If you want to accept God's
offer in his Son, say a prayer like this:
Jesus, I confess that you are not only the
most important person in history, but you are the Creator and Savior of the
world. Lord Jesus, I need you. I have done wrong. Please forgive me of my sins
and come into my life. I ask you not just to be part of my life, but to guide me
to live according to the words I read in the Bible. Thank you for your mercy and
forgiveness. I am now committed to be your follower.
Amen.

The Book of Titus
Chapter 1
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;
001:002 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot
lie, promised
before the world
began;
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;
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.
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:
001:006 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife,
having faithful
children not
accused of riot or unruly.
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;
001:008 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men,
sober, just,
holy, temperate;
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.
001:010 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and
deceivers,
specially they of the
circumcision:
001:011 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole
houses,
teaching things which they
ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
001:012 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own,
said, The
Cretians are alway
liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
001:013 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them
sharply, that they
may be sound in
the faith;
001:014 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and
commandments of men,
that turn
from the truth.
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.
001:016 They profess that they know God; but in works
they deny him,
being abominable,
and disobedient, and unto every good
work
reprobate.
002:001 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
002:002 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate,
sound in faith,
in charity, in
patience.
002:003 The aged women likewise, that they be in
behaviour as becometh
holiness,
not false accusers, not given to much wine,
teachers
of good things;
002:004 That they may teach the young women to be sober,
to love their
husbands, to love
their children,
002:005 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good,
obedient to
their own husbands,
that the word of God be not blasphemed.
002:006 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
002:007 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good
works: in
doctrine shewing
uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
002:008 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he
that is of the
contrary part may
be ashamed, having no evil thing to say
of
you.
002:009 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own
masters, and to
please them well
in all things; not answering again;
002:010 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity;
that they may
adorn the doctrine
of God our Saviour in all things.
002:011 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation
hath appeared to
all men,
002:012 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we
should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this
present
world;
002:013 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of
the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ;
002:014 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us
from all
iniquity, and purify unto
himself a peculiar people, zealous
of good works.
002:015 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with
all authority.
Let no man despise
thee.
003:001 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities
and powers,
to obey magistrates,
to be ready to every good work,
003:002 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but
gentle,
shewing all meekness unto
all men.
003:003 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,
disobedient,
deceived, serving
divers lusts and pleasures, living in
malice
and envy, hateful, and
hating one another.
003:004 But after that the kindness and love of God our
Saviour toward
man appeared,
003:005 Not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but
according to his mercy
he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
003:006 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus
Christ our
Saviour;
003:007 That being justified by his grace, we should be
made heirs
according to the hope
of eternal life.
003:008 This is a faithful saying, and these things I
will that thou
affirm constantly,
that they which have believed in God
might
be careful to maintain good
works. These things are good and
profitable unto men.
003:009 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies,
and contentions,
and strivings
about the law; for they are unprofitable
and
vain.
003:010 A man that is an heretick after the first and
second
admonition reject;
003:011 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and
sinneth, being
condemned of
himself.
003:012 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or
Tychicus, be diligent
to come unto
me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there
to
winter.
003:013 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their
journey
diligently, that nothing
be wanting unto them.
003:014 And let our's also learn to maintain good works
for necessary
uses, that they be
not unfruitful.
003:015 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them
that love us in
the faith. Grace
be with you all. Amen.
