Sha’ul [desired], a slave of God-The Father, and an apostle of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], according to the faith of God-The Father’s elect, and the acknowledging of the twhich is after godliness;1Ti 3:16
In hope of eternal life, which God-The Father, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;Num 23:19; Rom 16:25
But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God-The Father our Saviour;Gal 1:15; Eph 3:8; Col 1:28; 2Ti 1:11
To Titus [nurse], [my] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God-The Father the Father and the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] our Saviour.
For this cause left I youi in Crete [fleshy], that youi should set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed youi:
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.1Ti 3:4
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God-The Father; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy profit;Lev 10:9; 1Ti 3:3
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convict the gainsayers.1Ti 6:3
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:Rom 16:17
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy profit’s sake.
One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [fleshy] [are] always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.
This witness is true. For what reason rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.Mat 15:9; Mrk 7:7; 1Ti 1:4
Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.Mat 15:11; Rom 14:14
They profess that they know God-The Father; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (rejected; failing the test; lost in sin).2Ti 3:5
