Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, Tit 1:2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; Tit 1:3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior; Tit 1:4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. Tit 1:5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you; Tit 1:6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior. Tit 1:7 For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain; Tit 1:8 but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled; Tit 1:9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him. Tit 1:10 For there are also many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, Tit 1:11 whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain. Tit 1:12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons." Tit 1:13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, Tit 1:14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth. Tit 1:15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. Tit 1:16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work. Tit 2:1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine, Tit 2:2 that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience: Tit 2:3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; Tit 2:4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, Tit 2:5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed. Tit 2:6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded; Tit 2:7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness, Tit 2:8 and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us. Tit 2:9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting; Tit 2:10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things. Tit 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, Tit 2:12 instructing us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; Tit 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ; Tit 2:14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works. Tit 2:15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you. Tit 3:1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, Tit 3:2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people. Tit 3:3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. Tit 3:4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, Tit 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of rebirth and renewing by the Holy Spirit, Tit 3:6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior; Tit 3:7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. Tit 3:8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for people; Tit 3:9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Tit 3:10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning; Tit 3:11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned. Tit 3:12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there. Tit 3:13 Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them. Tit 3:14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful. Tit 3:15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Table of Contents No comments: Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)
