Titus 1 (WEBP)

[1] Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
[2] in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;
[3] but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
[4] to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
[5] I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
[6] if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
[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;
[8] but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
[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.
[10] For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
[11] whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
[12] One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
[13] This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
[14] not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
[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.
[16] They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

Titus 1:1 “Christ” means “Anointed One”.

Titus 1 (KJVS)

[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 ;
[2] In hope of eternal life , which God , that cannot lie , promised () before the world began ;
[3] But hath in due times manifested () his word through preaching , which is committed () unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour ;
[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 .
[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 :
[6] If any be () blameless , the husband of one wife , having () faithful children not accused of riot or unruly .
[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 ;
[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 unruly 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 filthy lucre’s sake .
[12] One of themselves , [even] a prophet of their own , said (), The Cretians [are] alway liars , evil beasts , slow bellies .

[14] Not giving heed () to Jewish fables , and commandments of men , that turn from () the truth .
[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 ().
[16] They profess () that they know () God ; but in works they deny () [him], being () abominable , and disobedient , and unto every good work reprobate .

Young’s Literal Translation

Titus 1 (YLT)

[1] Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that is according to piety,
[2] upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages,
[3] (and He manifested in proper times His word,) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour,
[4] to Titus-true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!
[5] For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee;
[6] if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate-
[7] for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre;
[8] but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, self-controlled,
[9] holding-according to the teaching-to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict;
[10] for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers-especially they of the circumcision-
[11] whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
[12] A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said-‘Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!’
[13] this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
[14] not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;
[15] all things, indeed, are pure to the pure, and to the defiled and unstedfast is nothing pure, but of them defiled are even the mind and the conscience;
[16] God they profess to know, and in the works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.
