Therefore I left you in Crete, in order that you may set in order remaining things, and establish elders in every city, as I commanded you;

holding that which is according to the teaching of the faithful word, in order that he may be able both to exhort with healthy teaching, and to convict the opposers.

This testimony is true: on account of which cause convict them sharply, in order that they may be sound in the faith,

in order that they instruct the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

to be prudent, chaste, domestic, good, submissive to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

the sound word, irrefutable, in order that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us.

in order that, being justified by his faith, we may be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

The word is faithful, and I wish you to be established concerning these things, in order that those having believed in God may think to excel in good works. These things are beautiful and useful to the people:

Send on Zenas the lawyer and Apollos speedily, in order that nothing may be lacking to them.

And let our people indeed learn to excel in good works for necessary uses, in order that they may not be unfruitful.
