4. to Titus[G5103], my true[G1103] child[G5043] after[G2596] a common[G2839] faith[G4102]: Grace[G5485, 1656] and peace[G1515] from[G575] God[G2316] the Father[G3962] and[G2532, 2962] Christ[G5547] Jesus[G2424] our[G2257] Saviour[G4990].

6. if[G1487] any[G5100] man is[G2076] blameless[G410], the husband[G435] of one[G1520] wife[G1135], having[G2192] children[G5043] that believe[G4103], who are not[G3361] accused[G2724] of riot[G810] or[G2228] unruly[G506].
7. For[G1063] the bishop[G1985] must[G1163] be[G1511] blameless[G410], as[G5613] God[G2316]'s steward[G3623]; not[G3361] self-willed[G829], not[G3361] soon angry[G3711], no[G3361] brawler[G3943], no[G3361] striker[G4131], not[G3361] greedy of filthy lucre[G146];
8. but[G235] given to hospitality[G5382], a lover of good[G5358], sober-minded[G4998], just[G1342], holy[G3741], self-controlled[G1468];
9. holding[G472] to the faithful[G4103] word[G3056] which[G2596] is according to the teaching[G1322], that[G2443] he may be[G5600] able[G1415] to[G2532] exhort[G3870] in[G1722] the sound[G5198] doctrine[G1319], and[G2532] to convict[G1651] the gainsayers[G483].
10. For[G1063] there are[G1526] many[G4183] unruly[G506] men[G2532], vain talkers[G3151] and[G2532] deceivers[G5423], specially[G3122] they[G3588] of[G1537] the circumcision[G4061],
11. whose[G3739] mouths[G1993] must[G1163] be stopped[G1993]; men who[G3748] overthrow[G396] whole[G3650] houses[G3624], teaching[G1321] things which[G3739] they ought[G1163] not[G3361], for[G5484] filthy[G150] lucre[G2771]'s sake[G5484].
12. One[G5100] of[G1537] themselves[G846], a prophet[G4396] of their[G846] own[G2398], said[G2036], Cretans[G2912] are always[G104] liars[G5583], evil[G2556] beasts[G2342], idle[G692] gluttons[G1064].
13. This[G3778] testimony[G3141] is[G2076] true[G227]. For which cause[G1223] reprove[G1651] them[G846] sharply[G664], that[G2443] they may be sound[G5198] in[G1722] the faith[G156],
14. not[G3361] giving heed to[G4337] Jewish[G2451] fables[G3454], and[G2532] commandments[G1785] of men[G444] who turn away from[G654] the truth[G225].

16. They profess[G3670] that they know[G1492] God[G2316]; but[G1161] by their works[G2041] they deny[G720] him[G5607], being abominable[G947], and[G2532] disobedient[G545], and[G2532] unto[G4314] every[G3956] good[G18] work[G2041] reprobate[G96].
