Paul,G3972 a servantG1401 of God,G2316 and an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 accordingG2596 to the faithG4102 of God'sG2316 elect,G1588 and the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225 whichG3588 is afterG2596 godliness;G2150
2
In hopeG1680 of eternalG166 life,G2222 whichG3739 God,G2316 that cannotG893 lie,G893 promisedG1861 beforeG4253 the worldG166 began;G4253
3
But has in dueG2398 timesG5550 manifestedG5319 his wordG3056 throughG1722 preaching,G2782 whichG3739 is committedG4100 to me accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of GodG2316 our Savior;G4990
4
To Titus,G5103 my ownG1103 sonG5043 afterG2596 the commonG2839 faith:G4102 Grace,G5485 mercy,G1656 and peace,G1515 from GodG2316 the FatherG3962 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our Savior.G4990
5
For thisG5127 causeG5484 leftG2641 I you in Crete,G2914 that you should setG1930 in orderG1930 the things that are wanting,G3007 and ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 city,G4172 as I had appointedG1299 you:
6
IfG1487 anyG1536 be blameless,G410 the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wife,G1135 havingG2192 faithfulG4103 childrenG5043 not accusedG1722 G2724 of riotG810 orG2228 unruly.G506
7
For a bishopG1985 mustG1163 be blameless,G410 as the stewardG3622 of God;G2316 not self-willed,G829 not soonG3711 angry,G3711 not givenG3943 to wine,G3943 noG3361 striker,G4131 not given to filthyG150 lucre;G146
8
But a loverG5382 of hospitality,G5382 a loverG5358 of goodG5358 men, sober,G4998 just,G1342 holy,G3741 temperate;G1468
9
HoldingG472 fastG472 the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 as he has been taught,G1322 that he may be ableG1415 by soundG5198 doctrineG1319 bothG2532 to exhortG3870 and to convinceG1651 the disputers.G483
10
For there are manyG4183 unrulyG506 and vainG3151 talkersG3151 and deceivers,G5423 speciallyG3122 they of the circumcision:G4061
11
WhoseG3739 mouthsG1993 mustG1163 be stopped,G1993 whoG3748 subvertG396 wholeG3650 houses,G3624 teachingG1321 things whichG3739 they oughtG1163 not, for filthyG150 lucre'sG2771 sake.
12
OneG5100 of themselves,G846 even a prophetG4396 of their own,G2398 said,G2036 The CretiansG2912 are alwaysG104 liars,G5583 evilG2556 beasts,G2342 slowG692 bellies.G1064
13
ThisG3778 witnessG3141 is true.G227 WhyG1223 G3739 rebukeG1651 them sharply,G664 that they may be soundG5198 in the faith;G4102
14
Not giving heedG4337 to JewishG2451 fables,G3454 and commandmentsG1785 of men,G444 that turnG654 from the truth.G225
15
To the pureG2513 allG3956 things are pure:G2513 but to them that are defiledG3392 and unbelievingG571 is nothingG3762 pure;G2513 but evenG2532 their mindG3563 and conscienceG4893 is defiled.G3392
16
They professG3670 that they knowG1492 God;G2316 but in worksG2041 they denyG720 him, beingG5607 abominable,G947 and disobedient,G545 and to everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 reprobate.G96
