1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)Titus 11 For what end Titus was left in Crete. 6 How they that are to be chosen ministers ought to be qualified. 11 The mouths of evil teachers to be stopped: 12 and what manner of men they be. 1:1 ¶ Paul, bondman of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ according to [the] faith of God's elect, and knowledge of [the] truth which [is] according to piety; 1:2 in [the] hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time, 1:3 but has manifested in its own due season his word, in [the] proclamation with which *I* have been entrusted, according to [the] commandment of our Saviour God; 1:4 to Titus, my own child according to [the] faith common [to us]: Grace and peace from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Saviour. 1:5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest go on to set right what remained [unordered], and establish elders in each city, as *I* had ordered thee: 1:6 if any one be free from all charge [against him], husband of one wife, having believing children not accused of excess or unruly. 1:7 For the overseer must be free from all charge [against him] as God's steward; not headstrong, not passionate, not disorderly through wine, not a striker, not seeking gain by base means; 1:8 but hospitable, a lover of goodness, discreet, just, pious, temperate, 1:9 clinging to the faithful word according to the doctrine taught, that he may be able both to encourage with sound teaching and refute gainsayers. 1:10 For there are many and disorderly vain speakers and deceivers of people's minds, specially those of [the] circumcision, 1:11 who must have their mouths stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which ought not [to be taught] for the sake of base gain. 1:12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons. 1:13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith, 1:14 not turning [their] minds to Jewish fables and commandments of men turning away from the truth. 1:15 All things [are] pure to the pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing [is] pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 1:16 They profess to know God, but in works deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and found worthless as to every good work. |
