¹ Paul, a bondman 1401 of God, 2316 and 1161 apostle 652 of Jesus Christ, 5547 for 2596 belief 4102 of the chosen 1588 of God, 2316 and 2532 full knowledge 1922 of truth, 225 of the one 3588 according to 2596 piety; 2150

² unto 1909 the hope 1680 of life 2222 eternal, 166 which 3739 [⁴promised 1861 ¹the 3588 ³incapable of falsehood 893 ²God] 2316 before 4253 times 5550 eternal, 166

³ but 1161 manifested 5319 [²times 2540 ¹in his own ] -- 2398 3588 his 1473 word 3056 by 1722 proclamation, 2782 which 3739 I was entrusted with according to 2596 command 2003 3588 [²our 1473 deliverer 4990 ¹of God]. 2316

⁴ To Titus genuine 1103 child 5043 according to 2596 our common 2839 belief. 4102 Favor, 5484 mercy, 1656 peace 1515 from 575 God 2316 the father, 3962 and 2532 of the Lord 2962 Jesus Christ 5547 3588 our 1473 deliverer. 4990

⁵ For this 3778 favor 5484 I left 2641 you 1473 in 1722 Crete, that 2443 the things 3588 missing 3007 you should correct, 1930 and 2532 should place 2525 in every city elders, 4245 as 5613 I 1473 set in order for you to do.

⁶ If anyone 1536 is without reproach, 410 [²of one 1520 ³wife 1135 ¹husband], 435 [³children 5043 ¹having 2192 ²trustworthy], 4103 not 3361 with 1722 a charge 2724 of carnality, 810 or 2228 unsubmissiveness. 506

⁷ For it is necessary the 3588 overseer 1985 to be without reproach, as 5613 God's 2316 manager; 3623 not 3361 self-willed, 829 not 3361 prone to anger, 3711 not 3361 intemperate in the use of wine, 3943 not 3361 a brawler, 4131 not 3361 profiting through vice; 146

⁸ but 235 hospitable, 5382 friend of good men, 5358 discreet, 4998 just, 1342 sacred, 3741 self-controlled, 1468

⁹ holding to 472 3588 [³according to 2596 ⁴the 3588 ⁵teaching 1322 ¹ the trustworthy 4103 ²word], 3056 that 2443 he might be able both 2532 to encourage 3870 in 1722 the 3588 [²teaching 1319 3588 ¹sound], 5198 and 2532 [²the ones 3588 ³disputing 483 ¹to reprove]. 1651

¹⁰ For there are many 4183 unsubmissive 506 and 2532 vain talkers 3151 and 2532 mind-deceivers, 5423 especially 3122 the ones 3588 of 1537 the circumcision, 4061

¹¹ whom 3739 it is necessary 1163 to muzzle, 1993 who 3748 [²entire 3650 ³houses 3624 ¹upset], 396 teaching 1321 what 3739 they must not, [²of shameful 149 ³gain 2771 ¹for favor]. 5484

¹² There said 2036 a certain one 5100 of 1537 them, 1473 [²of their own ¹a prophet], 4396 Cretans continually 104 are liars, 5583 evil 2556 wild beasts, 2342 [²bellies 1064 ¹idle]. 692

¹³ 3588 This 3778 testimony 3141 is true; 227 for 1223 which 3739 reason 156 reprove 1651 them 1473 severely! 664 that 2443 they should be sound 5198 in 1722 the 3588 belief, 4102

¹⁴ not 3361 giving heed 4337 to Jewish fables, 3454 and 2532 commandments 1785 of men, 444 turning away from 654 the 3588 truth. 225

¹⁵ All things 3956 indeed 3303 are pure 2513 to the 3588 pure; 2513 but to the ones being defiled 3392 and 2532 unbelieving 571 nothing 3762 is pure; 2513 but 235 [⁵are defiled 3392 ¹even 2532 their 1473 3588 ²mind 3563 ³and 2532 3588 ⁴conscience]. 4893

¹⁶ God 2316 they acknowledge 3670 to know, 1492 but in the works 2041 they deny, 720 being abominable 947 and 2532 resisting persuasion, 545 and 2532 [²to 4314 ³every 3956 ⁵work 2041 ⁴good 18 ¹rejected]. 96

¹ But 1161 you 1473 speak 2980 what 3739 is becoming 4241 3588 for sound 5198 instruction. 1319

² Old men 4246 are to be sober, serious, 4586 discreet, 4998 being sound 5198 in the 3588 belief, 4102 in the 3588 love, 26 in the 3588 endurance. 5281

³ Old women 4247 likewise 5615 with 1722 [²character 2688 ¹a consecrated], 2412 not 3361 slanderers, 1228 not 3361 [³wine 3631 ²to much 4183 ¹being enslaved], 1402 teachers of virtue. 2567

⁴ That 2443 [³are to be of a sound mind 4994 ¹the 3588 ²young women], 3501 to be ones loving their husbands, ones fond of children, 5388

