mnt@Titus:1:1 @ To Titus, my true son in a common faith, from Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and to the knowledge of the truth which goes with piety;
mnt@Titus:1:2 @ I write in hope of life eternal which God who never lies, promised before times eternal,
mnt@Titus:1:3 @ but manifested in his own time; that word of his in proclaiming which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour.
mnt@Titus:1:4 @ Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
mnt@Titus:1:5 @ I left you in Crete for this reason, that you might set right the things left unfinished, and appoint presbyters in every city as I had instructed you;
mnt@Titus:1:6 @ men who are blameless, the husband of one wife, with believing children who are not accused of riot or insubordination.
mnt@Titus:1:7 @ For indeed a presiding officer, as Gods steward, ought to be blameless, not self-willed or quick-tempered, not a drunkard or violent, or greedy of filthy lucre;
mnt@Titus:1:8 @ but he must be hospitable, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled.
mnt@Titus:1:9 @ He must hold to the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may be able both to encourage by sound teaching, and to confute our opponents.
mnt@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many individuals who are unruly, empty talkers and deceivers, particularly those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped;
mnt@Titus:1:11 @ for they upset whole households and, for filthy lucres sake, teach what they ought not to teach.
mnt@Titus:1:12 @ By one of their own number, by a prophet of their own, it has been said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons."
mnt@Titus:1:14 @ so as to make them sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
mnt@Titus:1:15 @ All things are pure to the pure; but to the contaminated and the faithless nothing is pure, nay, their very minds and consciences are tainted.
mnt@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but by their deeds they disown him; in that they are detestable, disobedient, and reprobate for good work of any sort.
