,,titus    ,st4 ,paul1 having preached  
the faith in the island of ,crete1 he   
ordained  his beloved disciple and      
companion1 ,titus1 bishop1 and left him 
there to  finish the work which he had  

begun4 ,afterwards the ,apostle1 on a   
journey  to ,nicopolis1 a city of       
,macedonia1 wrote this ,epistle to      
,titus1 in which  he directs him to     
ordain bishops and priests for the      
different cities1  shewing him the      
principal qualities necessary for a     
bishop4 ,he also  gives him particular  
advice for his own conduct to his flock1
 exhorting  him to hold to strictness of
 discipline1 but seasoned with lenity4  
,it  was written about thirty-three     
years after our ,lord's ,ascension4     
,titus ,chapter #a    ,what kind of men 
he is to ordain priests4 ,some men are  
to be sharply  rebuked4    #a3a4 ,paul1 
a servant of ,god and an apostle of     
,jesus ,christ1 according to  the faith 
of the elect of ,god and the            
acknowledging of the truth1 which  is   
according to godliness3    #a3b4 ,unto  
the hope of life everlasting1 which     
,god1 who lieth not1 hath  promised     
before the times of the world3    #a3c4 
,but hath in due times manifested his   

word in preaching1 which is  committed  
to me according to the commandment of   
,god our ,saviour3    #a3d4 ,to ,titus1 
my beloved son according to the common  
faith1 grace and  peace1 from ,god the  
,father and from ,christ ,jesus our     
,saviour4    #a3e4 ,for this cause ,i   
left thee in ,crete3 that thou shouldest
 set in  order the things that are      
wanting and shouldest ordain priests in 
every  city1 as ,i also appointed thee3 
#a3f4 ,if any be without crime1 the     
husband of one wife having faithful     
children1 not accused of riot or unruly4
    #a3g4 ,for a bishop must be without 
crime1 as the steward of ,god3 not      
proud1 not subject to anger1 nor given  
to wine1 no striker1 not greedy  of     
filthy lucre3    #a3h4 ,but given to    
hospitality1 gentle1 sober1 just1 holy1 
continent3    #a3i4 ,embracing that     
faithful word which is according to     
doctrine1 that  he may be able to exhort
 in sound doctrine and to convince the  
gainsayers4    #a3aj4 ,for there are    

also many disobedient1 vain talkers and 
seducers3  especially they who are of   
the circumcision4    #a3aa4 ,who must be
 reproved1 who subvert whole houses1    
teaching things  which they ought not1  
for filthy lucre's sake4    #a3ab4 ,one 
of them a prophet of their own1 said3   
,the ,cretans are always  liars1 evil   
beasts1 slothful bellies4    #a3ac4     
,this testimony is true4 ,wherefore1    
rebuke them sharply1 that they  may be  
sound in the faith3    #a3ad4 ,not      
giving heed to ,jewish fables and       
commandments of men who turn  themselves
 away from the truth4    #a3ae4 ,all    
things are clean to the clean3 but to   
them that are defiled  and to           
unbelievers1 nothing is clean3 but both 
their mind and their  conscience are    
defiled4    #a3af4 ,they profess that   
they know ,god3 but in their works they 
deny him3  being abominable and         
incredulous and to every good work      
reprobate4    ,titus ,chapter #b    ,how
 he is to instruct both old and young4  

,the duty of servants4  ,the            
,christian's rule of life4    #b3a4 ,but
 speak thou the things that become sound
 doctrine3    #b3b4 ,that the aged men  
be sober1 chaste1 prudent1 sound in     
faith1 in  love1 in patience4    #b3c4  
,the aged women1 in like manner1 in holy
 attire1 not false accusers1  not given 
to much wine1 teaching well3    #b3d4   
,that they may teach the young women to 
be wise1 to love their  husbands1 to    
love their children4    #b3e4 ,to be    
discreet1 chaste1 sober1 having a care  
of the house1 gentle1  obedient to their
 husbands3 that the word of ,god be not 
blasphemed4    #b3f4 ,young men1 in like
 manner1 exhort that they be sober4     
#b3g4 ,in all things shew thyself an    
example of good works1 in doctrine1  in 
integrity1 in gravity1    #b3h4 ,the    
sound word that can not be blamed3 that 
he who is on the  contrary part may be  
afraid1 having no evil to say of us4    
#b3i4 ,exhort servants to be obedient to
 their masters3 in all things  pleasing1

 not gainsaying3    #b3aj4 ,not         
defrauding1 but in all things shewing   
good fidelity1 that they  may adorn the 
doctrine of ,god our ,saviour in all    
things4    #b3aa4 ,for the grace of ,god
 our ,saviour hath appeared to all men3 
#b3ab4 ,instructing us1 that1 denying   
ungodliness and worldly desires1 we     
should live soberly and justly and godly
 in this world1    #b3ac4 ,looking for  
the blessed hope and coming of the glory
 of the great  ,god and our ,saviour    
,jesus ,christ4    #b3ad4 ,who gave     
himself for us1 that he might redeem us 
from all iniquity  and might cleanse to 
himself a people acceptable1 a pursuer  
of good  works4    #b3ae4 ,these things 
speak and exhort and rebuke with all    
authority4  ,let  no man despise thee4  
,titus ,chapter #c    ,other            
instructions and directions for life and
 doctrine4    #c3a4 ,admonish them to be
 subject to princes and powers1 to obey 
at a  word1 to be ready to every good   
work4    #c3b4 ,to speak evil of no man1

 not to be litigious but gentle3 shewing
  all mildness towards all men4    #c3c4
 ,for we ourselves also were some time  
unwise1 incredulous1 erring1  slaves to 
divers desires and pleasures1 living in 
malice and envy1  hateful and hating one
 another4    #c3d4 ,but when the        
goodness and kindness of ,god our       
,saviour appeared3    #c3e4 ,not by the 
works of justice which we have done1 but
 according to  his mercy1 he saved us1  
by the laver of regeneration and        
renovation of  the ,holy ,ghost4        
#c3f4 ,whom he hath poured forth upon us
 abundantly1 through ,jesus ,christ  our
 ,saviour3    #c3g4 ,that1 being        
justified by his grace1 we may be heirs 
according to  hope of life everlasting4 
#c3h4 ,it is a faithful saying4 ,and    
these things ,i will have thee affirm   
constantly1 that they who believe in    
,god may be careful to excel in good    
works4 ,these things are good and       
profitable unto men4    #c3i4 ,but avoid
 foolish questions and genealogies and  

contentions and  strivings about the    
law4 ,for they are unprofitable and     
vain4    #c3aj4 ,a man that is a        
heretic1 after the first and second     
admonition1  avoid3    #c3aa4 ,knowing  
that he that is such an one is subverted
 and sinneth1  being condemned by his   
own judgment4    ,by his own judgment444
 ,other offenders are judged1 and cast  
out of the  church1 by the sentence of  
the pastors of the same church4         
,heretics1  more unhappy1 run out of the
 church of their own accord1 and by     
doing  so1 give judgment and sentence   
against their own souls4    #c3ab4 ,when
 ,i shall send to thee ,artemas or      
,tychicus1 make haste to come  unto me  
to ,nicopolis4 ,for there ,i have       
determined to winter4    #c3ac4 ,send   
forward ,zenas the lawyer and ,apollo1  
with care that nothing  be wanting to   
them4    #c3ad4 ,and let our men also   
learn to excel in good works for        
necessary  uses3 that they be not       
unfruitful4    #c3ae4 ,all that are with

 me salute thee4 ,salute them that love 
us in the  faith4 ,the grace of ,god be 
with you all4 ,amen4
