Titus 1-166 KJV<\/p>
Titus<\/p>
1<\/span>1<\/span> 1) Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;<\/span> 2<\/span> 2) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;<\/span> 3<\/span> 3) But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;<\/span> 4<\/span> 4) To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.<\/span> 5<\/span> 5) For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:<\/span> 6<\/span> 6) If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.<\/span> 7<\/span> 7) For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;<\/span> 8<\/span> 8) But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;<\/span> 9<\/span> 9) Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.<\/span> 10<\/span> 10) For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:<\/span> 11<\/span> 11) Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.<\/span> 12<\/span> 12) One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.<\/span> 13<\/span> 13) This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;<\/span> 14<\/span> 14) Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.<\/span> 15<\/span> 15) Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.<\/span> 16<\/span> 16) They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.<\/span> 2<\/span>1<\/span> 1) But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:<\/span> 2<\/span> 2) That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.<\/span> 3<\/span> 3) The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;<\/span> 4<\/span> 4) That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,<\/span> 5<\/span> 5) To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.<\/span> 6<\/span> 6) Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.<\/span> 7<\/span> 7) In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,<\/span> 8<\/span> 8) Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.<\/span> 9<\/span> 9) Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;<\/span> 10<\/span> 10) Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.<\/span> 11<\/span> 11) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,<\/span> 12<\/span> 12) Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;<\/span> 13<\/span> 13) Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;<\/span> 14<\/span> 14) Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.<\/span> 15<\/span> 15) These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.<\/span> 3<\/span>1<\/span> 1) Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,<\/span> 2<\/span> 2) To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.<\/span> 3<\/span> 3) For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.<\/span> 4<\/span> 4) But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,<\/span> 5<\/span> 5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;<\/span> 6<\/span> 6) Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;<\/span> 7<\/span> 7) That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.<\/span> 8<\/span> 8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.<\/span> 9<\/span> 9) But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.<\/span> 10<\/span> 10) A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;<\/span> 11<\/span> 11) Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.<\/span> 12<\/span> 12) When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.<\/span> 13<\/span> 13) Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.<\/span> 14<\/span> 14) And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.<\/span> 15<\/span> 15) All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.<\/span> <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","ub_ctt_via":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-616","page","type-page","status-publish"],"featured_image_src":null,"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/biblereadingtoday.com\/index.php\/author\/admin\/","display_name":"admin"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 5 years ago","modified":"Updated 5 years ago"},"featured_img_caption":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblereadingtoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblereadingtoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblereadingtoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblereadingtoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblereadingtoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/biblereadingtoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/616\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblereadingtoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
