5 For this cause G5484 ADV left G2641 V-2AAI-1S I thee G4571 P-2AS in G1722 PREP Crete G2914 N-DSF , that G2443 CONJ thou shouldest set in order G1930 V-AMS-2S the things that are wanting G3007 V-PAP-APN , and G2532 CONJ ordain G2525 V-AAS-2S elders G4245 A-APM in every city G2596 PREP , as G5613 ADV I G1473 P-1NS had appointed G1299 V-AMI-1S thee G4671 P-2DS :
6 If any G1536 be G2076 V-PXI-3S blameless G410 A-NSM , the husband G435 N-NSM of one G3391 wife G1135 N-GSF , having G2192 V-PAP-NSM faithful G4103 A-APN children G5043 N-APN not G3361 PRT-N accused G2724 N-DSF of riot G810 N-GSF or G2228 PRT unruly G506 A-APN .
7 For G3588 T-ASM a bishop G1985 N-ASM must G1163 V-PQI-3S be G1511 V-PXN blameless G410 A-ASM , as G5613 ADV the steward G3623 N-ASM of God G2316 N-GSM ; not G3361 PRT-N self G829 A-ASM - willed , not G3361 PRT-N soon angry G3711 A-ASM , not G3361 PRT-N given to wine G3943 A-ASM , no G3361 PRT-N striker G4131 N-ASM , not G3361 PRT-N given to filthy lucre G146 A-ASM ;
8 But G235 CONJ a lover of hospitality G5382 A-ASM , a lover of good men G5358 A-ASM , sober G4998 A-ASM , just G1342 A-ASM , holy G3741 A-ASM , temperate G1468 A-ASM ;
9 Holding fast G472 V-PNP-ASM the G3588 T-GSM faithful G4103 A-GSM word G3056 N-GSM as he hath been taught G2596 PREP , that G2443 CONJ he may be G5600 V-PXS-3S able G1415 A-NSM by G1722 PREP sound G5198 V-PAP-DSF doctrine G1319 N-DSF both G2532 CONJ to exhort G3870 V-PAN and G2532 CONJ to convince G1651 V-PAN the G3588 T-APM gainsayers G483 V-PAP-APM .
10 For G1063 CONJ there are G1526 V-PXI-3P many G4183 A-NPM unruly G506 A-NPM and vain talkers G3151 A-NPM and G2532 CONJ deceivers G5423 N-NPM , especially G3122 ADV they G3588 T-NPM of G1537 PREP the circumcision G4061 N-GSF :

12 One G5100 X-NSM of G1537 PREP themselves G846 P-GPM , even a prophet G4396 N-NSM of their G846 P-GPM own G2398 A-NSM , said G2036 V-2AAI-3S , The Cretians G2912 N-NPM are always G104 ADV liars G5583 N-NPM , evil G2556 A-NPN beasts G2342 N-NPN , slow G692 A-NPF bellies G1064 N-NPF .
13 This G3588 T-NSF witness G3141 N-NSF is G2076 V-PXI-3S true G227 A-NSF . Wherefore G1223 PREP rebuke G1651 V-PAM-2S them G846 P-APM sharply G664 ADV , that G2443 CONJ they may be sound G5198 V-PAS-3P in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF faith G4102 N-DSF ;

15 Unto the G3588 T-DPM pure G2513 A-NPN all things G3956 A-NPN are A-DPM pure G2513 A-DPM : but G1161 CONJ unto them G3588 T-DPM that are defiled G3392 V-RPP-DPM and G2532 CONJ unbelieving G571 A-DPM is nothing G3762 A-NSN pure G2513 A-NSN ; but G235 CONJ even G2532 CONJ their G3588 T-NSM mind G3563 N-NSM and G2532 CONJ conscience G4893 N-NSF is defiled G3392 V-RPI-3S .
16 They profess G3670 V-PAI-3P that they know G1492 V-RAN God G2316 N-ASM ; but G1161 CONJ in works G2041 N-DPN they deny G720 V-PNI-3P him , being G5607 V-PXP-NPM abominable G947 A-NPM , and G2532 CONJ disobedient G545 A-NPM , and G2532 CONJ unto G4314 PREP every G3956 A-ASN good G18 A-ASN work G2041 N-ASN reprobate G96 A-NPM .
