| | 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 Saviour; | |
| | 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 Saviour. | |
| | 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 selfwilled, 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. | |
| | 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 charity, in patience. | |
| | 2:3 | The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; | |
| | 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 uncorruptness, 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 Saviour 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 Saviour 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. | |
| | 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 Saviour 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 Saviour; | |
| | 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 heretick 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 our's 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. | |
