nkjv - Titus:1:5-16

nkjv@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you--

nkjv@Titus:1:6 @ if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination.

nkjv@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,

nkjv@Titus:1:8 @ but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled,

nkjv@Titus:1:9 @ holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

nkjv@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

nkjv@Titus:1:11 @ whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain.

nkjv@Titus:1:12 @ One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."

nkjv@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

nkjv@Titus:1:14 @ not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth.

nkjv@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

nkjv@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.
