| Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 5 For cause of this thing I left thee at Crete, that thou amend those things that fail, and ordain priests by cities, as also I assigned to thee [as and I disposed to thee]. | 5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. |
