(AKJV)
Titus
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;
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
2
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
3
But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
4
To Titus, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
5
For this cause left I you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed you:
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
6
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
7
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
8
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
9
Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the disputers.
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
10
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
11
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
12
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
13
This witness is true. Why rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
14
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
15
To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
(AKJV)
Titus
1
:
16
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
