[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;
[R71B R1108 R1144B R2727 R3585 R3586:5 ]
1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
[Q765:3 ]
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;
[E33 R826B R5769:2 ]
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.
[R1889 R1894:3 ]
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:
[F249 F277 F278 R536 R536:3 R1889 R1890:3 R1894:3 R3745 R3745:6 Q811:1 Q844:2 ]
1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
[R1821 R1822:1 R1892:1 ]
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;
[R1895:6 R3572 R3872 ]
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.
[E284 R868B R3295 R5097:1 ]
1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
[R1889 ]
1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
[R1890:5 R2156 R2156:2 ]
1:12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
[A55 ]
1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
[R1452 R1453:4 ]
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.
[M0219 R2516:6 R2516:3 R2516:3,6 R2516:6 R2516B R3800 R4583 R5746 R5746:2 R5746:3 R5746:5 ]
1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
[E490 R2516:3 R2516B R2517:3 R5746:2 R5746:3 R5746:5 R5746:6 ]
[Titus 2]
2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
[R1889 R1892:4 R2722B ]
2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
[R2723:2 R2723:3 R2723:4 R2790 R2791:1,5 R3584 R4909 R4910:1 R5650 ]
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;
[R2723:5 ]
2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
[R2723:5 ]
2:5 [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
[R1583 R1584:3 R2723:6 R2724:1 ]
2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
[R2724:2 ]
2:7 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
[E397 R1001E R2724:2 R2724:3 R5875 R5900B R204:1 ]
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.
[R2724:3 ]
2:9 [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
[R2723:2 R2724:5 R2724:6 ]
2:10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
[E33 R2724:6 R2725:3 ]
2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
[Poems R691:1* R1434B R2283:3 R2283B R2284:2 R2284:3 R2284:5 R2285:5 R2725:3 R2725:4 R2725:5 R2938B R3856 R4576 R4576:1 R4576:2 R4576:5 ]
2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
[F665 R2064 R2146 R2283:6 R2725:5 R4576:1 Q853:1 ]
2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
[D470-515 D517 F664 F673 Poems R298:2* R298B R471:4 R471B R1105 R1889 R2146:4 R2283:3 R2359 R2725:6 R2726:1 R2798 R2972 R2973:2 R2979:1 R4081 R5919B R5920:4 Z9906 Z9907 Z9907 ]
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.
[E30 E431 E432 E450 M0520 R708B R710:4 R1479 R1632 R2146:4 R2283:6 R2509 R2510:5 R2516B R2517:6 R2597 R2604:3 R2726:4 R2759B R3067 R3944:6 R4553 R5460 R5461:5 R5462:1 R5970:1 ]
2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
[R1453:3 R1480:4* R1892:6 R1894:3 R2726:4 R2726:4: R3068:4 ]
[Titus 3]
3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
[R1548 R1553:2 R5716:4 R5928:3 R5929:2 ]
3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.
[F289 F290 M0107 R3275:5 R2444:4 R2442 R2585 R2588:2 R3241 R3275:6 R4281 R4281:2 R4281:3 R4281:5 R4433:1 R4616:4 R4705 R4803:1 R4803:2 R5122B R5471:1 R5528 R5529:1 R5529:2 R5530:1 R5530:4 R5973 R5639:3 ]
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.
[R2282 R2648 R2648:5 R4124 R4803:6 ]
3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
[E35 R2648:5 ]
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;
[E445 R1386 R1768 R1768:3* R2178 R2421 R2422:6 R2648:5 R4125:1 R5847 R5854 R5854:3 Q822:3 ]
3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
[T29 R1768:3* ]
3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
[F105 R440C R441:2 R659 R1278 R1278:2 R1386:6 R1434B R1435:1,6* ]
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.
[R1432B R3199 R3200:6 R4008 R4009:1 ]
3:10 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
[R1452 R1453:4 R1570B R1575:3 R4163C ]
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 ours 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.
