1Greeting, Qualifications and Duties of Elders<br/>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 according to God liness, 
2in <n>(for)</n> hope of eternal life, which God , who cannot lie, promised before the world began,
3but has in due times manifested His Word through preaching which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior,
4To Titus , my own son in the common faith: Grace , mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5Qualified Elders<br/>For this cause I left you in Crete , that you should set in order the things that are wanting <n>(left undone)</n>, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed you:
6if any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot or unruly.
7For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God, not selfwilled , not quick to anger, not given to wine , not violent , not given to filthy lucre;
8but a lover of hospitality , a lover of good men <n>(things)</n>, sober , just, holy, temperate,
9holding fast the faithful Word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10The Elders' Task<br/>For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the Circumcision,
11whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not for the sake of filthy lucre.
12One among themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, "The Cretans are always liars , evil beasts, slothful gluttons."
13This witness is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth.
15Unto the pure , all things are pure; but unto those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient , and unto every good work reprobate <n>(void of judgement)</n>.
