TIT 1 ©

Paul’s Greeting to Titus

(2 Corinthians 8:16–24)

1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for [the] faith of God’s elect and [their] knowledge of [the] truth that leads to godliness, 2in [the] hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.[fn] 3[In His] own time He has made His word {evident} in [the] proclamation entrusted to me by [the] command of God our Savior.

4To Titus, [my] true child in [our] common faith: Grace and peace from God [the] Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

Appointing Elders on Crete

(1 Timothy 3:1–7, 1 Peter 5:1–4)

5The reason I left you in Crete [was] that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. 6[An elder must] be blameless, [the] husband of but one wife,[fn] having children who are believers [and who are] not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.

7As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money. 8Instead, [he must be] hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, [and] disciplined. 9He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage [others] by sound teaching and refute those who contradict [it].

Correcting False Teachers

(1 Timothy 1:3–11)

10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision, 11who must be silenced. For [the] sake of dishonorable gain, [they] undermine entire households [and] teach things they should not. 12[As] one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”[fn]

13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith 14[and] will pay no attention to Jewish myths [or] [to the] commands of men who have rejected the truth.

15To the pure, all things [are] pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing [is] pure. Indeed, both their minds and [their] consciences are defiled. 16They profess to know God, but by [their] actions they deny [Him]. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.


1:2 Literally before times eternal

1:6 Or faithful to his wife

1:12 This quote, also known as the Epimenides paradox, has been attributed to the Cretan philosopher Epimenides of Knossos.
