Titus:1:7-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For a bishop must (
5748 )
be (
5750 )
blameless ,
as the steward of God ;
not selfwilled ,
not soon angry ,
not given to wine ,
no striker ,
not given to filthy lucre ;
*
But a lover of hospitality ,
a lover of good men ,
sober ,
just ,
holy ,
temperate ;
*
Holding fast (
5740 )
the faithful word as he hath been taught ,
that he may be (
5753 )
able by sound (
5723 )
doctrine both to exhort (
5721 )
and to convince (
5721 )
the gainsayers (
5723 ).
*
For there are (
5748 )
many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers ,
specially they of the circumcision :
*
Whose mouths must (
5748 )
be stopped (
5721 ),
who subvert (
5719 )
whole houses ,
teaching (
5723 )
things which they ought (
5748 )
not ,
for filthy lucres sake .
*
One of themselves ,
even a prophet of their own ,
said (
5627 ),
The Cretians are alway liars ,
evil beasts ,
slow bellies .
*
This witness is (
5748 )
true .
Wherefore rebuke (
5720 )
them sharply ,
that they may be sound (
5725 )
in the faith ;
*
Not giving heed (
5723 )
to Jewish fables ,
and commandments of men ,
that turn from (
5734 )
the truth .
*
Unto the pure all things are pure :
but unto them that are defiled (
5772 )
and unbelieving is nothing pure ;
but even their mind and conscience is defiled (
5769 ).
*
They profess (
5719 )
that they know (
5760 )
God ;
but in works they deny (
5736 )
him ,
being (
5752 )
abominable ,
and disobedient ,
and unto every good work reprobate .
