Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, (according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledgment of the truth, which is according to godliness;
in hope of eternal life, which God, who can not lie, promised before the times of the ages-- (aiōnios g166)

to Titus, my genuine son, according to the common faith: Favor, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
5 Te ham ni Krete ah nang kang khueh. Te daengah ni Kai loh nang kan uen vanbangla kho takuem ah a hamca rhoek na tuek vetih a vawtthoek te na soepsoei thai eh.
For this purpose, I left you in Crete, that you might set in order the things left unfinished, and to ordain seniors in every city, as I commanded you.
6 Tedae khat khat ni cimbit la a om atah, yuu va pakhat bueng aka om, a ca rhoek uepom la aka om, cungpoehnah neh thinthah dongah lai om boel saeh.
If any one be without blame, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not accused of riotous living, nor unruly.

For a bishop should be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not prone to anger, not given to wine, not a striker, not one who makes gain by base methods;
8 Tedae moeihoeih la, ko-op la, cuepmueih la, a dueng la, a cim la kuemsuem saeh.
but hospitable; a lover of good men, prudent, just, holy, temperate;

For there are many unruly and foolish talked and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 Amih te kamkhuem sak ham a kuek coeng. Amih loh rhaidaeng a ti uh mueh la imkhui tom a palet uh tih amah hoeikhangnah ham te a thuituen uh.
whose mouths must be stopped; who subvert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.
12 Amih khuikah hlang pakhat, amih kah tonghma loh, “Krete, laithae rhoek, boethae maehkai, palyal bungkawng taitu uh mai,” a ti.
One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, "The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy bodies."
13 Hekah laipai tah thuem. Tekah paelnaehnah lamloh amih te rhap toeltham. Te daengah ni tangnah dongah a sa a ding uh eh.
This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be healthy in the faith--
14 Judah rhoek kah yancil neh oltak aka phaelh hlang rhoek kah olpaek te hnatung boeh.
not giving heed to Jewish fables, and precepts of men who pervert the truth.
15 A rhoepsaep he aka caih rhoek ham a caih la om. Tedae aka boi rhoek neh aka tangnahmueh rhoek ham tah caih pawh. Tedae amih kah lungbuei neh mingcimnah khaw boi uh coeng.
To the pure, all meats are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving, nothing is pure; for both their understanding and conscience are polluted.
16 Pathen te ming ham a phong uh dae a khoboe neh a hnawt uh. Rhalawt la om uh tih lokhak uh. Bibi then boeih nen khaw lolhmaih uh.
They profess to know God; but by works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
