{\MT Paul’s Letter to Titus

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
a
servant
of
God,
and
an
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
according
to
the
faith
of
the
elect
of
God
and
the acknowledging
of
the
truth,
which
is
according
to
godliness:
\VS{2}Unto
the
hope
of
life everlasting,
which
God,
who lieth
not, hath
promised
before
the
times
of
the world:
\VS{3}But hath
in
due
times
manifested
his
word
in
preaching,
which
is committed
to
me
according
to
the
commandment
of
God
our Saviour:
\VS{4}To
Titus
my beloved
son,
according
to
the
common
faith,
grace
and
peace
from
God
the
Father,
and
from
Christ
Jesus
our Saviour.
\VS{5}For
this cause
I
left thee
in
Crete,
that thou shouldest
set
in
order
the
things
that
are wanting,
and shouldest ordain priests
in
every
city,
as
I
also
appointed thee:
\VS{6}If
any
be
without crime,
the
husband
of
one
wife,
having
faithful
children,
not
accused
of riot,
or unruly.
\VS{7}For
a bishop
must
be
without crime,
as
the
steward
of
God:
not proud,
not subject
to anger,
not given
to
wine,
no striker,
not greedy
of filthy lucre:
\VS{8}But given
to hospitality, gentle, sober,
just,
holy, continent:
\VS{9}Embracing
that
faithful
word
which
is
according
to
doctrine,
that
he
may
be
able
to
exhort
in
sound
doctrine,
and
to convince
the gainsayers.
\VS{10}For
there
are
also
many disobedient, vain
talkers,
and seducers:
especially
they
who
are
of
the
circumcision:
\VS{11}Who
must
be reproved,
who subvert
whole houses,
teaching
things
which
they
ought
not,
for filthy lucre’s
sake.
\VS{12}One
of
them
a
prophet
of
their
own,
said,
The Cretians
are
always
liars,
evil
beasts, slothful bellies.
\VS{13}This
testimony
is
true. Wherefore
rebuke
them
sharply,
that
they
may
be
sound
in
the
faith;
\VS{14}Not
giving heed
to
Jewish
fables
and
commandments
of
men,
who
turn themselves
away
from
the
truth.
\VS{15}All
things
are
clean
to
the
clean:
but
to
them
that
are
defiled,
and
to
unbelievers,
nothing
is
clean:
but
both
their
mind
and
their
conscience
are
defiled.
\VS{16}They
profess
that
they
know
God:
but
in
their
works
they
deny
him;
being abominable,
and incredulous,
and
to
every
good
work reprobate.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
speak thou
the
things
that become
sound
doctrine:
\VS{2}That
the
aged
men
be sober, chaste,
prudent,
sound
in
faith,
in
love,
in
patience.
\VS{3}The aged
women,
in like
manner,
in holy attire,
not false accusers,
not given
to
much
wine,
teaching well:
\VS{4}That
they
may teach
the
young women
to
be wise,
to
love
their
husbands,
to
love
their
children,
\VS{5}To
be discreet,
chaste, sober, having
a care
of
the house, gentle,
obedient
to
their
husbands,
that
the
word
of
God
be
not
blasphemed.
\VS{6}Young men,
in like
manner,
exhort
that they be sober.
\VS{7}In
all
things shew thyself an example
of
good
works,
in
doctrine,
in integrity,
in gravity,
\VS{8}The
sound
word
that
can
not
be blamed:
that
he,
who
is
on
the
contrary
part,
may
be afraid,
having
no
evil
to
say
of
us.
\VS{9}Exhort
servants
to
be
obedient
to
their
masters,
in
all
things
pleasing,
not gainsaying:
\VS{10}Not defrauding,
but
in
all
things shewing
good fidelity,
that
they
may
adorn
the
doctrine
of
God
our Saviour
in
all
things:
\VS{11}For
the
grace
of
God
our Saviour hath
appeared
to
all
men;
\VS{12}Instructing
us,
that,
denying
ungodliness
and
worldly
desires,
we
should
live soberly,
and
justly,
and
godly
in
this
world,
\VS{13}Looking
for
the
blessed
hope
and coming
of
the
glory
of
the
great
God
and
our Saviour
Jesus
Christ,
\VS{14}Who
gave
himself
for
us,
that
he
might
redeem
us
from
all iniquity,
and
might
cleanse
to
himself
a
people acceptable,
a pursuer
of
good
works.
\VS{15}These
things
speak,
and
exhort
and
rebuke
with
all
authority.
Let
no
man despise thee.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Admonish
them
to
be
subject
to princes
and
powers,
to
obey
at
a word,
to
be
ready
to
every
good
work.
\VS{2}To speak
evil
of
no
man,
not
to
be litigious,
but
gentle: shewing
all mildness towards
all
men.
\VS{3}For
we
ourselves
also
were some
time unwise, incredulous,
erring,
slaves
to divers
desires
and
pleasures, living
in
malice
and
envy,
hateful,
and
hating
one
another.
\VS{4}But
when
the goodness
and
kindness
of
God
our Saviour
appeared:
\VS{5}Not
by
the
works
of
justice,
which
we
have
done,
but
according
to
his
mercy,
he
saved
us,
by
the laver
of
regeneration,
and renovation
of
the
Holy Ghost;
\VS{6}Whom
he hath poured forth
upon
us
abundantly,
through
Jesus
Christ
our Saviour:
\VS{7}That,
being
justified
by
his
grace,
we
may
be
heirs,
according
to
hope
of
life everlasting.
\VS{8}It
is
a
faithful
saying:
and
these
things
I
will
have thee affirm constantly:
that
they,
who
believe
in
God,
may
be
careful
to excel
in
good
works.
These
things
are
good
and
profitable unto
men.
\VS{9}But
avoid
foolish
questions,
and
genealogies,
and contentions,
and strivings
about
the
law.
For
they
are
unprofitable
and
vain.
\VS{10}A
man
that
is
a heretic,
after
the
first
and
second admonition, avoid:
\VS{11}Knowing
that
he,
that
is
such
an
one,
is subverted,
and sinneth,
being condemned
by
his own judgment.
\VS{12}When
I shall
send
to thee
Artemas
or
Tychicus,
make haste
to
come unto
me
to
Nicopolis.
For
there
I
have
determined
to
winter.
\VS{13}Send forward
Zenas,
the
lawyer,
and Apollo,
with care,
that
nothing
be wanting
to
them.
\VS{14}And
let
our men
also
learn
to excel
in
good
works
for
necessary uses:
that
they
be
not
unfruitful.
\VS{15}All
that
are
with
me salute thee: salute
them
that
love
us
in
the
faith.
The
grace
of God
be
with
you
all. Amen.
