Paul's Epistle to Titus
Ch.1 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;
1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God,
that cannot lie, promised
before the world began;
1:3 but hath in due times,
manifested his word through preaching,
which is committed unto me
according to the commandment of God,
our Savior.
1:4 To Titus, mine own son,
after the common faith:
Grace, mercy, and peace,
from God the Father, and the
Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.
1:5 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:
1:6 if any be blameless,
the husband of one wife, having
faithful children,
not accused of riot, or unruly.
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;
1:8 but a lover of hospitality,
a lover of good men, sober, just, holy,
temperate;
1:9 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.
1:10 For there are many unruly, and
vain talkers and deceivers, specially
they of the circumcision:
1:11 whose mouths must be stopped,
who subvert whole houses, teaching
things which they ought not, for
filthy lucre's sake.
1:12 One of themselves,
even a prophet of their own said,
the Cretians are alway liars,
evil beasts, slow bellies.
1:13 This witness is true.
Wherefore, rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in the faith;
1:14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and
commandments of men, that turn
from the truth.
1:15 Unto the pure, all things are pure:
But unto them that are defiled and
unbelieving, is nothing pure;
but even their mind and conscience,
is defiled.
1:16 They profess that they know God;
but in works, they deny him, being
abominable, and disobedient, and
unto every good work, reprobate.
Ch. 2 Titus
2:1 But speak thou, the things which
become sound doctrine:
2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave,
temperate, sound in faith,
in love; (*charity*)
in patience.
2:3 The aged women likewise,
that they be in behavior as
becometh holiness,
not false accusers, not given to
much wine, teachers of good things;
2:4 that they may teach the
young women to be sober,
to love their husbands,
to love their children,
2:5 to be discreet, chaste,
keepers at home, good,
obedient to their own husbands,
that the word of God be not blasphemed.
2:6 Young men likewise,
exhort to be sober minded.
2:7 In all things, shewing thyself a
pattern of good works:
In doctrine,
shewing un-corruptness,
gravity, sincerity,
2:8 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.
2:9 Exhort servants to be
obedient unto their own masters,
and to please them well in
all things; not answering again;
2:10 not purloining, but shewing all good
fidelity; that they may adorn the
doctrine of God our Savior,
in all things.
2:11 For the grace of God that
bringeth salvation,
hath appeared to all men,
2:12 teaching us that,
denying ungodliness, and
worldly lusts,
we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly in this
present world;
2:13 looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God,
and our Savior, Jesus Christ;
2:14 Who gave himself for us,
that he might redeem us from
all iniquity,
and purify unto himself,
a peculiar people,
zealous of good works.
2:15 These things speak, and exhort,
and rebuke, with all authority.
Let no man despise thee.

Ch. 3 Titus
3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to
principalities and powers, to
obey magistrates, to be ready to
every good work,
3:2 to speak evil of no man,
to be no brawlers, but gentle,
shewing all meekness unto all men.
3:3 For we ourselves, also,
were sometimes foolish,
disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures,
living in malice and envy,
hateful, and hating one another.
3:4 But after that, the kindness, and
love of God our Savior, toward man,
appeared,
3:5 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;
3:6 which he shed on us abundantly,
through Jesus Christ our Savior;
3:7 that being justified by his grace,
we should be made heirs,
according to the hope of eternal life.
3:8 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.
3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and
genealogies, and contentions, and
strivings about the law;
for they are unprofitable and vain.
3:10 A man that is an heretic,
after the first, and second admonition,
reject;
3:11 knowing that he that is such,
is subverted, and sinneth, being
condemned of himself.
3:12 When I shall send
Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus,
be diligent, to come unto me,
to Nicopolis:
For I have determined there to winter.
3:13 Bring Zenas, the lawyer, and
Apollos on their journey diligently,
that nothing be wanting unto them.
3:14 And let ours also learn,
to maintain good works for
necessary uses,
that they be not unfruitful.
3:15 All that are with me, salute thee.
Greet them that love us in the faith.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
