Young's Literal Translation 1862
| 1:1 | Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that `is' according to piety, |
| 1:2 | upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages, |
| 1:3 | (and He manifested in proper times His word,) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour, |
| 1:4 | to Titus -- true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour! |
| 1:5 | For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee; |
| 1:6 | if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate -- |
| 1:7 | for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre; |
| 1:8 | but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, self-controlled, |
| 1:9 | holding -- according to the teaching -- to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict; |
| 1:10 | for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers -- especially they of the circumcision -- |
| 1:11 | whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre's sake. |
| 1:12 | A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said -- `Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!' |
| 1:13 | this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, |
| 1:14 | not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth; |
| 1:15 | all things, indeed, `are' pure to the pure, and to the defiled and unstedfast `is' nothing pure, but of them defiled `are' even the mind and the conscience; |
| 1:16 | God they profess to know, and in the works they deny `Him', being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved. |
Young's Literal Translation 1862
Young's Literal Translation is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Young used the Textus Receptus and the Majority Text as the basis for his translation. He wrote in the preface to the first edition, "It has been no part of the Translator's plan to attempt to form a New Hebrew or Greek Text--he has therefore somewhat rigidly adhered to the received ones."
