Titus	Послання до Тита святого апостола Павла

Chapter 1	Глава 1

1
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2
in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal;
3
but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
4
to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5
For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;
6
if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.
7
For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
8
but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;
9
holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.
10
For there are many, and they are unruly, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision,
11
whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
12
One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.
13
This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14
not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
15
To the pure all things are indeed pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16
They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Chapter 2

1
But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
2
that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
3
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4
that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5
to be sober-minded, chaste, keepers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
6
the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
7
in all things showing thyself an example of good works; in thy doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, incorruptibility,
8
sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.
9
Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing to them in all things; not gainsaying;
10
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11
For the saving grace of God hath appeared to all men,
12
instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;
13
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ;
14
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
15
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Chapter 3

1
Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work,
2
to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.
3
For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4
But when the kindness of God our Savior, and his love toward man, appeared,
5
not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6
which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7
that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8
Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:
9
but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10
A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse;
11
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
12
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.
13
Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14
And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15
All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
