Titus 1:1-10

1Paul, 1a bond-servant of God and an 2apostle of Jesus Christ, 3for the faith of those 4chosen of God and 5the knowledge of the truth which is 6according to godliness, 2in 7the hope of eternal life, which God, 8who cannot lie, 9promised 10 11long ages ago, 3but 12at the proper time revealed His word in 13the proclamation 14with which I was entrusted 15according to the commandment of 16God our Savior;

4To 17Titus, 18my true 19son 20in a 21common faith: 22Grace and peace from God the Father and 23Christ Jesus our Savior.

5For this reason I left you in 24Crete, that you would set in order what remains and 25appoint 26elders in every city as I directed you, 6namely, 27if any man is beyond reproach, the 28husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of 29indecent behavior or 30rebellion. 7For the 31 32overseer must be beyond reproach as 33God’s steward, not 34self-willed, not quick-tempered, not 35overindulging in wine, not 36a bully, 37not greedy for money, 8but 38hospitable, 39loving what is good, self-controlled, righteous, holy, disciplined, 9 40holding firmly the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to 41exhort in 42sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it.

10 43For there are many 44rebellious people, 45empty talkers and deceivers, especially 46those of the circumcision,
