Titus Chapter 1
Titus 1:1 (AMP)
1 Paul, a bond servant of God and an apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) to stimulate and promote the faith of God’s chosen ones and to lead them on to accurate discernment and recognition of and acquaintance with the Truth which belongs to and harmonizes with and tends to godliness,
Titus 1:2 (NKJV)
2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,
Titus 1:3 (AMP)
3 And [now] in His own appointed time He has made manifest (made known) His Word and revealed it as His message through the preaching entrusted to me by command of God our Savior;
Titus 1:4 (NKJV)
4 To Titus, a true son in our common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Titus 1:5 (NASB)
5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you,
Titus 1:6 (CJB)
6 A leader must be blameless, husband to one wife, with believing children who do not have a reputation for being wild or rebellious.
Titus 1:7 (NKJV)
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,
Titus 1:8 (NIV)
8 Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
Titus 1:9 (NIV)
9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
Titus 1:10 (NIV)
10 For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group.
Titus 1:11 (NIV)
11 They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach–and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
Titus 1:12 (NIV)
12 Even one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”
Titus 1:13 (NASB)
13 This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith,
Titus 1:14 (NASB)
14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Titus 1:15 (NASB)
15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Titus 1:16 (NASB)
16 They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.
Titus Chapter 2
Titus 2:1 (NASB)
1 But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.
Titus 2:2 (NIV)
2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
Titus 2:3 (NIV)
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
Titus 2:4 (AMP)
4 So that they will wisely train the young women to be sane and sober of mind (temperate, disciplined) and to love their husbands and their children,
Titus 2:5 (AMP)
5 To be self-controlled, chaste, homemakers, good-natured (kindhearted), adapting and subordinating themselves to their husbands, that the word of God may not be exposed to reproach (blasphemed or discredited).
Titus 2:6 (NIV)
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
Titus 2:7 (AMP)
7 And show your own self in all respects to be a pattern and a model of good deeds and works, teaching what is unadulterated, showing gravity [having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive], with dignity and seriousness.
Titus 2:8 (NKJV)
8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
Titus 2:9 (CJB)-M
9 Tell [employees] to submit to their [employers] in everything, to give their boss satisfaction by doing an excellent job without resisting his will.
Titus 2:10 (NIV)
10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
Titus 2:11 (NIV)
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
Titus 2:12 (NASB)
12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
Titus 2:13 (NIV)
13 while we wait for the blessed hope–the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Titus 2:14 (NASB)
14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
Titus 2:15 (NIV)
15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
Titus Chapter 3
Titus 3:1 (NASB)
1 Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,
Titus 3:2 (NIV)
2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.
Titus 3:3 (NIV)
3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
Titus 3:4 (NIV)
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
Titus 3:5 (NASB)
5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:6 (NIV)
6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Titus 3:7 (NASB)
7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:8 (NIV)
8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
Titus 3:9 (NASB)
9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.
Titus 3:10 (NIV)
10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him.
Titus 3:11 (NKJV)
11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
Titus 3:12 (NIV)
12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.
Titus 3:13 (CJB)
13 Do your best to help Zenas the Torah expert and Apollos with their arrangements for travelling, so that they will lack nothing.
Titus 3:14 (AMP)
14 And let our own [people really] learn to apply themselves to good deeds (to honest labor and honorable employment), so that they may be able to meet necessary demands whenever the occasion may require and not be living idle and uncultivated and unfruitful lives.
Titus 3:15 (NIV)
15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
