Titus 1

1 For what end Titus was left in Crete. 6 How they that are to be chosen ministers ought to be qualified. 11 The mouths of evil teachers to be stopped: 12 and what manner of men they be.

 1:1 ¶ Paul, 3972 a servant 1401 of God, 2316 and 1161 an apostle 652 of Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 according x2596 to y2596 the faith 4102 of God's 2316 elect, 1588 and 2532 the acknowledging 1922 of the truth 225 which 3588 is after 2596 godliness; 2150

 1:2 In 1909 hope 1680 of eternal 166 life, 2222 which 3739 God, 2316 that cannot lie, 893 promised 1861 z5662 before 4253 the world y166 began; 5550 x166

 1:3 But 1161 hath y5319 z0 in due 2398 times 2540 manifested 5319 z5656 his y846 x848 word 3056 through 1722 preaching, 2782 which 3739 is committed 4100 z5681 unto me 1473 according x2596 to y2596 the commandment 2003 of God 2316 our 2257 Saviour; 4990

 1:4 To Titus, 5103 [mine] own 1103 son 5043 after 2596 the common 2839 faith: 4102 Grace, 5485 mercy, 1656 [and] peace, 1515 from 575 God 2316 the Father 3962 and 2532 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 our 2257 Saviour. 4990 x1

 1:5 For this y5127 cause y5484 x5485 x5127 left x2641 I y2641 z5627 thee 4571 in 1722 Crete, 2914 that 2443 thou shouldest set in order 1930 z5672 the things that are wanting, 3007 z5723 and 2532 ordain 2525 z5661 elders 4245 in every y2596 city, 4172 x2596 as 5613 I 1473 had appointed 1299 z5668 thee: 4671

 1:6 If any 1536 be 2076 z5748 blameless, 410 the husband 435 of one 3391 wife, 1135 having 2192 z5723 faithful 4103 children 5043 not 3361 accused 1722 2724 of riot 810 or 2228 unruly. 506

 1:7 For 1063 a bishop 1985 must 1163 z5748 be 1511 z5750 blameless, 410 as 5613 the steward 3623 of God; 2316 not 3361 selfwilled, 829 not 3361 soon angry, 3711 not 3361 given to wine, 3943 no 3361 striker, 4131 not 3361 given to filthy lucre; 146

 1:8 But 235 a lover of hospitality, 5382 a lover of good men, 5358 sober, 4998 just, 1342 holy, 3741 temperate; 1468

 1:9 Holding fast 472 z5740 the x3588 faithful 4103 word 3056 as y2596 he hath been taught, 1322 x2596 that 2443 he may be 5600 z5753 able 1415 by 1722 sound 5198 z5723 doctrine 1319 both 2532 to exhort 3870 z5721 and 2532 to convince 1651 z5721 the x3588 gainsayers. 483 z5723

 1:10 For 1063 there are 1526 z5748 many 4183 unruly 506 x2532 and y2532 vain talkers 3151 and 2532 deceivers, 5423 specially 3122 they x3588 of 1537 the circumcision: 4061

 1:11 Whose 3739 mouths y1993 z0 must y1163 z5748 be stopped, 1993 z5721 x1163 who 3748 subvert 396 z5719 whole 3650 houses, 3624 teaching 1321 z5723 things which 3739 they ought 1163 z5748 not, 3361 for y5484 z0 filthy y150 lucre's y2771 sake. 5484 x150 x2771

 1:12 One 5100 of 1537 themselves, 846 [even] a prophet 4396 of their 846 own, 2398 said, 2036 z5627 The Cretians 2912 [are] alway 104 liars, 5583 evil 2556 beasts, 2342 slow 692 bellies. 1064

 1:13 This 3778 witness 3141 is 2076 z5748 true. 227 Wherefore 1223 3739 156 rebuke 1651 z5720 them 846 sharply, 664 that 2443 they may be sound 5198 z5725 in 1722 the x3588 faith; 4102

 1:14 Not 3361 giving heed 4337 z5723 to Jewish 2451 fables, 3454 and 2532 commandments 1785 of men, 444 that turn from 654 z5734 the x3588 truth. 225

 1:15 Unto the x3588 pure 2513 all things 3956 [are] x3303 pure: 2513 y3303 but 1161 unto them x3588 that are defiled 3392 z5772 and 2532 unbelieving 571 [is] nothing 3762 pure; 2513 but 235 even 2532 their 846 mind 3563 and 2532 conscience 4893 is defiled. 3392 z5769

 1:16 They profess 3670 z5719 that they know 1492 z5760 God; 2316 but 1161 in works 2041 they deny 720 z5736 [him], being 5607 z5752 abominable, 947 and 2532 disobedient, 545 and 2532 unto 4314 every 3956 good 18 work 2041 reprobate. 96
