rkjnt - Titus:1:5-16

rkjnt@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that remained, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you.

rkjnt@Titus:1:6 @ Elders must be blameless, the husband of one wife, whose children believe and are not accused of being profligate or unruly.

rkjnt@Titus:1:7 @ For an overseer must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for gain;

rkjnt@Titus:1:8 @ But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good, sensible, just, holy, self-controlled;

rkjnt@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 to refute those who oppose it.

rkjnt@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many unruly and empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision:

rkjnt@Titus:1:11 @ Whose mouths must be stopped, for they are subverting whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for sordid gain.

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

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

rkjnt@Titus:1:14 @ Not giving heed to Jewish myths, and commandments of men who turn from the truth.

rkjnt@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure all things are pure: but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and consciences are defiled.

rkjnt@Titus:1:16 @ They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him; being detestable, and disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
