Put them
in mind
to be subject
to principalities
and
powers
, to obey magistrates
, to be
ready
to
every
good
work
,
To speak evil of no man
, to be
no brawlers
, but gentle
, shewing
all
meekness
unto
all
men
.
For we ourselves
also
were
sometimes
foolish
, disobedient
, deceived
, serving
divers
lusts
and
pleasures
, living
in
malice
and
envy
, hateful
, and hating
one another
.
But after
that the kindness
and
love
of God
our
Saviour
toward man
appeared
,
Not by
works
of
righteousness
which
we
have done
, but
according to
his
mercy
he saved
us
, by
the washing
of regeneration
, and
renewing
of the Holy
Ghost
;
Which he shed
on
us
abundantly
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Saviour
;
That being justified by
his
grace
, we should be made
heirs
according to
the hope
of eternal
life
.
This is a faithful saying
, and
these things
I will
that thou
affirm constantly
, that
they which have believed
in God
might be careful
to maintain
good
works
. These things
are
good
and
profitable
unto men
.
But avoid
foolish
questions
, and
genealogies
, and
contentions
, and
strivings about
the law
; for
they are
unprofitable
and
vain
.
A man that is an heretick
after
the first
and
second
admonition
reject
;
Knowing that
he that is such
is subverted
, and
sinneth
, being
condemned of himself
.
When I shall send
Artemas
unto
thee
, or
Tychicus
, be diligent
to come
unto
me
to
Nicopolis
: for
I have determined
there
to winter
.
Bring Zenas
the lawyer
and
Apollos
on their journey
diligently
, that
nothing
be wanting
unto them
.
And let
ours
also
learn
to maintain
good
works
for
necessary
uses
, that
they be
not
unfruitful
.
All that are with
me
salute
thee
. Greet
them that love
us
in
the faith
. Grace
be with
you
all
. Amen

Titus
, ordained

bishop
of the church
of the Cretians

Nicopolis
of Macedonia
