Epistle of St. Paul to Titus
chapter 1
1
Paul,
a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the
elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to
godliness:
2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who
lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world:
3 But hath in due times manifested his word in
preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our
Savior:
4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common
faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Savior.
5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou
shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain
priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife,
having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of
God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy
of filthy lucre:
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy,
continent:
9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to
doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the
gainsayers.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers,
and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The
Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
13 This testimony 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, who turn themselves away from the truth.
15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that
are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and
their conscience are defiled.
16 They profess that they know God: but in their works
they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work
reprobate.
