| 1:6 | If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient. |
| 1:7 | For a Bishop must bee vnreproueable, as Gods steward, not froward, not angrie, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre, |
| 1:8 | But harberous, one that loueth goodnesse, wise, righteous, holy, temperate, |
| 1:9 | 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. |

| 1:12 | One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies. |
| 1:13 | This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith, |
| 1:14 | And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth. |

| 1:2 | in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages began, |
| 1:3 | but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior; |

| 1:14 | not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. |
| 1:15 | To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. |
| 1:16 | They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. |
