=====Titus / Titus 1 ===== ^ [[bijbels:kjv:|Terug naar Bijbel index]] ^ [[bijbels:kjv:tekst:titus|Terug naar Boek index]] ^ [[commentaar:titus1-1|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; \\ [[commentaar:titus1-2|2]] In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; \\ [[commentaar:titus1-3|3]] But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; \\ [[commentaar:titus1-4|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. \\ [[commentaar:titus1-5|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: \\ [[commentaar:titus1-6|6]] If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. \\ [[commentaar:titus1-7|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; \\ [[commentaar:titus1-8|8]] But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; \\ [[commentaar:titus1-9|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. \\ [[commentaar:titus1-10|10]] For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: \\ [[commentaar:titus1-11|11]] Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. \\ [[commentaar:titus1-12|12]] One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. \\ [[commentaar:titus1-13|13]] This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; \\ [[commentaar:titus1-14|14]] Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. \\ [[commentaar:titus1-15|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. \\ [[commentaar:titus1-16|16]] They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. ^ [[titus2|volgend hoofdstuk]] ^
