Tit 01:05 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 01:06 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. Tit 01:07 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 01:08 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; Tit 01:09 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 01:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Tit 01:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. Tit 01:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. Tit 01:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Tit 01:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Tit 01:15 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 01:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him , being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus Chapter Two Tit 02:01 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: Tit 02:02 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. Tit 02:03 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 02:04 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, Tit 02:05 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Tit 02:06 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. Tit 02:07 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Tit 02:08 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 02:09 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things ; not answering again; Tit 02:10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Tit 02:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Tit 02:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Tit 02:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Tit 02:14 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 02:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. Titus Chapter Three Tit 03:01 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, Tit 03:02 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men. Tit 03:03 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 03:04 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Tit 03:05 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 03:06 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Tit 03:07 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Tit 03:08 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 03:09 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Tit 03:10 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; Tit 03:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. Tit 03:12 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 03:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. Tit 03:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. Tit 03:15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
