drb Titus:1:5-16
drb@Titus:1:5 @For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
drb@Titus:1:6 @If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
drb@Titus:1:7 @For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
drb@Titus:1:8 @But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
drb@Titus:1:9 @Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
drb@Titus:1:10 @For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
drb@Titus:1:11 @Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
drb@Titus:1:12 @One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
drb@Titus:1:13 @This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
drb@Titus:1:14 @Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
drb@Titus:1:15 @All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
drb@Titus:1:16 @They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
