Titus - Chapter: 1
| 1:1 | Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; |
| 1:2 | In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; |
| 1:3 | But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; |
| 1:4 | To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. |
| 1:5 | For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: |
| 1:6 | If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. |
| 1:7 | For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; |
| 1:8 | But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; |
| 1:9 | Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. |
| 1:10 | For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: |
| 1:11 | Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. |
| 1:12 | One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. |
| 1:13 | This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; |
| 1:14 | Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. |
| 1:15 | Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. |
| 1:16 | They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. |
| 1:1 | Paul a seruaunt of God, and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the trueth, which is according vnto godlines, |
| 1:2 | Vnto the hope of eternall life, which God that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began: |
| 1:3 | But hath made his worde manifest in due time through the preaching, which is committed vnto me, according to the commandement of God our Sauiour: |
| 1:4 | To Titus my naturall sonne according to the common faith, Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ our Sauiour. |
| 1:5 | For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest continue to redresse the thinges that remaine, and shouldest ordeine Elders in euery citie, as I appointed thee, |
| 1:6 | If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient. |
| 1:7 | For a Bishop must bee vnreproueable, as Gods steward, not froward, not angrie, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre, |
| 1:8 | But harberous, one that loueth goodnesse, wise, righteous, holy, temperate, |
| 1:9 | Holding fast that faithfull worde according to doctrine, that he also may bee able to exhort with wholesome doctrine, and conuince them that say against it. |
| 1:10 | For there are many disobedient and vaine talkers and deceiuers of mindes, chiefly they of the Circumcision, |
| 1:11 | Whose mouthes must bee stopped, which subuert whole houses, teaching things, which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake. |
| 1:12 | One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies. |
| 1:13 | This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith, |
| 1:14 | And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth. |
| 1:15 | Vnto the pure are all things pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure, but euen their mindes and consciences are defiled. |
| 1:16 | They professe that they know God, but by works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate. |
| 1:1 | Paul the seruaunt of God and an Apostle of Iesu Christ to preache the fayth of goddis electe and ye knowledge of that trueth which is after godlynes |
| 1:2 | vpon the hope of eternall lyfe which lyfe God that cannot lye hath promised before the worlde begane: |
| 1:3 | but hath opened his worde at ye tyme apoynted thorow preachynge which preachynge is committed vnto me by the commaundement of god oure saveoure. |
| 1:4 | To Titus his naturall sonne in the commen fayth.Grace mercie and peace from God the father and from the lord Iesu Christ oure saveoure. |
| 1:5 | For this cause left I ye in Creta that thou shuldest performe that which was lackynge and shuldest ordeyne elders in every citie as I apoynted the. |
| 1:6 | Yf eny be fautelesse the husbande of one wyfe havynge faythfull childre which are not selandred of royote nether are disobediet. |
| 1:7 | For a bisshoppe must be fautelesse as it be commeth the minister of God: not stubborne not angrye no dronkarde no fyghter not geven to filthy lucre: |
| 1:8 | but herberous one that loveth goodnes sobre mynded righteous holy temperat |
| 1:9 | and suche as cleveth vnto the true worde of doctryne that he maye be able to exhorte with wholsom learnynge and to improve them that saye agaynst it. |
| 1:10 | For ther are many disobedient and talkers of vanite and disceavers of myndes namely they of the circumcisio |
| 1:11 | whose mouthes must be stopped which pervert whole houses teachinge thinges which they ought not because of filthy lucre. |
| 1:12 | One beynge of the selves which was a poyet of their awne sayde: The Cretayns are all wayes lyars evyll beastes and slowe belies. |
| 1:13 | This witnes is true wherfore rebuke them sharply that they maye be sounde in the fayth |
| 1:14 | and not takynge hede to Iewes fables and commaudmentes of men that turne from the trueth. |
| 1:15 | Vnto the pure are all thynges pure: but vnto them that are defiled and vnbelevynge is nothynge pure: but even the very myndes and consciences of them are defiled. |
| 1:16 | They confesse that they knowe god: but with the dedes they denye hym and are abhominable and disobedient and vnto all good workes discommendable. |
