Wesley Version
1755 by John Wesley
Tit 1:1 Paul a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in things concerning the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is after godliness,
Tit 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Tit 1:3 And he hath in due time manifested his word, thro' the preaching wherewith I am intrusted, according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
Tit 1:4 To Titus my own son after the common faith, grace, mercy, peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Tit 1:5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest set in order the things which remain, and ordain elders in every city, as I appointed thee:
Tit 1:6 If a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of luxury or unruly.
Tit 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not given to wine, no striker, not desirous of filthy gain:
Tit 1:8 But a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, prudent, just, holy, temperate, Holding fast the faithful word,
Tit 1:9 as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Tit 1:10 For there are many unruly vain-talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision,
Tit 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain.
Tit 1:12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, hath said, The Cretans are always liars, evil wild-beasts, lazy gluttons.
Tit 1:13 This witness is true; therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Tit 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Tit 1:15 To the clean all things are clean; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is clean; but both their understanding and conscience are defiled.
Tit 1:16 They profess to know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and void of judgment as to every good work.
Tit 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine, That the aged men be vigilant,
Tit 2:2 serious, prudent, sound in faith, love, patience:
Tit 2:3 That the aged women in like manner, be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things:
Tit 2:4 That they instruct the young women to be wise, to love their husbands,
Tit 2:5 to love their chidren, Discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Tit 2:6 The young men likewise exhort to be discreet, In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works,
Tit 2:7 in doctrine, uncorruptness, seriousness, Sound speech that cannot be reproved;
Tit 2:8 that he who is on the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.
Tit 2:9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, to please them in all things,
Tit 2:10 not answering again, Not stealing, but shewing all good fidelity, that they may in all things adorn the gospel of God our Saviour.
Tit 2:11 For the saving grace of God hath appeared to all men,
Tit 2:12 Teaching us, that, having renounced ungodliness and all wordly desires, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present world,
Tit 2:13 Looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God, even our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Tit 2:15 These things speak and exhort, and rebuke with all authority: let no man despise thee.
Tit 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work:
Tit 3:2 To speak evil of no man, not to be quarrelsome, to be gentle, shewing all meekness toward all men.
Tit 3:3 For we also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, inslaved to various desires and pleasures, living in wickedness and envy, hateful, hating one another:
Tit 3:4 But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Saviour appeared,
Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
Tit 3:6 Which he poured forth richly upon us,
Tit 3:7 through Jesus Christ our Saviour, That, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs, according to the hope of eternal life.
Tit 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, to the end that they who have believed in God, be careful to excel in good works: these things are good and profitable to men.
Tit 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Tit 3:10 An heretic after a first and second admonition reject,
Tit 3:11 Knowing that such an one is perverted and sinneth, being self-condemned.
Tit 3:12 When I shall send Artemas or Tychicus to thee, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have determined to winter there.
Tit 3:13 Send forward with diligence Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that they may want nothing.
Tit 3:14 And let ours also learn to excell in good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
Tit 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
