Excerpt
Book 56. Titus 56:001:001. Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God?s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 56:001:002 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 56:001:003 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 56:001:004 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. 56:001:005 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 56:001:006 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 56:001:007 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 56:001:008 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 56:001:009 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 56:001:010 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 56:001:011 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre?s sake. 56:001:012 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 56:001:013 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 56:001:014 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 56:001:015 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
