TITUS |
Chapter 1
TIT 1:1
Paul, a bond-servant of God, and an apostle of
Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of
God and the knowledge of the truth which is
according to godliness,
TIT 1:2 in the hope of eternal life,
which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages
ago,
TIT 1:3 but at the proper time
manifested, even His word, in the proclamation
with which I was entrusted according to the
commandment of God our Savior;
TIT 1:4 to Titus, my true child in a
common faith: Grace and peace from God the
Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
TIT 1:5 For this reason I left you in
Crete, that you might set in order what remains,
and appoint elders in every city as I directed
you,
TIT 1:6 namely, if any man be above
reproach, the husband of one wife, having
children who believe, not accused of dissipation
or rebellion.
TIT 1:7 For the overseer must be above
reproach as God's steward, not self-willed, not
quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not
pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain,
TIT 1:8 but hospitable, loving what is
good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled,
TIT 1:9 holding fast the faithful word
which is in accordance with the teaching, that
he may be able both to exhort in sound doctrine
and to refute those who contradict.
TIT 1:10 For there are many rebellious
men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially
those of the circumcision,
TIT 1:11 who must be silenced because
they are upsetting whole families, teaching
things they should not teach, for the sake of
sordid gain.
TIT 1:12 One of themselves, a prophet of
their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil
beasts, lazy gluttons."
TIT 1:13 This testimony is true. For this
cause reprove them severely that they may be
sound in the faith,
TIT 1:14 not paying attention to Jewish
myths and commandments of men who turn away from
the truth.
TIT 1:15 To the pure, all things are
pure; but to those who are defiled and
unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their
mind and their conscience are defiled.
TIT 1:16 They profess to know God, but by
their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and
disobedient, and worthless for any good deed.

Chapter 2
TIT 2:1
But as for you, speak the things which are
fitting for sound doctrine.
TIT 2:2 Older men are to be temperate,
dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in
perseverance.
TIT 2:3 Older women likewise are to be
reverent in their behavior, not malicious
gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching
what is good,
TIT 2:4 that they may encourage the young
women to love their husbands, to love their
children,
TIT 2:5 to be sensible, pure, workers at
home, kind, being subject to their own husbands,
that the word of God may not be dishonored.
TIT 2:6 Likewise urge the young men to be
sensible;
TIT 2:7 in all things show yourself to be
an example of good deeds, with purity in
doctrine, dignified,
TIT 2:8 sound in speech which is beyond
reproach, in order that the opponent may be put
to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
TIT 2:9 Urge bondslaves to be subject to
their own masters in everything, to be
well-pleasing, not argumentative,
TIT 2:10 not pilfering, but showing all
good faith that they may adorn the doctrine of
God our Savior in every respect.
TIT 2:11 For the grace of God has
appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
TIT 2:12 instructing us to deny
ungodliness and worldly desires and to live
sensibly, righteously and godly in the present
age,
TIT 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and
the appearing of the glory of our great God and
Savior, Christ Jesus;
TIT 2:14 who gave Himself for us, that He
might redeem us from every lawless deed and
purify for Himself a people for His own
possession, zealous for good deeds.
TIT 2:15 These things speak and exhort
and reprove with all authority. Let no one
disregard you.

Chapter 3
TIT 3:1
Remind them to be subject to rulers, to
authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for
every good deed,
TIT 3:2 to malign no one, to be
uncontentious, gentle, showing every
consideration for all men.
TIT 3:3 For we also once were foolish
ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to
various lusts and pleasures, spending our life
in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
TIT 3:4 But when the kindness of God our
Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
TIT 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of
deeds which we have done in righteousness, but
according to His mercy, by the washing of
regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
TIT 3:6 whom He poured out upon us richly
through Jesus Christ our Savior,
TIT 3:7 that being justified by His grace
we might be made heirs according to the hope of
eternal life.
TIT 3:8 This is a trustworthy statement;
and concerning these things I want you to speak
confidently, so that those who have believed God
may be careful to engage in good deeds. These
things are good and profitable for men.
TIT 3:9 But shun foolish controversies
and genealogies and strife and disputes about
the Law; for they are unprofitable and
worthless.
TIT 3:10 Reject a factious man after a
first and second warning,
TIT 3:11 knowing that such a man is
perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.
TIT 3:12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus
to you, make every effort to come to me at
Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the
winter there.
TIT 3:13 Diligently help Zenas the lawyer
and Apollos on their way so that nothing is
lacking for them.
TIT 3:14 And let our people also learn to
engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs,
that they may not be unfruitful.
TIT 3:15 All who are with me greet you.
Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be
with you all.
