Worsley Version
1770 by John Worsley
Tit 1:1 Paul a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for promoting the faith of God's chosen people, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness:
Tit 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before all ages;
Tit 1:3 and hath in his own times manifested his word, by the preaching, with which I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
Tit 1:4 to Titus my son in the common faith, grace, mercy, and 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 what remained, and ordain elders in every city as I directed thee:
Tit 1:6 to wit, if any one be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of debauchery, 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 greedy of sordid gain:
Tit 1:8 but hospitable, benevolent, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Tit 1:9 holding fast the faithful word, according as he hath been taught, that he may be able both to instruct in sound doctrine, and to convince gainsayers.
Tit 1:10 For there are many disorderly persons, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision; whose mouths must be stopped:
Tit 1:11 who subvert whole families, teaching what they ought not, for shameful gain:
Tit 1:12 as said one of themselves, a prophet of their own, "The Cretans are always liars, mischievous beasts, sluggish gluttons."
Tit 1:13 This testimony is true: for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be found in the faith;
Tit 1:14 not attending to Jewish fables, and the precepts of men who turn away from the truth.
Tit 1:15 To the pure indeed all things are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure; even their mind and conscience is polluted.
Tit 1:16 They profess to know God, but in works deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every thing that is good void of understanding.
Tit 2:1 But do thou speak the things which become sound doctrine:
Tit 2:2 that aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, in patience:
Tit 2:3 the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
Tit 2:4 that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent,
Tit 2:5 chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
Tit 2:6 Exhort the young men in like manner to be temperate:
Tit 2:7 in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;
Tit 2:8 that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you.
Tit 2:9 Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things,
Tit 2:10 not answering frowardly, not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Tit 2:11 For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men;
Tit 2:12 teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in this present world;
Tit 2:13 looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and 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 reprove offenders with all authority: that none may despise thee.
Tit 3:1 Admonish them to be submissive to governors and magistrates, to obey their orders, and to be ready to every good work;
Tit 3:2 to slander no man, to avoid contention, to be gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
Tit 3:3 For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, going astray, enslaved to various disorderly appetites and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Tit 3:4 But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man appeared,
Tit 3:5 not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Spirit;
Tit 3:6 which He hath plentifully shed upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:
Tit 3:7 that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Tit 3:8 This is a word which ought to believed and observed, and concerning these things I would have thee stedfastly affirm, that they who have believed in God be careful to excel in good works: for these things are good and profitable to men.
Tit 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes and contentions about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain:
Tit 3:10 reject therefore such an heretical man, after the first and second admonition; knowing that such a one is perverted,
Tit 3:11 and sinneth as being self-condemned.
Tit 3:12 When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, endeavour to come to me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.
Tit 3:13 Forward Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, on their journey carefully, that nothing may be wanting to them.
Tit 3:14 And let our brethren-also learn to excel in good works for necessary exigencies, that they may not be unfruitful.
Tit 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
