These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

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:

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

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.

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

If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

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

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
