Read Bible Book Of Titus Chapter 1 In Online
1 - Paul, A Servant Of God And An Apostle Of Jesus Christ For The Faith Of God's Elect And The Knowledge Of The Truth That Leads To Godliness--
2 - A Faith And Knowledge Resting On The Hope Of Eternal Life, Which God, Who Does Not Lie, Promised Before The Beginning Of Time,
3 - And At His Appointed Season He Brought His Word To Light Through The Preaching Entrusted To Me By The Command Of God Our Savior,
4 - To Titus, My True Son In Our Common Faith: Grace And Peace From God The Father And Christ Jesus Our Savior.
5 - The Reason I Left You In Crete Was That You Might Straighten Out What Was Left Unfinished And Appoint Elders In Every Town, As I Directed You.
6 - An Elder Must Be Blameless, The Husband Of But One Wife, A Man Whose Children Believe And Are Not Open To The Charge Of Being Wild And Disobedient.
7 - Since An Overseer Is Entrusted With God's Work, He Must Be Blameless--not Overbearing, Not Quick-tempered, Not Given To Drunkenness, Not Violent, Not Pursuing Dishonest Gain.
8 - Rather He Must Be Hospitable, One Who Loves What Is Good, Who Is Self-controlled, Upright, Holy And Disciplined.
9 - He Must Hold Firmly To The Trustworthy Message As It Has Been Taught, So That He Can Encourage Others By Sound Doctrine And Refute Those Who Oppose It.
10 - For There Are Many Rebellious People, Mere Talkers And Deceivers, Especially Those Of The Circumcision Group.
11 - They Must Be Silenced, Because They Are Ruining Whole Households By Teaching Things They Ought Not To Teach--and That For The Sake Of Dishonest Gain.
12 - Even One Of Their Own Prophets Has Said, "Cretans Are Always Liars, Evil Brutes, Lazy Gluttons."
13 - This Testimony Is True. Therefore, Rebuke Them Sharply, So That They Will Be Sound In The Faith
14 - And Will Pay No Attention To Jewish Myths Or To The Commands Of Those Who Reject The Truth.
15 - To The Pure, All Things Are Pure, But To Those Who Are Corrupted And Do Not Believe, Nothing Is Pure. In Fact, Both Their Minds And Consciences Are Corrupted.
16 - They Claim To Know God, But By Their Actions They Deny Him. They Are Detestable, Disobedient And Unfit For Doing Anything Good.
