Tit 1:1From Paul, a slave of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God's chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,

Tit 1:2

Tit 1:2in hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the ages began.

Qualifications of Elders

Tit 1:5

Tit 1:5The reason I left you in Crete was to set in order the remaining matters and to appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.

Tit 1:6

Tit 1:6An elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.

Tit 1:7

Tit 1:7For the overseer must be blameless as one entrusted with God's work, not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.

Tit 1:8

Tit 1:8Instead he must be hospitable, devoted to what is good, sensible, upright, devout, and self-controlled.

Tit 1:9

Tit 1:9He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught, so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching and correct those who speak against it.

Tit 1:10

Tit 1:10For there are many rebellious people, idle talkers, and deceivers, especially those with Jewish connections,

Tit 1:11

Tit 1:11who must be silenced because they mislead whole families by teaching for dishonest gain what ought not to be taught.

Tit 1:12

Tit 1:12A certain one of them, in fact, one of their own prophets, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."

Tit 1:13

Tit 1:13Such testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply that they may be healthy in the faith

Tit 1:14

Tit 1:14and not pay attention to Jewish myths and commands of people who reject the truth.

Tit 1:15

Tit 1:15All is pure to those who are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

Tit 1:16

Tit 1:16They profess to know God but with their deeds they deny him, since they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
