Titus is yet further directed by Paul, both concerning the things he should teach, and not teach.

1 ¶ Put¹ª them¹ in mindºª² to be subjectºª to principalitiesº andº powers,º to obey magistrates,ºª to beºª readyº toº everyº goodº work,º 2 To speak evil² of¹ª no man,º to beºª no brawlers,º [but] gentle,º shewingºª allº meeknessº untoº allº men.º 3 Forº we² ourselves¹ alsoº wereºª¹ª sometimesº foolish,º disobedient,º deceived,ºª servingºª diversº lustsº andº pleasures,º livingºª inº maliceº andº envy,º hateful,º [and] hatingºª one another.º 4 Butº afterº that the² kindnessº andº love¹ª of God¹ our¹ Saviour¹ toward manº²²² appeared,ºª 5 Notº byº worksº ofº righteousnessº whichº weº have done,ºª butº according² to¹ his¹² mercyº he savedºª us,º byº the washingº of regeneration,º andº renewingº of the Holyº Ghost;º 6 Whichº he shedºª onº usº abundantlyº throughº Jesusº Christº ourº Saviour;º 7 Thatº being justified² by¹ª hisº grace,º we should be madeºª heirsº according² to¹ the hopeº of eternalº life.º 8 [This is] a faithfulº saying,º andº these thingsº¹ I willºª that thouº affirm constantly,ºª thatº they which have believedºª in Godº might be carefulºª to maintainºª goodº works.º These thingsº areºª goodº andº profitableº unto men.º 9 Butº avoidºª foolishº questions,º andº genealogies,º andº contentions,º andº strivings² about¹ the law;º forº they areºª unprofitableº andº vain.º
