CAP. I.
1 Poul, the seruaunt of God, and apostle
of Jhesu Crist, bi the feith of the chosun
of God, and bi the knowing of the
treuthe,
2 whiche is aftir pitee, in to the
hope of euerlastinge lijf, which lijf God
that lieth not, bihi&yogh;te bifore tymes of
the world;
3 but he hath schewid in hise
tymes his word in preching, that is
-- --
bitakun to me bi the comaundement of
`God oure sauyour,
4 to Tite, most dereworthe
sone bi the comyn feith, grace
and pees of God the fadir, and of Crist
Jhesu, oure sauyour.
5 For cause of this
thing Y lefte thee at Crete, that thou
amende tho thingis that failen, and ordeyne
preestis bi citees, as also Y disposide
to thee.
6 If ony man is withoute
cryme, an hosebonde of o wijf, and hath
feithful sones, not in accusacioun of
letcherie, or not suget.
7 For it bihoueth
a bischop to be without cryme, a dispendour
of God, not proud, not wrathful,
not drunkelew, not smytere, not
coueytouse of foul wynnyng;
8 but holdinge
hospitalite, benygne, prudent, sobre,
iust,
9 hooli, contynent, takinge that trewe
word, that is aftir doctryn; that he be
mi&yogh;ti to amoneste in hoolsum techyng,
and to repreue hem that a&yogh;enseien.
10 For
ther ben many vnobedient, and veyn
spekeris, and disseyueris, moost thei that
ben of circumcisyoun,
11 whiche it bihoueth
to be repreued; whiche subuerten alle
housis, techinge whiche thingis it bihoueth
not, for the loue of foul wynnyng.
12 And oon of hem, her propre
profete, seide, Men of Crete ben euere
more lyeris, yuele beestis, of slowe
wombe.
13 This witnessyng is trewe. For
what cause blame hem sore, that thei
be hool in feith,
14 not &yogh;yuynge tent to
fablis of Jewis, and to maundementis
of men, that turnen awei hem fro
treuthe.
15 And alle thingis ben clene to
clene men; but to vnclene men and to
vnfeithful no thing is clene, for the
-- --
soule and conscience of hem ben maad
vnclene.
16 Thei knoulechen that thei
knowen God, but bi dedis thei denyen;
whanne thei ben abhominable, and vnbileueful,
and repreuable to al good
werk.
