Paul’s Greeting to Titus
(2 Corinthians 8:16–24)

1PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of truth which leads to godliness; 2in hope of life eternal, which God, who cannot lie, hath promised before time had a being; 3but hath manifested in his own appointed season his word by the preaching, with which I have been entrusted, according to the command of our Saviour God;

4to Titus, my genuine son after the common faith, be grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Appointing Elders on Crete
(1 Timothy 3:1–7; 1 Peter 5:1–4)

5For this purpose I left thee behind me at Crete, that thou mightest direct the regulations which remained to be executed, and that thou shouldest appoint presbyters in every city, as I charged thee to do: 6if there be a man blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not under an accusation or debauchery, or disorderly conduct. 7For a bishop ought to be irreproachable, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not irritable, not addicted to wine, not quarrelsome, not greedy of filthy lucre; 8but the stranger?s host, the good man?s friend, grave, just, holy, temperate; 9firmly attached to the faithful word, according to the doctrine delivered, that he may be able to exhort with sound instruction and to confute the opposers.

Correcting False Teachers
(1 Timothy 1:3–11)

10For there are many disorderly persons vainly talkative, and under a spirit of delusion, especially some of the circumcised; 11whose mouths ought to be muzzled, who pervert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain. 12One of them, a poet of their own nation, hath said, The Cretans are always liars, wicked beasts, slothful gluttons. 13This testimony is true. For which cause rebuke them with severity, that they may be sound in the faith; 14not attending to Jewish fables, and injunctions of men, who have turned away from the truth. 15All things indeed are clean to the clean: but to the defiled and to the unbelievers there is nothing clean; but their very mind and conscience are defiled. 16They profess to know God; but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
