I. |Introduction — 1:1-4

Titus|1:1|-|Paul, a |a|slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ |b|according to the |1c|faith of God’s |2d|chosen ones and the |3e|full knowledge of the truth, which is |4f|according to godliness,
Titus|1:2|-|In the |1a|hope of |2b|eternal life, which God, who |c|cannot lie, |3d|promised |4|before the |e|times of the ages
Titus|1:3|-|But in |1a|its own times |b|manifested |2|His |c|word in the |d|proclamation with which I was |e|entrusted |f|according to the |3|command of our |f|Savior God;
Titus|1:4|-|To |a|Titus, genuine |b|child |c|according to the |1|common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

II. |Establishing the authority in the church — 1:5-9

Titus|1:5|-|For this cause I left you in |a|Crete, that you might set in order the things which I have begun that remain and appoint |b|elders in |1c|every city, as I |d|directed you:
Titus|1:6|-||a|If anyone is |b|unreprovable, the |1|husband of one wife, having believing children not accused of |c|dissoluteness or |d|unruly.
Titus|1:7|-|For the |1a|overseer must be unreprovable as a |b|steward of God, not |c|self-willed, |2|not quick tempered, |3|not an excessive drinker, |4|not a striker, |5|not greedy for base gain;
Titus|1:8|-|But |1|hospitable, a |a|lover of good, |2|of a sober mind, righteous, |3|holy, self-controlled;
Titus|1:9|-||1a|Holding to the |2b|faithful word, which is according to the |3|teaching of the apostles, that he may be able both to exhort by the |4c|healthy teaching and to |5|convict |6|those who |d|oppose.

III. |Dealing with the influence of Judaism and Gnosticism — 1:10-16

Titus|1:10|-|For there are many |a|unruly men, |b|vain talkers and |c|deceivers, especially |1d|those of the circumcision,
Titus|1:11|-|Whose mouths must be |1|stopped, who overthrow whole |a|households, teaching |b|things |2c|for the sake of base gain, which they ought not to do.
Titus|1:12|-|One from among |1|themselves, a |2a|prophet of their own, said, |b|Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle |3|gluttons.
Titus|1:13|-|This testimony is true; for which cause |1a|reprove them |2b|severely that they may be |3c|healthy in the |4|faith,
Titus|1:14|-|Not paying attention to Jewish |1a|myths and the |2b|commandments of men who |3c|turn away from the |4d|truth.
Titus|1:15|-||1|All things are |a|pure to the pure; yet to those who are |2|defiled and unbelieving |b|nothing is pure, but both their |3c|mind and their conscience are |2|defiled.
Titus|1:16|-|They |1|profess to know God, but by their works they |a|deny Him, being |b|abominable and |c|disobedient and, as to every good work, |2d|disapproved.
