Titus   1



 1. Paul <3972>, a servant <1401> of God <2316>, and an apostle 
<652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, according <2596> to the 
faith <4102> of God's <2316> elect <1588>, and the acknowledging 
<1922> of the truth <225> which <3588> is after <2596> godliness 
<2150>;



 2  In hope <1680> of eternal <166> life <2222>, which <3739> 
God <2316>, that cannot <893> lie <893>, promised <1861> before 
<4253> the world <166> began;



 3  But hath in due <2398> times <2540> manifested <5319> his 
word <3056> through <1722> preaching <2782>, which <3739> is 
committed <4100> unto me according <2596> to the commandment 
<2003> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990>;



 4  To Titus <5103>, [mine] own <1103> son <5043> after <2596> 
the common <2839> faith <4102>: Grace <5485>, mercy <1656>, 
[and] peace <1515>, from God <2316> the Father <3962> and the 
Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Saviour <4990>.



 5. For this <5127> cause <5484> left <2641> I thee in Crete 
<2914>, that thou shouldest set <1930> in order <1930> the 
things that are wanting <3007>, and ordain <2525> elders <4245> 
in every <2596> city <4172>, as I had appointed <1299> thee:



 6. If <1487> any <1536> be blameless <410>, the husband <435> 
of one <3391> wife <1135>, having <2192> faithful <4103> 
children <5043> not accused <1722> <2724> of riot <810> or 
<2228> unruly <506>.



 7  For a bishop <1985> must <1163> be blameless <410>, as the 
steward <3622> of God <2316>; not selfwilled <829>, not soon 
<3711> angry <3711>, not given <3943> to wine <3943>, no <3361> 
striker <4131>, not given to filthy <150> lucre <146>;



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



 9  Holding <472> fast <472> the faithful <4103> word <3056> as 
he hath been taught <1322>, that he may be able <1415> by sound 
<5198> doctrine <1319> both <2532> to exhort <3870> and to 
convince <1651> the gainsayers <483>.



 10  For there are many <4183> unruly <506> and vain <3151> 
talkers <3151> and deceivers <5423>, specially <3122> they of 
the circumcision <4061>:



 11  Whose <3739> mouths <1993> must <1163> be stopped <1993>, 
who <3748> subvert <396> whole <3650> houses <3624>, teaching 
<1321> things which <3739> they ought <1163> not, for filthy 
<150> lucre's <2771> sake.



 12  One <5100> of themselves <846>, [even] a prophet <4396> of 
their own <2398>, said <2036>, The Cretians <2912> [are] alway 
<104> liars <5583>, evil <2556> beasts <2342>, slow <692> 
bellies <1064>.



 13  This <3778> witness <3141> is true <227>. Wherefore <3739> 
rebuke <1651> them sharply <664>, that they may be sound <5198> 
in the faith <4102>;



 14  Not giving heed <4337> to Jewish <2451> fables <3454>, and 
commandments <1785> of men <444>, that turn <654> from the truth 
<225>.



 15  Unto the pure <2513> all <3956> things [are] pure <2513>: 
but unto them that are defiled <3392> and unbelieving <571> [is] 
nothing <3762> pure <2513>; but even <2532> their mind <3563> 
and conscience <4893> is defiled <3392>.



 16  They profess <3670> that they know <1492> God <2316>; but 
in works <2041> they deny <720> [him], being <5607> abominable 
<947>, and disobedient <545>, and unto every <3956> good <18> 
work <2041> reprobate <96>.



Titus   2



 1. But speak <2980> thou the things which <3739> become <4241> 
sound <5198> doctrine <1319>:



 2  That the aged <4246> men be sober <3524>, grave <4586>, 
temperate <4998>, sound <5198> in faith <4102>, in charity <26>, 
in patience <5281>.



 3  The aged <4247> women <4247> likewise <5615>, that [they be] 
in behaviour <2688> as becometh <2412> holiness <2412>, not 
false <1228> accusers <1228>, not given <1402> to much <4183> 
wine <3631>, teachers <2567> of good <2567> things;



 4  That they may teach <4994> the young <3501> women to be 
sober <4994>, to love <5362> their husbands <5362>, to love 
<5388> their children <5388>,



 5  [To be] discreet <4998>, chaste <53>, keepers <3626> at 
<3626> home <3626>, good <18>, obedient <5293> to their own 
<2398> husbands <435>, that the word <3056> of God <2316> be not 
blasphemed <987>.



 6  Young <3501> men likewise <5615> exhort <3870> to be sober 
<4993> minded <4993>.



 7  In all <3956> things shewing <3930> thyself <4572> a pattern 
<5179> of good <2570> works <2041>: in doctrine <1319> [shewing] 
uncorruptness <90>, gravity <4587>, sincerity <861>,



 8  Sound <5199> speech <3056>, that cannot <176> be condemned 
<176>; that he that is of the contrary <1727> part may be 
ashamed <1788>, having <2192> no <3367> evil <5337> thing to say 
<3004> of you.



