Paul's Letter to Titus, Chapter 1
{1:1} Paul, a servant of God, and an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah,
according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the
truth which is according to godliness, {1:2} in hope of eternal life,
which God, who can't lie, promised before time began; {1:3} but in his
own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted
according to the commandment of God our Savior; {1:4} to Titus, my
true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from
God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah our Savior.
{1:5} I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in
order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city,
as I directed you; {1:6} if anyone is blameless, the husband of one
wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or
unruly behavior. {1:7} For the overseer must be blameless, as God's
steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not
violent, not greedy for dishonest gain; {1:8} but given to
hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy,
self-controlled; {1:9} holding to the faithful word which is according
to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine,
and to convict those who contradict him. {1:10} For there are also
many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the
circumcision, {1:11} whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow
whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest
gain's sake. {1:12} One of them, a prophet of their own, said,
"Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons." {1:13}
This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that
they may be sound in the faith, {1:14} not paying attention to Jewish
fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. {1:15} To
the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and
unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience
are defiled. {1:16} They profess that they know God, but by their
works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any
good work.
