Titus 1

1Paul^G3972, a servant^G1401 of God^G2316, and^G1161 an apostle^G652 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, according to^G2596 the faith^G4102 of^G1588 God's^G2316 elect^G1588, and^G2532 the knowledge^G1922 of^G1588 the truth^G225 which^G3588 is according to godliness^G2150, 2in^G1909 hope^G1680 of eternal^G166 life^G2222, which^G3739 God^G2316, who cannot lie^G893, promised^G1861 before^G4253 times^G5550 eternal^G166; 3but^G1161 in his own^G2398 seasons^G2540 manifested^G5319 his^G846 word^G3056 in^G1722 the message^G2782, wherewith^G3739 I^G1473 was intrusted^G4100 according to^G2596 the commandment^G2003 of God^G2316 our^G2257 Saviour^G4990; 4to Titus^G5103, my true^G1103 child^G5043 after^G2596 a common^G2839 faith^G4102: Grace^G5485 and peace^G1515 from^G575 God^G2316 the Father^G3962 and^G2532 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 our^G2257 Saviour^G4990. 5For this^G5127 cause^G5484 left I^G2641 thee^G4571 in^G1722 Crete^G2914, that^G2443 thou shouldest set in order^G1930 the things^G3588 that were wanting^G3007, and^G2532 appoint^G2525 elders^G4245 in every^G2596 city^G4172, as^G5613 I^G1473 gave thee^G4671 charge^G1299; 6if^G1487 any^G5100 man is^G2076 blameless^G410, the husband^G435 of one^G1520 wife^G1135, having^G2192 children^G5043 that believe^G4103, who are not^G3361 accused^G2724 of riot^G810 or^G2228 unruly^G506. 7For^G1063 the bishop^G1985 must^G1163 be^G1511 blameless^G410, as^G5613 God's^G2316 steward^G3623; not^G3361 self-willed^G829, not^G3361 soon angry^G3711, no^G3361 brawler^G3943, no^G3361 striker^G4131, not^G3361 greedy of filthy lucre^G146; 8but^G235 given to hospitality^G5382, a lover of good^G5358, sober-minded^G4998, just^G1342, holy^G3741, self-controlled^G1468; 9holding^G472 to the faithful^G4103 word^G3056 which^G2596 is according to the teaching^G1322, that^G2443 he may be^G5600 able^G1415 to^G2532 exhort^G3870 in^G1722 the sound^G5198 doctrine^G1319, and^G2532 to convict^G1651 the gainsayers^G483. 10For^G1063 there are^G1526 many^G4183 unruly^G506 men^G2532, vain talkers^G3151 and^G2532 deceivers^G5423, specially^G3122 they^G3588 of^G1537 the circumcision^G4061, 11whose^G3739 mouths^G1993 must^G1163 be stopped^G1993; men who^G3748 overthrow^G396 whole^G3650 houses^G3624, teaching^G1321 things which^G3739 they ought^G1163 not^G3361, for^G5484 filthy^G150 lucre's^G2771 sake^G5484. 12One^G5100 of^G1537 themselves^G846, a prophet^G4396 of their^G846 own^G2398, said^G2036, Cretans^G2912 are always^G104 liars^G5583, evil^G2556 beasts^G2342, idle^G692 gluttons^G1064. 13This^G3778 testimony^G3141 is^G2076 true^G227. For which cause^G1223 reprove^G1651 them^G846 sharply^G664, that^G2443 they may be sound^G5198 in^G1722 the faith^G156, 14not^G3361 giving heed to^G4337 Jewish^G2451 fables^G3454, and^G2532 commandments^G1785 of men^G444 who turn away from^G654 the truth^G225. 15To the pure^G2513 all things^G3956 are pure^G2513: but^G1161 to them that are defiled^G3392 and^G2532 unbelieving^G571 nothing^G3762 is pure^G2513; but^G235 both^G2532 their^G846 mind^G3563 and^G2532 their^G846 conscience^G4893 are defiled^G3392. 16They profess^G3670 that they know^G1492 God^G2316; but^G1161 by their works^G2041 they deny^G720 him, being^G5607 abominable^G947, and^G2532 disobedient^G545, and^G2532 unto^G4314 every^G3956 good^G18 work^G2041 reprobate^G96.
