Therefore sternly denounce them, + that they may be robust in their faith, +001:014 and not give attention to Jewish legends and the maxims of men + who turn their backs on the truth. +001:015 To the pure everything is pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving + nothing is pure, but on the contrary their very minds and + consciences are polluted. +001:016 They profess to know God; but in their actions they disown Him, + and are detestable and disobedient men, and for any good work + are utterly useless. +002:001 But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits + wholesome teaching. +002:002 Exhort aged men to be temperate, grave, sober-minded, robust in + their faith, their love and their patience. +002:003 In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such + as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers + nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of + what is right. +002:004 They should school the young women to be affectionate to + their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, + pure in their lives, +002:005 industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, + so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach. +002:006 In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet, +002:007 and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, + having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, + but a serious tone, +002:008 and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents + may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us. +002:009 Exhort slaves to be always obedient to their owners, + and to give them satisfaction in everything, not contradicting + and not pilfering, +002:010 but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring + honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things. +002:011 For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power + to all mankind, +002:012 training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures + of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives + at the present time, +002:013 in expectation of the fulfilment of our blessed hope-- + the Appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; +002:014 who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, + and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, + zealous for doing good works. +002:015 Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. + Let no one make light of your authority. +003:001 Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are + in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, + be prepared for every right action, +003:002 not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield + unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving + spirit towards all men. +003:003 For there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, + obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, + spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves + and hating one another. +003:004 But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, + dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we, +003:005 as righteous men, had done, but as the result of His own mercy He + saved us by means of the bath of regeneration and the renewal + of our natures by the Holy Spirit, +003:006 which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; +003:007 in order that having been declared righteous through His grace + we might become heirs to the Life of the Ages in fulfilment + of our hopes. +003:008 This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would + have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have + their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example + of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, + but are also useful to mankind. +003:009 But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees + and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are + useless and vain. +003:010 After a first and second admonition, have nothing further + to do with any one who will not be taught; +003:011 for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside + from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned. +003:012 After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time + in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass + the winter there. +003:013 Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, + and Apollos, so that they may have all they require. +003:014 And let our people too learn to set a good example in following + honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, + so that they may not live useless lives. +003:015 Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold + us dear. May grace be with you all. + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Titus *** + +This file should be named wnt1710.txt or wnt1710.zip +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks get a new NUMBER, wnt1711.txt +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, wnt1710a.txt + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
