times
His word ,)
in preaching,
which
I
was

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;
The
reason
I left
you
in Crete was
that you
would
set in order
what
was
unfinished
and
appoint
elders in
every
town
, as I directed
you.
if
any
one
is
blameless, of one wife a
husband
, having children stedfast,
not under
accusation of riotous
living
or insubordinate
--
An
elder
must
be
blameless, the
husband
of but
one wife, having children who
are
believers
and
who
are
not open
to
accusation of indiscretion
or insubordination.
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;
As God’s
steward, an
overseer
must
be
above
reproach—
not self- absorbed
, not
quick-tempered
, not given to drunkenness
, not violent
, not greedy
for
money.
but
a
lover
of
strangers
, a lover of good men
, sober-minded,
righteous,
kind,
self-controlled,
Instead
, he
must
be
hospitable,
a lover of good, self-controlled, upright,
holy,
and
disciplined.
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;
He
must
hold
firmly
to the faithful
word as
it
was
taught
, so
that he can
encourage
others
by
sound teaching and refute
those
who
contradict
it.
for there
are
many both
insubordinate,
vain-talkers,
and mind-deceivers
--
especially they
of the circumcision --
For many are
rebellious
and full
of
empty
talk
and
deception,
especially those
of the circumcision ,
whose
mouth
it
behoveth
to
stop,
who whole
households
do
overturn
, teaching
what
things it
behoveth
not ,
for
filthy
lucre's
sake
.
who must
be
silenced.
For
the
sake
of
dishonorable
gain
, they
undermine
entire
households

A
certain
one of them,
a
prophet
of
their own ,
said --
`
Cretans !
always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!'
As
one of their own prophets
has
said ,
“
Cretans are
always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
this testimony is true ;
for
which
cause
convict
them sharply
, that they may
be sound in the faith ,
This testimony is true .
Therefore
rebuke
them sternly
, so
that they will
be sound in the faith
not
giving
heed
to Jewish fables
and
commands of men ,
turning
themselves
away
from
the truth ;
and
will
pay
no
attention
to Jewish myths
or
to
the
commands of men who
have
rejected
the truth .
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;
To the pure, all
things
are
pure;
but
to the defiled and unbelieving,
nothing is
pure .
Indeed
, both
their
minds
and their
consciences
are
defiled.
God
they profess to know, and
in
the
works
they deny `
Him ',
being
abominable
, and
disobedient, and unto
every
good work
disapproved
.
They profess to know God
, but
by
their
actions
they deny Him .
They
are
detestable
, disobedient, and unfit
for
any
good deed
.
