The Epistle Of Paul To Titus

John Bunyan at the CrossTitus 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;

Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised
before the world began;

Titus 1:3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which
is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

Titus 1:4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and
peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Titus 1:5 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:

Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful
children not accused of riot or unruly.

Titus 1:7 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;

Titus 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just,
holy, temperate;

Titus 1:9 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.

Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers,
specially they of the circumcision:

Titus 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching
things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

Titus 1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The
Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

Titus 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they
may be sound in the faith;

Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that
turn from the truth.

Titus 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 is
defiled.

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him,
being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

Titus 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in
charity, in patience.

Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh
holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their
husbands, to love their children,

Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their
own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Titus 2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

Titus 2:7 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine
showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Titus 2:8 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.

Titus 2:9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to
please them well in all things; not answering again;

Titus 2:10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all
men,

Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the
great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
Let no man despise thee.

Titus 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to
obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing
all meekness unto all men.

Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy,
hateful, and hating one another.

Titus 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared,

Titus 3:5 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;

Titus 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:8 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.

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and
strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition
reject;

Titus 3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being
condemned of himself.

Titus 3:12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to
come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

Titus 3:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently,
that nothing be wanting unto them.

Titus 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary
uses, that they be not unfruitful.

Titus 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the
faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
