    Titus 1
    • 1   Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
    • 2   in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal;
    • 3   but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
    • 4   to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
    • 5   For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;
    • 6   if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.
    • 7   For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
    • 8   but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;
    • 9   holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.
    • 10   For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,
    • 11   whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
    • 12   One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.
    • 13   This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
    • 14   not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
    • 15   To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
    • 16   They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

    The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

    The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

    While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

    Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
