1:1 | 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; |
1:2 | In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; |
1:3 | But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; |
1:4 | To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. |
1:5 | 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: |
1:6 | If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. |
1:6 | 若有無可指責的人、只作一個婦人的丈夫、兒女也是信主的、沒有人告他們是放蕩不服約束的、就可以設立。 |
1:6 | 若有无可指责的人,只作一个妇人的丈夫,儿女也是信主的,没有人告诉他们是放荡不服约束的,就可以设立。 |
1ti:3:2 | A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; |
eph:5:18 | And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; |
1pe:4:4 | Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: |

1:7 | 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; |
1:8 | But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; |
1:9 | 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. |
1:10 | For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: |
1:11 | Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. |
1:12 | One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. |
1:13 | This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; |
1:14 | Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. |
1:15 | 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. |
1:16 | They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. |
