1:1  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;
1:2  In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages began;
1:3  But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
1:4  To Titus, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
1:5  For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed you:
1:6  If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of rebellion or unruly.
1:7  For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not violent, not given to dishonest gain;
1:8  But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good, sensible, just, holy, temperate;
1:9  Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to refute the opposition.
1:10  For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision:
1:11  Whose mouths must be stopped, who ruin whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain.
1:12  One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.
1:13  This witness is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
1:14  Not giving heed to Jewish myths, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
1:15  Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.
1:16  They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
