Paul ³⁹⁷² , a servant ¹⁴⁰¹ of God ²³¹⁶ , and ¹¹⁶¹ an apostle ⁶⁵² of Jesus ²⁴²⁴ Christ ⁵⁵⁴⁷ , according to ²⁵⁹⁶ the faith ⁴¹⁰² of God's ²³¹⁶ elect ¹⁵⁸⁸ , and ²⁵³² the acknowledging ¹⁹²² of the truth ²²⁵ which ³⁵⁸⁸ is after ²⁵⁹⁶ godliness ²¹⁵⁰ ;

In ¹⁹⁰⁹ hope ¹⁶⁸⁰ of eternal ¹⁶⁶ life ²²²² , which ³⁷³⁹ God ²³¹⁶ , that cannot lie ⁸⁹³ , promised ^{1861 , 5662} before ⁴²⁵³ the world ¹⁶⁶ began ⁵⁵⁵⁰ ; [In: or, For]

But ¹¹⁶¹ hath ^{5319 , 0} in due ²³⁹⁸ times ²⁵⁴⁰ manifested ^{5319 , 5656} his ⁸⁴⁶ word ³⁰⁵⁶ through ¹⁷²² preaching ²⁷⁸² , which ³⁷³⁹ is committed ^{4100 , 5681} unto me ¹⁴⁷³ according to ²⁵⁹⁶ the commandment ²⁰⁰³ of God ²³¹⁶ our ²²⁵⁷ Saviour ⁴⁹⁹⁰ ;

To Titus ⁵¹⁰³ , mine own ¹¹⁰³ son ⁵⁰⁴³ after ²⁵⁹⁶ the common ²⁸³⁹ faith ⁴¹⁰² : Grace ⁵⁴⁸⁵ , mercy ¹⁶⁵⁶ , and peace ¹⁵¹⁵ , from ⁵⁷⁵ God ²³¹⁶ the Father ³⁹⁶² and ²⁵³² the Lord ²⁹⁶² Jesus ²⁴²⁴ Christ ⁵⁵⁴⁷ our ²²⁵⁷ Saviour ⁴⁹⁹⁰ .

For this ⁵¹²⁷ cause ⁵⁴⁸⁴ left I ^{2641 , 5627} thee ⁴⁵⁷¹ in ¹⁷²² Crete ²⁹¹⁴ , that ²⁴⁴³ thou shouldest set in order ^{1930 , 5672} the things that are wanting ^{3007 , 5723} , and ²⁵³² ordain ^{2525 , 5661} elders ⁴²⁴⁵ in every ²⁵⁹⁶ city ⁴¹⁷² , as ⁵⁶¹³ I ¹⁴⁷³ had appointed ^{1299 , 5668} thee ⁴⁶⁷¹ : [wanting: or, left undone]

If any ¹⁵³⁶ be ^{2076 , 5748} blameless ⁴¹⁰ , the husband ⁴³⁵ of one ³³⁹¹ wife ¹¹³⁵ , having ^{2192 , 5723} faithful ⁴¹⁰³ children ⁵⁰⁴³ not ³³⁶¹ accused ^{1722 , 2724} of riot ⁸¹⁰ or ²²²⁸ unruly ⁵⁰⁶ .

For ¹⁰⁶³ a bishop ¹⁹⁸⁵ must ^{1163 , 5748} be ^{1511 , 5750} blameless ⁴¹⁰ , as ⁵⁶¹³ the steward ³⁶²³ of God ²³¹⁶ ; not ³³⁶¹ selfwilled ⁸²⁹ , not ³³⁶¹ soon angry ³⁷¹¹ , not ³³⁶¹ given to wine ³⁹⁴³ , no ³³⁶¹ striker ⁴¹³¹ , not ³³⁶¹ given to filthy lucre ¹⁴⁶ ;

