Paul, bondman of God and apostle of Jesus Christ according to faith of God’s elect, and full knowledge of truth that is according to piety;

upon hope of life eternal which God that cannot lie promised before the times of the ages,

but manifested in its own seasons his word in a preaching, with which I was entrusted, according to command of our Saviour God;

to Titus, genuine child according to common faith: grace and peace from God [the] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest order further the things wanting, and appoint elders city by city, as I directed thee.

If anyone is blameless, husband of one wife, having children faithful, not under charge of profligacy, or unruly.

For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-willed, not passionate, not quarrelsome, not a striker, not a seeker of base lucre;

but hospitable, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, temperate,

holding to the faithful word that is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to encourage in the healthful doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.

For there are many unruly ones, vain speakers and deceivers, specially those of [the] circumcision,

whose mouths must be stopped, who are such as overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not for filthy lucre’s sake.

One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, ’Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, idle bellies.’

This testimony is true: for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be healthful in the faith,

not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men turning away as they do from the truth.

To the pure all things [are] pure; but to the defiled and unfaithful [is] nothing pure; but both their mind and their conscience have been defiled.

They profess to know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