⁵ discreet, 4998 pure, 53 housekeepers, 3626 good, 18 ones being submitted 5293 to their 3588 own 2398 husbands, 435 that 2443 [⁵not 3361 ¹the 3588 ²word 3056 3588 ³of God 2316 ⁴should] be blasphemed. 987

⁶ The 3588 younger men 3501 likewise 5615 enjoin 3870 to be of a sound mind. 4993

⁷ In 4012 all things 3956 [²yourself 4572 ¹making] 3930 a model 5179 of good 2570 works, 2041 in 1722 3588 teaching, 1319 integrity, 90 seriousness, 4587 incorruptibility, 861

⁸ [²word 3056 ¹sound], 5199 not open to condemnation, 176 that 2443 the one 3588 at 1537 opposite 1727 should be ashamed, 1788 [²nothing 3367 ¹having 2192 ⁵concerning 4012 ⁶us 1473 ⁴to say 3004 ³heedless]. 5337

⁹ Bondmen 1401 [²to their own 2398 ³masters 1203 ¹ are to be submitted], 5293 in 1722 everything 3956 to be well-pleasing, not 3361 disputing, 483

¹⁰ not 3361 pilfering, 3557 but 235 [⁴belief 4102 ²all 3956 ¹demonstrating 1731 ³good], 18 that 2443 the 3588 teaching 1319 3588 [²our 1473 deliverer 4990 ¹of God] 2316 should be adorned 2885 in 1722 all things . 3956

¹¹ [⁵appeared 2014 ¹For 1063 ²the 3588 ³favor 5484 3588 ⁴of God] -- 2316 the 3588 deliverance 4992 to all 3956 men, 444

¹² correcting 3811 us, 1473 that 2443 denying 720 3588 impiety 763 and 2532 the 3588 worldly 2886 desires, 1939 sanely 4996 and 2532 righteously 1346 and 2532 piously 2153 we should live 2198 in 1722 the 3588 present 3568 eon, 165

¹³ awaiting 4327 the 3588 blessed 3107 hope 1680 and 2532 grandeur 2015 of the 3588 glory 1391 of the 3588 great 3173 God 2316 and 2532 our 1473 deliverer 4990 Jesus Christ; 5547

¹⁴ who 3739 gave 1325 himself 1438 for 5228 us, 1473 that 2443 he should ransom 3084 us 1473 from 575 all 3956 lawlessness, 458 and 2532 should cleanse 2511 to himself 1438 [²people 2992 ¹a prized], 4041 zealous 2207 of good 2570 works. 2041

¹⁵ These things 3778 speak, 2980 and 2532 encourage, 3870 and 2532 reprove 1651 with 3326 all 3956 command! 2003 [²no one 3367 ⁴you 1473 ¹Let ³speculate about]! 4065

3

¹ Remind 5279 them! 1473 [²to sovereignties 746 ³and 2532 ⁴authorities 1849 ¹to submit], 5293 to yield obedience, 3980 [²for 4314 ³every 3956 ⁵work 2041 ⁴good 18 ¹to be prepared],

² [²no one 3367 ¹to ³blaspheme], 987 to not be quarrelsome, but lenient, 1933 [²all 3956 ¹demonstrating] 1731 gentleness 4236 to 4314 all 3956 men. 444

³ For we were at some time or other 4218 also 2532 ourselves 1473 unthinking, 453 resisting persuasion, 545 erring, 4105 being a slave 1398 to desires 1939 and 2532 [²satisfactions 2237 ¹various], 4164 [²in 1722 ³evil 2549 ⁴and 2532 ⁵envy 5355 ¹leading] , 1236 odious, 4767 detesting 3404 one another. 240

⁴ And 1161 when 3753 the 3588 graciousness 5544 and 2532 the 3588 humane treatment 5363 appeared 2014 3588 [²our 1473 deliverer 4990 ¹of God], 2316

⁵ not 3756 from 1537 works 2041 3588 in 1722 righteousness 1343 which 3739 we 1473 did, 4160 but 235 according to 2596 3588 his 1473 mercy 1656 he delivered 4982 us, 1473 through 1223 the bath 3067 of regeneration 3824 and 2532 renewal 342 [²spirit 4151 ¹of holy], 39

⁶ which 3739 he poured out 1632 upon 1909 us 1473 richly 4146 through 1223 Jesus Christ 5547 3588 our 1473 deliverer; 4990

⁷ that 2443 having been justified 1344 3588 by that 1565 favor, 5484 [²heirs 2818 ¹we should be] 1096 according to 2596 a hope 1680 of life 2222 eternal. 166

⁸ Trustworthy 4103 is the 3588 word; 3056 and 2532 concerning 4012 these things 3778 I want 1014 you 1473 to positively assert, 1226 that 2443 [⁴should be thoughtful 5431 ⁶good 2570 ⁷works 2041 ⁵to be set over 4291 ¹the ones 3588 ²trusting 4100 3588 ³in God]. 2316 These 3778 are the 3588 good 2570 and 2532 beneficial things 5624 3588 to men. 444
