II. Set Things in Order........................... 2:1-3:15
Tit 2:1
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:Tit 2:2
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.Tit 2:3
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;Tit 2:4
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,Tit 2:5
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.Tit 2:6
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.Tit 2:7
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,Tit 2:8
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.Tit 2:9
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;Tit 2:10
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 lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;Tit 2:13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing 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 unto 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 to every good work,Tit 3:2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.Tit 3:3
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.Tit 3:4
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,Tit 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;Tit 3:6
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;Tit 3:7
That being justified by his grace, we should 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, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto 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
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;Tit 3:11
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.Tit 3:12
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.Tit 3:13
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.Tit 3:14
And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.Tit 3:15
All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. <It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.>
