New Testament Titus Titus 1
King
James Version
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; 2 In hope of eternal
life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 But hath in due times
manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according
to the commandment of God our Saviour; 4 To Titus, mine own son
after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. 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: 6 If any be blameless,
the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or
unruly. 7 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; 8 But a lover of
hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 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. 10 For there are many
unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11 Whose mouths must be
stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for
filthy lucre's sake. 12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil
beasts, slow bellies. 13 This witness is true.
Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 Not giving heed to
Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 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. 16 They profess that they
know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and
unto every good work reprobate. Titus 2
King
James Version
2 But
speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men be
sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3 The aged women
likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh
holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the
young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste,
keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God
be not blasphemed. 6 Young men likewise
exhort to be sober minded. 7 In all things shewing
thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity,
sincerity, 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. 9 Exhort servants to be
obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not
answering again; 10 Not purloining,
but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God
our Saviour in all things. 11 For the grace of God
that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that,
denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously,
and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that
blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 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. 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no
man despise thee. Titus 3
King
James Version
3 Put
them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates,
to be ready to every good work, 2 To speak evil of no
man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 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. 4 But after that the
kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared, 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; 6 Which he shed on us
abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by
his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 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. 9 But avoid foolish
questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for
they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is
such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of
himself. 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. 13 Bring Zenas the lawyer
and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. 14 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary
uses, that they be not unfruitful. 15 All that are with me
salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
Amen. |
