The Letter of Paul the Apostle to Titus - in the Tyndale21 Version of the Holy Bible (© Copyright 2011 Abbott ePublishing. All Rights Reserved.)

1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ to preach the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of that truth which is after Godliness.
1:2 On the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, has promised before the world began,
1:3 But has opened his word at the appointed time through preaching, is committed to me by the commandment of God our savior.
1:4 To Titus, my natural son in the common faith, Grace, mercy and peace from god the  Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.
1:5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would perform that which was lacking and would ordain Elders in every city as I appointed you,
1:6 If any are faultless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children who are not accused of riotousness nor are disobedient.
1:7 Because a bishop must be faultless, as it is worthy of a minister of God; not stubborn, not angry, not a drunkard, nor a fighter, nor guilty of ill-gotten wealth. 
1:8 But hospitable, one who loves goodness, is sober-minded, righteous, holy, and temperate,
1:9 And one who holds onto the true word of doctrine so he may be able to preach with wholesome learning and to improve those who speak against it.
1:10 Because there are many who are disobedient and speakers of vanity and deceivers of minds, namely those in the party of the circumcision,
1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who pervert whole houses, teaching things that they should not, because of filthy money.
1:12 One from among yourselves who was a poet of your nation said, The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy gluttons.
1:13 This witness is true. So scold them angrily, so that they may be sound in faith,
1:14 And not considering of Jewish fables, and the commandments of men, that turn from the truth, 
1:15 To the pure all things are pure: but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their very minds and consciences are defiled.
1:16 They confess that they know God, but with their deeds, they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and are unqualified for any good works.
2:1 But preach the things which are worthy of wholesome learning,
2:2 So that the older men are sober, honest, discrete, sound in the faith, in love and in patience,
2:3 And speak to the older women in the same way, so they are in such clothing as is worthy of holiness, not false accusers, not given to much drinking, but teachers of honest things,
2:4 To teach the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, to love their children,
2:5 To be discreet, chaste, house-keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, so the word of God is not spoke of evilly.
2:6 In the same way, encourage young men to be sober-minded.
2:7 Above all things, show yourself an example of good works, with uncorrupt doctrine, with honesty and with wholesome (2:8) words
That cannot be condemned, so he who stands against you may be ashamed, having nothing in you that he may disparage.
2:9 Encourage servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to please in all things; not answering back,
2:10 Nor be thieves, but showing all good faithfulness so they may worship the doctrine of God our savior in all things.
2:11 Because the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
2:12 And teaching us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and that we should live sober-minded, righteously and Godly in this present world,
2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the mighty God and of our Savior Jesus Christ,
2:14 Who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness and to purify for himself a peculiar people, fervently given over to good works.
2:15 Speak and preach these things and correct with all authority. See that no man despise you.
3:1 Warn them to submit themselves to rulers and powers, to obey the officers, so that they are ready to do all good works,
3:2 That they speak evil about no man, that they not be fighters, but gentle and soft, showing all meekness to all men.
3:3 Because we, ourselves, were also in times past unwise, disobedient, deceived in danger by lusts and to diverse kinds of voluptuousness, living in maliciousness and envy, full of hate, and hating one another.
3:4 But after that, the kindness and love of God our savior shown toward man appeared,
3:5 Not by the deeds of righteousness that we did, but by his mercy, he saved us by the fountain of his new birth and by the renewal of the Holy Spirit.
3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
3:7 That, once justified by his grace, we would be made heirs of the hope of eternal life.
3:8 This is a true saying. Of these things, I want you to certify that those who believe God might be diligent to go on doing good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
3:9 Avoid foolish questions and genealogies and brawling and strife about the Law, because they are unprofitable and superfluous.
3:10 Reject the man who is going towards heresy after the first and second admonition. 
3:11 Remembering that he who is such is perverted and sins, and is even damned by his own judgment.
3:12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, be diligent to come to me to Niceoolis, because I have decided to spend winter there.
3:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, so that they lack nothing.
3:14 And let our own people also learn to excel in good works as much as is required, so they will not be unproductive.
3:15 All who are with me salute you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
