Titus:1:5-16
gltv@Titus:1:5 @ For this cause I left you in Crete, that you might set in order the things lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I ordered you:
gltv@Titus:1:6 @ If anyone is blameless, husband of one wife, having faithful children, not in accusation of loose behavior, or disobedient,
gltv@Titus:1:7 @ (for the overseer must be blameless as a steward of God), not self-pleasing, not prone to anger, not given to wine, not a quarreler, not greedy of ill gain;
gltv@Titus:1:8 @ but hospitable, a lover of good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
gltv@Titus:1:9 @ clinging to the faithful word according to the teaching, that he may be able both to encourage by sound doctrine and to convict the ones contradicting.
gltv@Titus:1:10 @ For there are indeed many disobedient men, empty talkers and mind-deluders, especially those of the circumcision,
gltv@Titus:1:11 @ whose mouth you must stop, who overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not for the sake of ill gain.
gltv@Titus:1:12 @ One of them, a prophet of their own, said: Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.
gltv@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true; for which cause convict them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
gltv@Titus:1:14 @ not listening to Jewish myths and commandments of men, having turned away from the truth.
gltv@Titus:1:15 @ Truly, all things are pure to the pure, but to the ones having been defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience has been defiled.
gltv@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but by their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and worthless to every good work.
