| 1 | Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God`s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, | 1Ch 6:49 Ro 1:1 Php 1:1 |
| 2 | in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal; | Tit 2:7 Tit 2:13 Tit 3:7 Jn 5:39 Jn 6:68 Ro 2:7 Ro 5:2 Ro 5:4 Col 1:27 1Th 5:8 2Ti 1:1 2Ti 2:10 1Pe 1:3 1Pe 1:4 1Jn 2:25 1Jn 3:2 1Jn 3:3 Jud 1:21 |
| 3 | but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour; | Dn 8:23 Dn 9:24-27 Dn 10:1 Dn 11:27 Hab 2:3 Ac 17:26 Ro 5:6 Ga 4:4 Eph 1:10 1Ti 2:6 2Ti 1:10 |
| 4 | to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. | 2Co 2:13 2Co 7:6 2Co 7:13 2Co 7:14 2Co 8:6 2Co 8:16 2Co 8:23 2Co 12:18 Ga 2:3 |
| 5 | For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge; | 1Ti 1:3 |
| 6 | if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly. | 1Ti 3:2-7 |
| 7 | For the bishop must be blameless, as God`s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; | Tit 1:5 Php 1:1 1Ti 3:1 1Ti 3:2-13 |
| 8 | but given to hospitality, as lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled; | 1Ti 3:2 |
| 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 the gainsayers. | Jb 2:3 Jb 27:6 Pr 23:23 1Th 5:21 2Th 2:15 2Ti 1:13 Jud 1:3 Rev 2:25 Rev 3:3 Rev 3:11 |
| 10 | For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision, | Ac 20:29 Ro 16:17-18 2Co 11:12-15 Eph 4:14 2Th 2:10-12 1Ti 1:4 1Ti 1:6 1Ti 6:3-5 2Ti 3:13 2Ti 4:4 Jm 1:26 2Pe 2:1 2Pe 2:2 1Jn 2:18 1Jn 4:1 Rev 2:6 Rev 2:14 |
| 11 | whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre`s sake. | Tit 1:9 Tit 3:10 Ps 63:11 Ps 107:42 Ezk 16:63 Lk 20:40 Ro 3:19 2Co 11:10 |
| 12 | One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons. | Ac 17:28 |
| 13 | This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, | Tit 2:15 Pr 27:5 2Co 13:10 1Ti 5:20 2Ti 4:2 |
| 14 | not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. | 1Ti 1:4-7 2Ti 4:4 |
| 15 | To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. | Lk 11:39-41 Ac 10:15 Ro 14:14 Ro 14:20 1Co 6:12 1Co 6:13 1Co 10:23 1Co 10:25 1Co 10:31 1Ti 4:3 1Ti 4:4 |
| 16 | They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. | Nm 24:16 Isa 29:13 Isa 48:1 Isa 58:2 Ezk 33:31 Hos 8:2 Hos 8:3 Ro 2:18-24 2Ti 3:5-8 Jud 1:4 |
