acknowledging1922 of the truth225 which3588 is after2596 godliness;2150

2 In1909 hope1680 of eternal166 life,2222 which3739 God,2316 that cannot lie,893 promised1861 before4253 the world began;166 5550

3 But1161 hath in due2398 times2540 manifested5319 his848 word3056 through1722 preaching,2782 which3739 is committed4100 unto me1473 according2596 to the commandment2003 of God2316 our2257 Savior;4990

4 To Titus,5103 mine own1103 son5043 after2596 the common2839 faith:4102 Grace,5485 mercy,1656 and peace,1515 from575 God2316 the Father3962 and2532 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our2257 Savior.4990

5 For this cause5484 5127 left2641 I thee4571 in1722 Crete,2914 that2443 thou shouldest set in order1930 the things that are wanting,3007 and2532 ordain2525 elders4245 in every city,2596 4172 as5613 I1473 had appointed1299 thee: 4671

6 If any1536 be2076 blameless,410 the husband435 of one3391 wife,1135 having2192 faithful4103 children5043 not3361 accused1722 2724 of riot810 or2228 unruly.506

7 For1063 a bishop1985 must1163 be1511 blameless,410 as5613 the steward3623 of God;2316 not3361 self-willed,829 not3361 soon angry,3711 not3361 given to wine,3943 no3361 striker,4131 not3361 given to filthy lucre;146

8 But235 a lover of hospitality,5382 a lover of good men,5358 sober,4998 just,1342 holy,3741 temperate;1468

9 Holding fast472 the3588 faithful4103 word3056 as he hath been taught,2596 1322 that2443 he may be5600 able1415 by1722 sound5198 doctrine1319 both2532 to exhort3870 and2532 to convince1651 the3588 gainsayers.483

10 For1063 there are1526 many4183 unruly2532 506 and vain talkers3151 and2532 deceivers,5423 especially3122 they3588 of1537 the circumcision: 4061

11 Whose3739 mouths must be stopped,1993 1163 who3748 subvert396 whole3650 houses,3624 teaching1321 things which3739 they ought1163 not,3361 for filthy lucre's sake.5484 150 2771

12 One5100 of1537 themselves,846 even a prophet4396 of their846 own,2398 said,2036 The Cretians2912 are always104 liars,5583 evil2556 beasts,2342 slow692 bellies.1064

13 This3778 witness3141 is2076 true.227 Wherefore1223 3739 156 rebuke1651 them846 sharply,664 that2443 they may be sound5198 in1722 the3588 faith;4102

14 Not3361 giving heed4337 to Jewish2451 fables,3454 and2532 commandments1785 of men,444 that turn from654 the3588 truth.225

15 Unto the3588 pure2513 all things3956 are3303 pure:2513 but1161 unto them3588 that are defiled3392 and2532 unbelieving571 is nothing3762 pure;2513 but235 even2532 their846 mind3563 and2532 conscience4893 is defiled.3392

16 They profess3670 that they know1492 God;2316 but1161 in works2041 they deny720 him, being5607 abominable,947 and2532 disobedient,545 and2532 unto4314 every3956 good18 work2041 reprobate.96

Titus

Chapter 1

1 PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, in the faith of God's elect, and in the knowledge of true godliness;

2 In the hope of eternal life, which the true God promised ages ago;

3 And has in due time revealed his word by our preaching; which preaching has been intrusted to me by the command of God our Saviour;

4 To Titus, a true son in the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father, and the LORD Jesus Christ our Saviour.

5 For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are wanting and ordain elders in every city where there is a need as I had commanded you.

6 Appoint only an elder who is blameless, and the husband of one wife, and one who has faithful children who do not swear and who are not intemperate.

7 For an elder must be blameless, as a steward of God; and he must not be self-willed, not quick tempered, not excessive in the use of wine, not too ready to strike with his hand, not a lover of filthy lucre;

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good things, sober, just, pious, and temperate of worldly desires;

9 Holding fast the doctrine of faith, so that he may be able to comfort by his sound doctrine, and to rebuke those who are proud.

10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers of the people, especially those who belong to the circumcision:

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, for they corrupt many families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of filthy lucre.

12 One of them, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cre'tians are always liars, vicious beasts with empty bellies.

13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

14 And not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who hate the truth.

15 To the pure, all things are pure: but nothing is pure to those who are defiled and faithless; even their mind and conscience is defiled.

16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny him, and they are abominable, and disobedient, condemning every kind of good work.

6 Appoint only an elder who is blameless, and the husband of one wife, and one who has faithful children who do not swear and who are not intemperate.

7 For1063 a bishop1985 must1163 be1511 blameless,410 as5613 the steward3623 of God;2316 not3361 self-willed,829 not3361 soon angry,3711 not3361 given to wine,3943 no3361 striker,4131 not3361 given to filthy lucre;146

9 Holding fast the doctrine of faith, so that he may be able to comfort by his sound doctrine, and to rebuke those who are proud.

10 For1063 there are1526 many4183 unruly2532 506 and vain talkers3151 and2532 deceivers,5423 especially3122 they3588 of1537 the circumcision: 4061

10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers of the people, especially those who belong to the circumcision:

11 Whose3739 mouths must be stopped,1993 1163 who3748 subvert396 whole3650 houses,3624 teaching1321 things which3739 they ought1163 not,3361 for filthy lucre's sake.5484 150 2771

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, for they corrupt many families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of filthy lucre.

12 One5100 of1537 themselves,846 even a prophet4396 of their846 own,2398 said,2036 The Cretians2912 are always104 liars,5583 evil2556 beasts,2342 slow692 bellies.1064

12 One of them, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cre'tians are always liars, vicious beasts with empty bellies.

13 This3778 witness3141 is2076 true.227 Wherefore1223 3739 156 rebuke1651 them846 sharply,664 that2443 they may be sound5198 in1722 the3588 faith;4102

13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

14 Not3361 giving heed4337 to Jewish2451 fables,3454 and2532 commandments1785 of men,444 that turn from654 the3588 truth.225

14 And not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who hate the truth.

15 Unto the3588 pure2513 all things3956 are3303 pure:2513 but1161 unto them3588 that are defiled3392 and2532 unbelieving571 is nothing3762 pure;2513 but235 even2532 their846 mind3563 and2532 conscience4893 is defiled.3392

15 To the pure, all things are pure: but nothing is pure to those who are defiled and faithless; even their mind and conscience is defiled.

16 They profess3670 that they know1492 God;2316 but1161 in works2041 they deny720 him, being5607 abominable,947 and2532 disobedient,545 and2532 unto4314 every3956 good18 work2041 reprobate.96
