- Kapitel 1 -

(2 Corinthians 8:16–24)
1
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:
2
Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world:
3
But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
4
To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.

Appointing Elders on Crete

(1 Timothy 3:1–7; 1 Peter 5:1–4)
5
For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
6
If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
7
For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
8
But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
9
Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.

Correcting False Teachers

(1 Timothy 1:3–11)
10
For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
11
Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
12
One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
13
This testimony 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, who turn themselves away from the truth.
15
All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16
They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
(2 Corinthians 8:16–24)
1
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ,(a) according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2
in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;
3
but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
4
to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

Appointing Elders on Crete

(1 Timothy 3:1–7; 1 Peter 5:1–4)
5
I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
6
if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7
For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8
but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
9
holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

Correcting False Teachers

(1 Timothy 1:3–11)
10
For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11
whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
12
One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
13
This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14
not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
15
To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16
They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
