Titus - douay rheims

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:
² Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world:
³ But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior:
⁴ To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Savior.
⁵ For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
⁶ If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
⁷ For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
⁸ But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
⁹ Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
¹⁰ For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
¹¹ Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
¹² One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
¹³ This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
¹⁴ Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
¹⁵ All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
¹⁶ They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.

Chapter 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 according to godliness;
² In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began;
³ But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
⁴ To Titus, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
⁵ For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
⁶ If any is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or disorderly.
⁷ For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
⁸ But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
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.
¹⁰ For there are many disorderly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
¹¹ Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.
¹² One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
¹³ This testimony is true: wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
¹⁴ Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn from the truth.
¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
¹⁶ They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.

Chapter 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;
² in [the] hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time,
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;
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.
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:
⁶ if any one be free from all charge [against him], husband of one wife, having believing children not accused of excess or unruly.
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;
⁸ but hospitable, a lover of goodness, discreet, just, pious, temperate,
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.
¹⁰ For there are many and disorderly vain speakers and deceivers of people's minds, specially those of [the] circumcision,
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.
¹² One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.
¹³ This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
¹⁴ not turning [their] minds to Jewish fables and commandments of men turning away from the truth.
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.
¹⁶ They profess to know God, but in works deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and found worthless as to every good work.

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,
² In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true;
³ Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;
⁴ To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
⁵ I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;
⁶ Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.
⁷ For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself;
⁸ But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;
⁹ Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters.
¹⁰ For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,
¹¹ By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped.
¹² One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work.
¹³ This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith,
¹⁴ Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.
¹⁵ To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought.
¹⁶ They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.