But ²³⁵ a lover of hospitality ⁵³⁸² , a lover of good men ⁵³⁵⁸ , sober ⁴⁹⁹⁸ , just ¹³⁴² , holy ³⁷⁴¹ , temperate ¹⁴⁶⁸ ; [men: or, things]

Holding fast ^{472 , 5740} the faithful ⁴¹⁰³ word ³⁰⁵⁶ as ²⁵⁹⁶ he hath been taught ¹³²² , that ²⁴⁴³ he may be ^{5600 , 5753} able ¹⁴¹⁵ by ¹⁷²² sound ^{5198 , 5723} doctrine ¹³¹⁹ both ²⁵³² to exhort ^{3870 , 5721} and ²⁵³² to convince ^{1651 , 5721} the gainsayers ^{483 , 5723} . [as...: or, in teaching]

For ¹⁰⁶³ there are ^{1526 , 5748} many ⁴¹⁸³ unruly ⁵⁰⁶ and ²⁵³² vain talkers ³¹⁵¹ and ²⁵³² deceivers ⁵⁴²³ , specially ³¹²² they of ¹⁵³⁷ the circumcision ⁴⁰⁶¹ :

Whose ³⁷³⁹ mouths ^{1993 , 0} must ^{1163 , 5748} be stopped ^{1993 , 5721} , who ³⁷⁴⁸ subvert ^{396 , 5719} whole ³⁶⁵⁰ houses ³⁶²⁴ , teaching ^{1321 , 5723} things which ³⁷³⁹ they ought ^{1163 , 5748} not ³³⁶¹ , for ^{5484 , 0} filthy ¹⁵⁰ lucre's ²⁷⁷¹ sake ⁵⁴⁸⁴ .

One ⁵¹⁰⁰ of ¹⁵³⁷ themselves ⁸⁴⁶ , even a prophet ⁴³⁹⁶ of their ⁸⁴⁶ own ²³⁹⁸ , said ^{2036 , 5627} , The Cretians ²⁹¹² are alway ¹⁰⁴ liars ⁵⁵⁸³ , evil ²⁵⁵⁶ beasts ²³⁴² , slow ⁶⁹² bellies ¹⁰⁶⁴ .

This ³⁷⁷⁸ witness ³¹⁴¹ is ^{2076 , 5748} true ²²⁷ . Wherefore ^{1223 , 3739 , 156} rebuke ^{1651 , 5720} them ⁸⁴⁶ sharply ⁶⁶⁴ , that ²⁴⁴³ they may be sound ^{5198 , 5725} in ¹⁷²² the faith ⁴¹⁰² ;

Not ³³⁶¹ giving heed ^{4337 , 5723} to Jewish ²⁴⁵¹ fables ³⁴⁵⁴ , and ²⁵³² commandments ¹⁷⁸⁵ of men ⁴⁴⁴ , that turn from ^{654 , 5734} the truth ²²⁵ .

Unto the pure ²⁵¹³ all things ³⁹⁵⁶ are pure ^{3303 , 2513} : but ¹¹⁶¹ unto them that are defiled ^{3392 , 5772} and ²⁵³² unbelieving ⁵⁷¹ is nothing ³⁷⁶² pure ²⁵¹³ ; but ²³⁵ even ²⁵³² their ⁸⁴⁶ mind ³⁵⁶³ and ²⁵³² conscience ⁴⁸⁹³ is defiled ^{3392 , 5769} .

They profess ^{3670 , 5719} that they know ^{1492 , 5760} God ²³¹⁶ ; but ¹¹⁶¹ in works ²⁰⁴¹ they deny ^{720 , 5736} him , being ^{5607 , 5752} abominable ⁹⁴⁷ , and ²⁵³² disobedient ⁵⁴⁵ , and ²⁵³² unto ⁴³¹⁴ every ³⁹⁵⁶ good ¹⁸ work ²⁰⁴¹ reprobate ⁹⁶ . [reprobate: or, void of judgment]