 9  [Exhort] servants <1401> to be obedient <5293> unto their 
own <2398> masters <1203>, [and] to please <1511> [them] well 
<2101> in all <3956> [things]; not answering <488> again <483>;



 10  Not purloining <3557>, but shewing <1731> all <3956> good 
<18> fidelity <4102>; that they may adorn <2885> the doctrine 
<1319> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990> in all <3956> things.



 11. For the grace <5485> of God <2316> that bringeth <4992> 
salvation <4992> hath appeared <2014> to all <3956> men <444>,



 12  Teaching <3811> us that, denying <720> ungodliness <763> 
and worldly <2886> lusts <1939>, we should live <2198> soberly 
<4996>, righteously <1346>, and godly <2153>, in this <3588> 
present <3568> world <165>;



 13  Looking <4327> for that blessed <3107> hope <1680>, and the 
glorious <1391> appearing <2015> of the great <3173> God <2316> 
and our Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>;



 14  Who <3739> gave <1325> himself <1438> for us, that he might 
redeem <3084> us from all <3956> iniquity <458>, and purify 
<2511> unto himself <1438> a peculiar <4041> people <2992>, 
zealous <2207> of good <2570> works <2041>.



 15. These <5023> things speak <2980>, and exhort <3870>, and 
rebuke <1651> with all <3956> authority <2003>. Let no <3367> 
man <3367> despise <4065> thee.



Titus   3



 1. Put <5279> them in mind <5279> to be subject <5293> to 
principalities <746> and powers <1849>, to obey <3980> 
magistrates <3980>, to be ready <2092> to every <3956> good <18> 
work <2041>,



 2  To speak <987> evil <987> of no <3367> man <3367>, to be no 
<269> brawlers <269>, [but] gentle <1933>, shewing <1731> all 
<3956> meekness <4236> unto all <3956> men <444>.



 3  For we ourselves <2249> also <2532> were sometimes <4218> 
foolish <453>, disobedient <545>, deceived <4105>, serving 
<1398> divers <4164> lusts <1939> and pleasures <2237>, living 
<1236> in malice <2549> and envy <5355>, hateful <4767>, [and] 
hating <3404> one <240> another <240>.



 4  But after <3753> that the kindness <5544> and love <5363> of 
God <2316> our Saviour <4990> toward <4314> man appeared <2014>,



 5  Not by works <2041> of righteousness <1343> which <3739> we 
have done <4160>, but according <2596> to his mercy <1656> he 
saved <4982> us, by the washing <3067> of regeneration <3824>, 
and renewing <342> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>;



 6  Which <3739> he shed <1632> on <1909> us abundantly <4146> 
through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Saviour <4990>;



 7  That being justified <1344> by his grace <5485>, we should 
be made <1096> heirs <2818> according <2596> to the hope <1680> 
of eternal <166> life <2222>.



 8  [This <3588> is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056>, and these 
<5130> things I will <1014> that thou affirm <1226> constantly 
<1226>, that they which have believed <4100> in God <2316> might 
be careful <5431> to maintain <4291> good <2570> works <2041>. 
These <5023> things are good <2570> and profitable <5624> unto 
men <444>.



 9. But avoid <4026> foolish <3474> questions <2214>, and 
genealogies <1076>, and contentions <2054>, and strivings <3163> 
about <3163> the law <3544>; for they are unprofitable <512> and 
vain <3152>.



 10  A man <444> that is an heretick <141> after <3326> the 
first <3391> and second <1208> admonition <3559> reject <3868>;



 11  Knowing <1492> that he that is such <5108> is subverted 
<1612>, and sinneth <264>, being <5607> condemned <843> of 
himself <843>.



 12  When <3752> I shall send <3992> Artemas <734> unto thee, or 
<2228> Tychicus <5190>, be diligent <4704> to come <2064> unto 
me to Nicopolis <3533>: for I have determined <2919> there 
<1563> to winter <3914>.



 13  Bring <4311> Zenas <2211> the lawyer <3544> and Apollos 
<625> on their journey diligently <4709>, that nothing <3367> be 
wanting <3007> unto them.



 14  And let ours <2251> also <2532> learn <3129> to maintain 
<4291> good <2570> works <2041> for necessary <316> uses <5532>, 
that they be not unfruitful <175>.



 15  All <3956> that are with me salute <782> thee. Greet <782> 
them that love <5368> us in the faith <4102>. Grace <5485> [be] 
with you all <3956>. Amen <281>.
