1
Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2
The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3
Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4
But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
5
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7
And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
10
Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
12
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
13
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16
If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
17
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
18
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19
Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20
Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
21
I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
22
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
24
Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
25
Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

1
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14
That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
17
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

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

1
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
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 you.
9
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10
Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

1
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5
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;
6
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8
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.
9
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14
And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15
All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
