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