1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,2in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.3In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.4To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.5The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.6An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.7As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.8Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.9He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.15To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.16They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
