Sha'ul�s Letter to Titus, Chapter 1
{1:1} Sha'ul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Yeshua the
Messiah, according to the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of
the truth which is according to godliness, {1:2} in hope of eternal
life, which God, who can't lie, promised before eternal times; {1:3}
but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was
entrusted according to the [1>]mitzvah[<1] of God, our Savior; {1:4}
to Titus, my true child according to a common faith:
Grace, mercy, and shalom from God, the Father, and the Lord, Yeshua
the Messiah, our Savior.
{1:5} I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in
order the things that were lacking, and appoint Zakenim in every city,
as I directed you; {1:6} if anyone is blameless, the husband of one
wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or
unruly behavior. {1:7} For the overseer must be blameless, as God's
steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not
violent, not greedy for dishonest gain; {1:8} but given to
hospitality, as a lover of good, sober-minded, fair, holy,
self-controlled; {1:9} holding to the faithful word which is according
to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine,
and to convict those who contradict him. {1:10} For there are also
many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the
circumcision, {1:11} whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow
whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest
gain's sake. {1:12} One of them, a prophet of their own, said,
"Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons." {1:13}
This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that
they may be sound in the faith, {1:14} not paying attention to Yehudi
fables and [2>]mitzvot[<2] of men who turn away from the truth. {1:15}
To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and
unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience
are defiled. {1:16} They profess that they know God, but by their
works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any
good work.
