lont - Titus:1:5-16

lont@Titus:1:5 @ For this purpose, I left you in Crete, that you might set in order the things left unfinished, and to ordain seniors in every city, as I commanded you.

lont@Titus:1:6 @ If any one be without blame, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not accused of riotous living, nor unruly.

lont@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop should be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not prone to anger, not given to wine, not a striker, not one who makes gain by base methods;

lont@Titus:1:8 @ but hospitable; a lover of good men, prudent, just, holy, temperate;

lont@Titus:1:9 @ holding fast the true doctrine, as he has been taught; that he may be able, by wholesome teaching, both to exhort and to confute the gain-sayers.

lont@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many unruly and foolish talked and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

lont@Titus:1:11 @ whose mouths must be stopped; who subvert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.

lont@Titus:1:12 @ «One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said,» 'The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy bodies.'

lont@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be healthy in the faith-

lont@Titus:1:14 @ not giving heed to Jewish fables, and precepts of men who pervert the truth.

lont@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure, all meats are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving, nothing is pure; for both their understanding and conscience are polluted.

lont@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God; but by works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
