Titus:1:5-16
asv@Titus:1:5 @For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;
asv@Titus:1:6 @if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.
asv@Titus:1:7 @For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
asv@Titus:1:8 @but given to hospitality, as lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;
asv@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 the gainsayers.
asv@Titus:1:10 @For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,
asv@Titus:1:11 @whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
asv@Titus:1:12 @One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.
asv@Titus:1:13 @This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
asv@Titus:1:14 @not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
asv@Titus:1:15 @To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
asv@Titus:1:16 @They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
