- Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness--
- a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
- and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
- To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
- The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.

- An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
- Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless--not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
- Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
- He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
