Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.

At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
