For thisg3778 reasong5484 I leftg620 you in  aCreteg2914, that you would setg1930 in orderg1930 what remainsg3007 and  bappointg2525  celdersg4245 in everyg2596 cityg4172 as I directedg1299 you,

6

namely,  aifg1487 anyg5100 mang5100 is aboveg410 reproachg410, the  bhusbandg435 of oneg1520 wifeg1135, havingg2192 childreng5043 whog4103 believeg4103, not accusedg2724 of  cdissipationg810 org2228  drebelliong506.

For the  1 aoverseerg1985 mustg1163 be aboveg410 reproachg410 as  bGod'sg2316 stewardg3623, not  cself-willedg829, not quick-temperedg3711, not  daddictedg3943 to wineg3943, not pugnaciousg4131,  enot fondg146 of sordidg146 gaing146,

8

but  ahospitableg5382,  blovingg5358 whatg5358 is goodg5358, sensibleg4998, justg1342, devoutg3741, self-controlledg1468,

9

 aholdingg472 fastg472 the faithfulg4103 wordg3056 which is in accordanceg2596 with the teachingg1322, sog2443 that he will be ableg1415 bothg2532 to exhortg3870 in  bsoundg5198 doctrineg1319 and to refuteg1651 thoseg3588 who contradictg483.

10

 aFor there are manyg4183  brebelliousg506 meng506,  cemptyg3151 talkersg3151 and deceiversg5423, especiallyg3122  dthoseg3588 of the circumcisiong4061,

whog3739 mustg1163 be silencedg1993 becauseg3748 they are upsettingg396  awholeg3650 familiesg3624, teachingg1321  bthingsg3739 they shouldg1163 not teach  cfor the sakeg5484 of sordidg150 gaing2771.

Oneg5100 of themselvesg846, a prophetg4396 of their owng2398, saidg3004, " aCretansg2912 are alwaysg104 liarsg5583, evilg2556 beastsg2342, lazyg692 gluttonsg1064."

13

Thisg3778 testimonyg3141 is trueg227. For thisg3739 reasong156  areproveg1651 them  bseverelyg664 sog2443 that they may be  csoundg5198 in the faithg4102,

14

not payingg4337 attentiong4337 to Jewishg2451  amythsg3454 and  bcommandmentsg1785 of meng444 who  cturng654 awayg654 from the truthg225.

 aTo the pureg2513, allg3956 thingsg3956 are pureg2513; but  bto thoseg3588 who are defiledg3392 and unbelievingg571, nothingg3762 is pureg2513, but bothg2532 their  cmindg3563 and their conscienceg4893 are defiledg3392.

16

 aThey professg3670 to knowg3609a Godg2316, but by their deedsg2041 they  bdenyg720 Him, beingg1510  cdetestableg947 and  ddisobedientg545 and  eworthlessg96b  ffor anyg3956 goodg18 deedg2041.
