which is after godliness upon the hope of eternal life; which life God, that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began:

but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I - by injunction of our Saviour God:

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.

One of themselves, a prophet of their own, hath said, The Cretans are always liars, evil wild-beasts, lazy gluttons.

For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,

For we ourselves also were in times past, unwise, disobedient, deceived, in danger to lusts, and to divers manners of voluptuousness, living in maliciousness and envy, full of hate, hating one another.

which He hath plentifully shed upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:

having known that he hath been subverted who is such, and doth sin, being self-condemned.
