web - Titus:1:5-16

web@Titus:1:5 @ I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;

web@Titus:1:6 @ if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

web@Titus:1:7 @ For the overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

web@Titus:1:8 @ but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled;

web@Titus:1:9 @ holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

web@Titus:1:10 @ For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

web@Titus:1:11 @ whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain's sake.

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

web@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

web@Titus:1:14 @ not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

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

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