The Epistle of Paul to Titus, Chapter 1.

00:05.610 --> 00:10.530
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of
Jesus Christ, according to the faith of

00:10.530 --> 00:14.310
God's elect, and the acknowledging of the
truth which is after godliness,

00:15.110 --> 00:20.390
in hope of eternal life, which God,
that cannot lie, promised before the world

00:20.390 --> 00:25.970
began, but hath in due times manifested
his word through preaching, which is

00:25.970 --> 00:29.710
committed unto me, according to the
commandment of God our Saviour,

00:30.630 --> 00:37.530
to Titus, mine own son, after the common
faith, grace, mercy, and peace from God

00:37.530 --> 00:40.510
the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our
Saviour.

00:41.610 --> 00:46.570
For this cause left I thee in Crete,
that thou shouldest set in order the

00:46.570 --> 00:51.350
things that are wanting, and ordain elders
in every city, as I had appointed thee.

00:51.970 --> 00:56.430
If any be blameless, the husband of one
wife, having faithful children,

00:56.690 --> 00:58.850
not accused of riot or unruling.

00:59.510 --> 01:04.250
For a bishop must be blameless,
as the steward of God, not self-willed,

01:04.670 --> 01:10.130
not soon angry, not given to wine nor
striker, not given to filthy lucre,

01:10.550 --> 01:16.850
but a lover of hospitality, a lover of
good men, sober, just, holy, temperate,

01:17.450 --> 01:22.450
holding fast the faithful word as he hath
been taught, that he may be able by sound

01:22.450 --> 01:26.290
doctrine both to exhort and to convince
the gainsayers.

01:27.510 --> 01:32.250
For there are many unruly and vain talkers
and deceivers, specially they of the

01:32.250 --> 01:38.450
circumcision, whose mouths must be
stopped, who subvert whole houses,

01:38.850 --> 01:42.410
teaching things which they ought not,
for filthy lucre's sake.

01:43.490 --> 01:49.610
One of themselves, even a prophet of their
own, said, The Christians are always

01:49.610 --> 01:52.930
liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

01:53.770 --> 01:54.990
This witness is true.

01:55.750 --> 01:59.770
Wherefore rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in the faith,

02:00.290 --> 02:05.410
not giving heed to Jewish fables and
commandments of men that turn from the

02:05.410 --> 02:05.770
truth.

02:06.910 --> 02:12.270
Unto the pure all things are pure,
but unto them that are defiled and

02:12.270 --> 02:14.310
unbelieving is nothing pure.

02:14.310 --> 02:17.990
But even their mind and conscience is
defiled.

02:18.550 --> 02:23.150
They profess that they know God,
but in works they deny him, being

02:23.150 --> 02:27.650
abominable and disobedient, and unto every
good work reprobate.
