Titus Chapter 1

1PaulG3972, bondman of 1GodG2316, and apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 accordingG2596 to [the] faithG4102 of 2God's electG1588, and knowledgeG1922 of [the] truthG225 which [is] accordingG2596 to piety; 2in [the] hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, which 3GodG2316, who cannot lie, promisedG1861 before the ages of timeG5550, 3but has manifestedG5319 in its ownG2398 due seasonG2540 his wordG3056, in [the] proclamationG2782 with which I have been entrustedG4100, accordingG2596 to [the] commandmentG2003 of our Saviour 4GodG2316; 4to TitusG5103, my own childG5043 accordingG2596 to [the] faithG4102 commonG2839 [to us]: GraceG5485 and peaceG1515 from 5GodG2316 [the] FatherG3962, and ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our Saviour. 5For this cause I left thee in CreteG2914, that thou mightest go on to set right what remained [unordered], and establish eldersG4245 in each cityG4172, as I had ordered thee: 6if any oneG1520 beG1510 free from all charge [against him], husbandG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, having believing childrenG5043 not accused of excess or unruly. 7For the overseerG1985 must beG1510 free from all charge [against him] as 6God's stewardG3623; not headstrong, not passionate, not disorderly through wineG3943, not a striker, not seeking gainG146 by base means; 8but hospitableG5382, a lover of goodness, discreet, justG1342, pious, temperate, 9clinging to the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 accordingG2596 to the doctrineG1319 taught, that he may beG1510 ableG1415 both to encourageG3870 with soundG5198 teachingG1322 and refute gainsayers. 10For there areG1510 manyG4183 and disorderly vain speakers and deceivers of people's minds, specially those of [the] circumcisionG4061, 11who must have their mouths stopped, who subvert wholeG3650 houses, teachingG1321 thingsG3739 which oughtG1163 not [to be taughtG1321] for the sake of base gainG2771. 12OneG5100 of themselves, a prophetG4396 of their ownG2398, has saidG3004, CretansG2912 are alwaysG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 wildG2342 beastsG2342, lazy gluttons. 13This testimonyG3141 isG1510 trueG227; for which causeG156 rebukeG1651 them severely, that they may beG1510 soundG5198 in the faithG4102, 14not turningG654 [their] minds to Jewish fables and commandmentsG1785 of menG444 turningG654 awayG654 from the truthG225. 15All thingsG3956 [are] pureG2513 to the pureG2513; but to the defiled and unbelievingG571 nothing [is] pureG2513; but both their mindG3563 and their conscienceG4893 are defiled. 16They profess to know 7GodG2316, but in worksG2041 denyG720 [him], beingG1510 abominable, and disobedientG545, and found worthless as to every goodG18 workG2041.
