2In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.5For 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:15Unto 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.9Holding 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.6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 5Not 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;10A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;9But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.2To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.3For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.1Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
