Chapter 1
1 Paul, bondman of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ according to [the] faith of God's elect, and knowledge of [the] truth which [is] according to piety;
3:16; 3:16; 6:3; 6:3; 2:25; 2:25;
2 in [the] hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time,
23:19; 23:19; 16:25; 16:25; 1:1; 1:1; 1:9; 1:9; 2:13; 2:13; 3:7; 3:7; 1:20; 1:20;
3 but has manifested in its own due season his word, in [the] proclamation with which I have been entrusted, according to [the] commandment of our Saviour God;
2:4; 2:4; 1:1; 1:1; 1:11; 1:11; 2:3; 2:3; 4:10; 4:10; 1:10; 1:10;
4 to Titus, my own child according to [the] faith common [to us]: Grace and peace from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
1:12; 1:12; 2:13; 2:13; 4:13; 4:13; 7:13; 7:13; 8:6; 8:6; 8:16; 8:16; 8:23; 8:23; 12:18; 12:18; 2:3; 2:3; 1:2; 1:2; 1:2; 1:2; 1:2; 1:2; 1:2; 1:2; 1:2; 1:1; 1:1;
5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest go on to set right what remained [unordered], and establish elders in each city, as I had ordered thee:
14:23; 14:23; 11:34; 11:34; 2:2; 2:2;
6 if any one be free from all charge [against him], husband of one wife, having believing children not accused of excess or unruly.
3:2; 3:2; 3:4; 3:4; 3:12; 3:12; 3:12;
7 For the overseer must be free from all charge [against him] as God's steward; not headstrong, not passionate, not disorderly through wine, not a striker, not seeking gain by base means;
10:9; 10:9; 24:45; 24:45; 4:1; 4:1; 4:2; 4:2; 5:18; 5:18; 3:3; 3:3; 3:3; 3:8; 3:8; 3:8; 5:2; 5:2;
8 but hospitable, a lover of goodness, discreet, just, pious, temperate,
9 clinging to the faithful word according to the doctrine taught, that he may be able both to encourage with sound teaching and refute gainsayers.
2:15; 2:15; 1:2; 1:2; 1:10; 1:10; 1:15; 1:15; 4:9; 4:9; 6:3; 6:3; 6:3; 1:13; 1:13; 2:2; 2:2; 4:3; 4:3; 2:1; 2:1;
10 For there are many and disorderly vain speakers and deceivers of people's minds, specially those of [the] circumcision,
11 who must have their mouths stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which ought not [to be taught] for the sake of base gain.
23:14; 23:14; 15:1; 15:1; 6:5; 6:5; 3:6; 3:6;
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
13:10; 13:10; 4:2; 4:2; 2:2; 2:2;
14 not turning [their] minds to Jewish fables and commandments of men turning away from the truth.
29:13; 29:13; 15:9; 15:9; 1:4; 1:4; 4:7; 4:7; 4:4; 4:4; 2:22; 2:22;
15 All things [are] pure to the pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing [is] pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
11:-2; 11:-2; 14:14; 14:14; 14:20; 14:20; 14:33; 14:33; 6:12; 6:12; 10:23; 10:23; 10:25; 10:25; 4:3; 4:3; 4:4; 4:4;
16 They profess to know God, but in works deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and found worthless as to every good work.
