1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety, 2 on hope of continuous life, which God, who does not lie, promised before times of ages 3 (and He revealed His word in [His] own times), in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Savior, 4 to Titus—true child according to a common faith: Grace, [[kindness,]] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior! 5 For this cause I left you in Crete, that you may arrange the things lacking, and may set elders down in every city, as I appointed to you, 6 if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate— 7 for it is required of the overseer to be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleased, nor prone to anger, not given to wine, not an abuser, not given to shameful gain, Titus 1:1-7, Literal Standard Version.
