The fyrst Chapter.
¶ Paule exhorteth Titus to ordeyne priestes ∧ Byshoppes
in euerye citie, declareth what maner of m&ebar;
they ought to be that are chosen to that offyce, ∧ chargeth
Titus to rebuke suche as withstand the gospell.
A notePaule the seruaunt
of God and
an Apostle of Iesu
Christ, to preache þe;
faythe, of Goddes
elect, ∧ the knowledge
of that truethe,
whiche is after
Godlynes, vpon
-- --
the hope, of eternall lyfe, whiche lyfe God þt;
can not lye, hath promysed before the worlde
beganne: but hath opened hys worde, at the
tyme appoynted thorowe preachynge which
preachynge is commytted vnto me by the c&obar;maundement
of God oure sauyoure. noteTo Titus
hys naturall sonne in the common fayth.
Grace, mercy, and peace fr&obar; God the father
and from the Lorde Iesu Christe oure sauyoure.
B note note&rhand; For thys cause left I the in Crete, that
thou shouldest performe that whiche was lackynge,
and shouldest ordeyne elders in euery
cytye as I appoynted the. Yf any be fautelesse,
the husbande of one wyfe hauyng faythfull
chyldren, whiche are not sclaundred of ryote,
neyther are dysobedyent. For a byshoppe
must be fautelesse, as it becommeth the mynister
of God: not stubborne, not angrye, no
dronkarde, no fyghter, not geuen to fylthy lucre:
but herberous one that loueth goodnes, sober
mynded, ryghtuous, holy temperate, and
suche as cleaueth vnto the true worde of doctryne,
that he maye be able to exhorte wyth
wholesome learnynge, and to improue them,
that saye agaynste it.
C &rhand; For there are many dysobedyent: ∧ talkers
of vanitye and disceyuers of myndes, namely
they of the circumcision, whose mouthes
must be stopped: whiche peruerte whole houses
teachynge thynges whiche they oughte
not because of fylthy lucre. One beyng of th&ebar;
selues, which was a poete of theyr owne, said:
The Cretians are alwayes lyars, euil beastes
and slowe belyes. Thys wytnesse is true,
wherfore rebuke them sharply that they may
be sounde in the fayth, and not takyng hede to
Iewes fables and commaundementes of m&ebar;
that turne from the truethe. noteVnto the pure
are all thynges pure, but vnto them that are
defyled and vnbeleuynge, is nothynge pure:
but euen the very myndes and consciences of
them are defyled. They confesse that they
knowe God: but wyth the dedes they denye
hym, and are abhomynable and dysobedient,
and vnto all good workes discommendable.
