But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

To Titus, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

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.

This testimony is true: wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

Sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.

Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.

And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
