3 (and He revealed His word in [His] own times), in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Savior,
But hath made his worde manifest in due time through the preaching, which is committed vnto me, according to the commandement of God our Sauiour:

5 For this cause I left you in Crete, that you may arrange the things lacking, and may set elders down in every city, as I appointed to you,
For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest continue to redresse the thinges that remaine, and shouldest ordeine Elders in euery citie, as I appointed thee,
6 if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate—
If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient.
7 for it is required of the overseer to be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleased, nor prone to anger, not given to wine, not an abuser, not given to shameful gain,
For a Bishop must bee vnreproueable, as Gods steward, not froward, not angrie, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre,
8 but a lover of strangers, a lover of [the] good, sober-minded, righteous, holy, self-controlled,
But harberous, one that loueth goodnesse, wise, righteous, holy, temperate,
9 holding—according to the teaching—to the steadfast word, that he may also be able to exhort in the sound teaching, and to convict the deniers;
Holding fast that faithfull worde according to doctrine, that he also may bee able to exhort with wholesome doctrine, and conuince them that say against it.
10 for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers—especially those of the circumcision—
For there are many disobedient and vaine talkers and deceiuers of mindes, chiefly they of the Circumcision,
11 whose mouths must be covered, who overturn whole households, teaching what things it should not, for [the] sake of shameful gain.
Whose mouthes must bee stopped, which subuert whole houses, teaching things, which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake.
12 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans! Always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!”
One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith,
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth.
And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth.
15 All things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and nothing [is] pure to the defiled and unsteadfast, but even the mind and the conscience of them [is] defiled.
Vnto the pure are all things pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure, but euen their mindes and consciences are defiled.
16 They profess to know God, but they deny [Him] by their works, being abominable, and disobedient, and disapproved to every good work.
They professe that they know God, but by works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate.
