- 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;

world began;
- But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed
unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
- To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace,
from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
- 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:
- If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children
not accused of riot or unruly.
- 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;
- But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
- 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.

which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

in the faith;

the truth.

is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

in patience.
- The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness,
not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
- That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands,
to love their children,
- To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands,
that the word of God be not blasphemed.
- Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
- In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing
uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
- Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary
part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
- Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them
well in all things; not answering again;
- Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the
doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
- For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
- Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
- Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
- Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and
purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
- These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man
despise thee.
Chapter 3
- Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates,
to be ready to every good work,
- To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness
unto all men.
- For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving
divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating
one another.
- But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
- Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his
mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy
Ghost;
- Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
- That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to
the hope of eternal life.
- This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly,
that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.
These things are good and profitable unto men.
- But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings
about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

of himself.
