{\MTB THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO
\par }{\MT TITUS.

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
a
servant
of
God,
and
an apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
according
to
the
faith
of
God’s
elect,
and
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
which
is
according
to
godliness,
\VS{2}in
hope
of
eternal
life,
which
God,
who
cannot
lie,
promised
before
times
eternal;
\VS{3}but
in
his
own
seasons
manifested
his
word
in
the
message,
wherewith
I
was intrusted
according
to
the
commandment
of
God
our
Saviour;
\VS{4}to
Titus,
my
true
child
after
a
common
faith:
Grace
and
peace
from
God
the
Father
and
Christ
Jesus
our
Saviour.
\VS{5}For
this
cause
left
I
thee
in
Crete,
that
thou
shouldest
set
in
order
the
things
that
were
wanting,
and
appoint
elders
in
every
city,
as
I
gave
thee
charge;
\VS{6}if
any
man
is
blameless,
the
husband
of
one
wife,
having
children
that
believe,
who
are
not
accused
of
riot
or
unruly.
\VS{7}For
the
bishop
must
be
blameless,
as
God’s
steward;
not selfwilled,
not
soon
angry,
no
brawler,
no
striker,
not
greedy
of
filthy
lucre;
\VS{8}but
given
to
hospitality,
a
lover
of
good, soberminded,
just,
holy,
temperate;
\VS{9}holding
to
the
faithful
word
which
is
according
to
the
teaching,
that
he
may
be
able
both
to
exhort
in
the
sound
doctrine,
and
to
convict
the gainsayers.
\VS{10}For
there
are
many
unruly
men,
vain
talkers
and
deceivers,
specially
they
of
the
circumcision,
\VS{11}whose
mouths
must
be
stopped;
men
who
overthrow
whole
houses,
teaching
things
which
they
ought
not,
for
filthy
lucre’s
sake.
\VS{12}One
of
themselves,
a
prophet
of
their
own,
said,
Cretans
are
alway
liars,
evil
beasts,
idle
gluttons.
\VS{13}This
testimony
is
true.
For
which
cause
reprove
them
sharply,
that
they
may
be
sound
in
the
faith,
\VS{14}not
giving
heed
to
Jewish
fables,
and
commandments
of
men
who
turn
away
from
the
truth.
\VS{15}To
the
pure
all
things
are
pure:
but
to
them
that
are
defiled
and unbelieving
nothing
is
pure;
but
both
their
mind
and
their
conscience
are
defiled.
\VS{16}They
profess
that
they
know
God;
but
by
their
works
they
deny
him,
being
abominable,
and
disobedient,
and
unto
every
good
work
reprobate.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
speak
thou
the
things
which befit
the
sound
doctrine:
\VS{2}that
aged
men
be
temperate,
grave, soberminded,
sound
in
faith,
in
love,
in
patience:
\VS{3}that
aged
women
likewise
be
reverent
in demeanour,
not
slanderers
nor
enslaved
to
much
wine,
teachers
of
that
which
is
good;
\VS{4}that
they
may
train
the
young
women
to
love
their
husbands,
to
love
their
children,
\VS{5}{\ADD{
to
be
}}soberminded, chaste,
workers
at
home,
kind,
being
in
subjection
to
their
own
husbands,
that
the
word
of
God
be
not
blasphemed:
\VS{6}the
younger
men
likewise
exhort
to
be soberminded:
\VS{7}in
all
things
shewing
thyself
an
ensample
of
good
works;
in
thy
doctrine
{\ADD{
shewing
}}uncorruptness,
gravity,
\VS{8}sound
speech,
that
cannot
be
condemned;
that
he
that
is
of
the
contrary
part
may
be
ashamed,
having
no
evil
thing
to
say
of
us.
\VS{9}{\ADD{Exhort
}}servants
to
be
in
subjection
to
their
own
masters,
{\ADD{
and
}}to
be
well-pleasing
{\ADD{
to
them
}}in
all
things;
not gainsaying;
\VS{10}not
purloining,
but
shewing
all
good
fidelity;
that
they
may
adorn
the
doctrine
of
God
our
Saviour
in
all
things.
\VS{11}For
the
grace
of
God
hath
appeared,
bringing
salvation
to
all
men,
\VS{12}instructing
us,
to
the
intent
that,
denying
ungodliness
and
worldly
lusts,
we
should
live
soberly
and
righteously
and
godly
in
this
present
world;
\VS{13}looking
for
the
blessed
hope
and
appearing
of
the
glory
of
our
great
God
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ;
\VS{14}who
gave
himself
for
us,
that
he
might
redeem
us
from
all
iniquity,
and
purify
unto
himself
a
people
for
his
own
possession,
zealous
of
good
works.
\VS{15}These
things
speak
and
exhort
and
reprove
with
all
authority.
Let
no
man
despise
thee.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Put
them
in
mind
to
be
in
subjection
to
rulers,
to
authorities,
to
be
obedient,
to
be
ready
unto
every
good
work,
\VS{2}to
speak
evil
of
no
man,
not
to
be
contentious,
to
be
gentle,
shewing
all
meekness
toward
all
men.
\VS{3}For
we
also
were
aforetime
foolish,
disobedient,
deceived,
serving
divers
lusts
and
pleasures,
living
in
malice
and
envy,
hateful,
hating
one
another.
\VS{4}But
when
the
kindness
of
God
our
Saviour,
and
his
love
toward
man,
appeared,
\VS{5}not
by
works
{\ADD{
done
}}in
righteousness,
which
we
did
ourselves,
but
according
to
his
mercy
he
saved
us,
through
the
washing
of
regeneration
and renewing
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
\VS{6}which
he
poured
out
upon
us
richly,
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Saviour;
\VS{7}that,
being
justified
by
his
grace,
we
might
be
made
heirs
according
to
the
hope
of
eternal
life.
\VS{8}Faithful
is
the
saying,
and
concerning
these
things
I
will
that
thou
affirm
confidently,
to
the
end
that
they
which
have
believed
God
may
be
careful
to
maintain
good
works.
These
things
are
good
and
profitable
unto
men:
\VS{9}but
shun
foolish questionings,
and
genealogies,
and
strifes,
and
fightings
about
the
law;
for
they
are
unprofitable
and
vain.
\VS{10}A
man
that
is heretical
after
a
first
and
second
admonition
refuse;
\VS{11}knowing
that
such
a
one
is
perverted,
and
sinneth,
being self-condemned.
\VS{12}When
I
shall
send Artemas
unto
thee,
or
Tychicus,
give
diligence
to
come
unto
me
to
Nicopolis:
for
there
I
have
determined
to
winter.
\VS{13}Set
forward
Zenas
the
lawyer
and Apollos
on
their
journey
diligently,
that
nothing
be
wanting
unto
them.
\VS{14}And
let
our
{\ADD{
people
}}also
learn
to
maintain
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
faith.
Grace
be
with
you
all.
