1PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG1161 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, according toG2596 the faithG4102 ofG1588 God’sG2316 electG1588, andG2532 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225 whichG3588 is afterG2596 godlinessG2150; 2InG1909 hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 GodG2316, that cannot lieG3588G893, promisedG1861 beforeG4253 the worldG5550 beganG166; 3ButG1161 hathG5319 in dueG2398 timesG2540 manifestedG5319 hisG846 wordG3588G3056 throughG1722 preachingG2782, whichG3739 is committed untoG4100 meG1473 according toG2596 the commandmentG2003 of GodG2316 ourG1473 SaviourG3588G4990; 4To TitusG5103, mine ownG1103 sonG5043 afterG2596 the commonG2839 faithG4102: GraceG5485, mercyG1656, and peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG1473 SaviourG3588G4990.

5For thisG3778 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4771 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the thingsG3588 that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4771: 6

IfG1487 anyG5100 beG1510 blamelessG410, the husbandG435 of oneG1520 wifeG1135, havingG2192 faithfulG4103 childrenG5043 notG3361 accusedG2724 of riotG810 orG2228 unrulyG506. 7ForG1063 a bishopG3588G1985 mustG1163 beG1510 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146; 8ButG235 a lover of hospitalityG5382, a lover of good menG5358, soberG4998, justG1342, holyG3741, temperateG1468; 9Holding fastG472 the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 asG2596 he hath been taughtG3588G1322, thatG2443 he may beG1510 ableG1415 byG1722 soundG5198 doctrineG3588G1319 bothG2532 to exhortG3870 andG2532 to convinceG1651 the gainsayersG483.

10ForG1063 there areG1510 manyG4183 unrulyG506 andG2532 vain talkersG3151 andG2532 deceiversG5423, speciallyG3122 theyG3588 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061: 11WhoseG3739 mouthsG1993 mustG1163 be stoppedG1993, whoG3748 subvertG396 wholeG3650 housesG3624, teachingG1321 things whichG3739 they oughtG1163 notG3361, forG5484 filthyG150 lucre’sG2771 sakeG5484.

12OneG5100 ofG1537 themselvesG846, even a prophetG4396 of theirG846 ownG2398, saidG3004, The CretiansG2912 are alwayG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 beastsG2342, slowG692 belliesG1064. 13ThisG3778 witnessG3588G3141 isG1510 trueG227. WhereforeG1223 rebukeG1651 themG846 sharplyG664, thatG2443 they may be soundG5198 inG1722 the faithG3588G4102; 14NotG3361 giving heed toG4337 JewishG2451 fablesG3454, andG2532 commandmentsG1785 of menG444, that turn fromG654 the truthG3588G225. 15Unto the pureG2513 all thingsG3956 are pureG2513: butG1161 unto them that are defiledG3392 andG2532 unbelievingG571 is nothingG3762 pureG2513; butG235 evenG2532 theirG846 mindG3588G3563 andG2532 conscienceG3588G4893 is defiledG3392. 16They professG3670 that they knowG1492 GodG2316; butG1161 in worksG2041 they denyG720 him, beingG1510 abominableG947, andG2532 disobedientG545, andG2532 untoG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 reprobateG96.
