{\MT The Epistle of Paul to Titus

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul, bondman
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:1 }
Elohim}God,
and
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ
according
to [the]
faith
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:1 }
Elohim}God's
elect,
and
knowledge
of [the]
truth
which [is]
according
to
piety;
\VS{2}in [the]
hope
of
eternal
life,
which
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }
Elohim}God,
who
cannot
lie,
promised
before
the
ages
of
time,
\VS{3}but
has
manifested
in
its
own
due
season
his
word,
in [the]
proclamation
with
which
{\BD{
I}}
have been
entrusted,
according
to [the]
commandment
of
our Saviour
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:3 }
Elohim}God;
\VS{4}to
Titus,
my own
child
according
to [the]
faith
common [to us]:
Grace
and
peace
from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:4 }
Elohim}God [the]
Father,
and
Christ
Jesus
our Saviour.
\VS{5}For
this cause
I
left thee
in
Crete,
that thou mightest go
on
to
set right
what remained [unordered],
and establish
elders
in
each
city,
as
{\BD{
I}}
had
ordered thee:
\VS{6}if
any
one
be free
from all charge [against
him],
husband
of
one
wife,
having
believing
children
not
accused
of excess
or unruly.
\VS{7}For
the
overseer
must
be free
from
all charge [against
him]
as
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:7 }
Elohim}God's
steward;
not headstrong,
not passionate,
not disorderly through
wine,
not
a striker,
not seeking
gain
by base
means;
\VS{8}but
hospitable, a lover
of goodness, discreet,
just, pious, temperate,
\VS{9}clinging
to
the
faithful
word
according
to
the
doctrine taught,
that
he
may
be
able
both
to
encourage
with
sound
teaching
and
refute gainsayers.
\VS{10}For
there
are
many
and disorderly vain speakers
and
deceivers
of people's minds, specially
those
of [the]
circumcision,
\VS{11}who
must
have
their mouths stopped,
who subvert
whole houses,
teaching
things
which
ought
not [to
be
taught]
for
the
sake
of base
gain.
\VS{12}One
of
themselves,
a
prophet
of
their
own,
has
said,
Cretans
are
always
liars,
evil
wild
beasts,
lazy
gluttons.
\VS{13}This
testimony
is
true;
for
which
cause
rebuke
them
severely,
that
they
may
be
sound
in
the
faith,
\VS{14}not
turning [their] minds
to
Jewish
fables
and
commandments
of
men
turning
away
from
the
truth.
\VS{15}All
things [are]
pure
to
the
pure;
but
to
the
defiled
and
unbelieving
nothing [is]
pure;
but
both
their
mind
and
their
conscience
are
defiled.
\VS{16}They
profess
to
know
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:16 }
Elohim}God,
but
in
works
deny [him],
being abominable,
and
disobedient,
and
found worthless
as
to
every
good
work.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But do
{\BD{thou}}
speak
the
things
that become
sound
teaching;
\VS{2}that
the elder
men
be sober, grave, discreet,
sound
in
faith,
in
love,
in
patience;
\VS{3}that
the elder
women
in like
manner
be
in deportment
as becoming
those
who
have
to say
to sacred
things,
not
slanderers,
not
enslaved
to
much
wine, teachers
of
what
is right;
\VS{4}that
they
may admonish
the
young women
to
be attached
to [their]
husbands,
to
be attached
to [their]
children,
\VS{5}discreet,
chaste, diligent
in
home work,
good,
subject
to
their
own
husbands,
that
the
word
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:5 }
Elohim}God
may
not
be
evil
spoken
of.
\VS{6}The
younger men
in like
manner
exhort
to be discreet:
\VS{7}in
all
things affording thyself
as
a
pattern
of
good
works;
in
teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,
\VS{8}a
sound
word,
not
to
be condemned;
that
he
who
is opposed
may
be ashamed,
having
no
evil
thing
to
say
about
us:
\VS{9}bondmen
to
be
subject
to
their
own
masters,
to
make
themselves
acceptable
in
everything;
not gainsaying;
\VS{10}not robbing [their masters],
but shewing
all
good fidelity,
that
they
may
adorn
the
teaching
which [is]
of
our Saviour
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:10 }
Elohim}God
in
all
things.
\VS{11}For
the
grace
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:11 }
Elohim}God
which carries
with it
salvation
for
all
men
has
appeared,
\VS{12}teaching
us
that, having
denied impiety
and
worldly
lusts,
we
should
live soberly,
and
justly,
and piously
in
the
present
course
of
things,
\VS{13}awaiting
the
blessed
hope
and
appearing
of
the
glory
of
our
great
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:13 }
Elohim}God
and Saviour
Jesus
Christ;
\VS{14}who
gave
himself
for
us,
that
he
might
redeem
us
from
all
lawlessness,
and
purify
to
himself
a peculiar
people,
zealous
for
good
works.
\VS{15}These
things
speak,
and
exhort,
and
rebuke
with
all
authority.
Let
no
one despise thee.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Put
them
in
mind
to
be
subject
to
rulers,
to
authorities,
to
be
obedient
to
rule,
to
be
ready
to
do
every
good
work,
\VS{2}to speak
evil
of
no
one,
not
to
be contentious, [to
be] mild, shewing
all
meekness towards
all
men.
\VS{3}For
we
were
once
ourselves
also
without intelligence,
disobedient,
wandering
in error,
serving
various
lusts
and
pleasures, living
in
malice
and
envy,
hateful, [and]
hating
one
another.
\VS{4}But
when
the
kindness
and
love
to
man
of
our Saviour
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:4 }
Elohim}God
appeared,
\VS{5}not
on
the principle
of
works
which [have
been
done]
in
righteousness
which
{\BD{
we}}
had
done,
but
according
to
his
own
mercy
he
saved
us
through [the]
washing
of
regeneration
and renewal
of [the]
Holy
Spirit,
\VS{6}which
he poured out
on
us
richly
through
Jesus
Christ
our Saviour;
\VS{7}that, having
been
justified
by
{\BD{
his}}
grace,
we
should
become
heirs
according
to [the]
hope
of
eternal
life.
\VS{8}The
word [is]
faithful,
and
I
desire
that thou insist strenuously
on
these
things,
that
they
who
have
believed
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:8 }
Elohim}God
may take care
to pay diligent attention
to
good
works.
These
things
are
good
and
profitable
to
men.
\VS{9}But
foolish
questions,
and
genealogies,
and strifes,
and contentions
about
the
law, shun;
for
they
are
unprofitable
and
vain.
\VS{10}An heretical
man
after
a
first
and
second admonition
have done
with,
\VS{11}knowing
that
such
a
one
is
perverted,
and
sins,
being
self-condemned.
\VS{12}When
I shall
send
Artemas
to thee,
or
Tychicus, use diligence
to
come
to
me
to
Nicopolis;
for
I
have
decided
to
winter
there.
\VS{13}Zenas
the
lawyer
and
Apollos set forward
diligently
on
their
way,
that
nothing
may
be
lacking
to
them;
\VS{14}and
let
ours
also
learn
to apply
themselves
to
good
works
for
necessary wants,
that
they
may
not
be
unfruitful.
\VS{15}All
with
me salute thee. Salute
those
who
love
us
in [the]
faith.
Grace [be]
with
you
all.
