The Book of TITUS

 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;

TITUS 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,

promised before the world began;

TITUS 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;

TITUS 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.

TITUS 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:

TITUS 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having

faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

TITUS 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;

TITUS 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober,

just, holy, temperate;

TITUS 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.

TITUS 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and

deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

TITUS 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole

houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's

sake.

TITUS 1:12 One of themselves, {even} a prophet of their own,

said, The Cretians {are} alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

TITUS 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,

that they may be sound in the faith;

TITUS 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of

men, that turn from the truth.

TITUS 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.

TITUS 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they

deny {him}, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every

good work reprobate.

TITUS 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

TITUS 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in

faith, in charity, in patience.

TITUS 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;

TITUS 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to

love their husbands, to love their children,

TITUS 2:5 {To be} discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good,

obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not

blasphemed.

TITUS 2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

TITUS 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:

in doctrine {shewing} uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

TITUS 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.

TITUS 2:9 {Exhort} servants to be obedient unto their own

masters, {and} to please {them} well in all {things}; not

answering again;

TITUS 2:10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that

they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

TITUS 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath

appeared to all men,

TITUS 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly

lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this

present world;

TITUS 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious

appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

TITUS 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.

TITUS 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all

authority. Let no man despise thee.

TITUS 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and

powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

TITUS 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, {but}

gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

TITUS 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.

TITUS 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour

toward man appeared,

TITUS 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;

TITUS 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our

Saviour;

TITUS 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made

heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

TITUS 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.

TITUS 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and

contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are

unprofitable and vain.

TITUS 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second

admonition reject;

TITUS 3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and

sinneth, being condemned of himself.

TITUS 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.

TITUS 3:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey

diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

TITUS 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for

necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

TITUS 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love

us in the faith.  Grace {be} with you all. Amen.
