Titus 3

1 Make clear to them that they are to put themselves under rulers and authorities, to do what they are ordered, to be ready for every good work,

υπομιμνησκε αυτουσ αρχαισ και εξουσιαισ υποτασσεσθαι πειθαρχειν προσ παν εργον αγαθον ετοιμουσ ειναι

2 To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

μηδενα βλασφημειν αμαχουσ ειναι επιεικεισ πασαν ενδεικνυμενουσ πραοτητα προσ παντασ ανθρωπουσ

3 For in the past we were foolish, hard in heart, turned from the true way, servants of evil desires and pleasures, living in bad feeling and envy, hated and hating one another.

ημεν γαρ ποτε και ημεισ ανοητοι απειθεισ πλανωμενοι δουλευοντεσ επιθυμιαισ και ηδοναισ ποικιλαισ εν κακια και φθονω διαγοντεσ στυγητοι μισουντεσ αλληλουσ

4 But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

οτε δε η χρηστοτησ και η φιλανθρωπια επεφανη του σωτηροσ ημων θεου

5 Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

ουκ εξ εργων των εν δικαιοσυνη ων εποιησαμεν ημεισ αλλα κατα τον αυτου ελεον εσωσεν ημασ δια λουτρου παλιγγενεσιασ και ανακαινωσεωσ πνευματοσ αγιου

6 Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

ου εξεχεεν εφ ημασ πλουσιωσ δια ιησου χριστου του σωτηροσ ημων

7 So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

ινα δικαιωθεντεσ τη εκεινου χαριτι κληρονομοι γενωμεθα κατ ελπιδα ζωησ αιωνιου (aiōnios g166)

8 This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

πιστοσ ο λογοσ και περι τουτων βουλομαι σε διαβεβαιουσθαι ινα φροντιζωσιν καλων εργων προιστασθαι οι πεπιστευκοτεσ θεω ταυτα εστιν τα καλα και ωφελιμα τοισ ανθρωποισ

9 But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.

μωρασ δε ζητησεισ και γενεαλογιασ και ερεισ και μαχασ νομικασ περιιστασο εισιν γαρ ανωφελεισ και ματαιοι

10 A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;

αιρετικον ανθρωπον μετα μιαν και δευτεραν νουθεσιαν παραιτου

11 Clearly he is in error and a sinner, being self-judged.

ειδωσ οτι εξεστραπται ο τοιουτοσ και αμαρτανει ων αυτοκατακριτοσ

12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.

οταν πεμψω αρτεμαν προσ σε η τυχικον σπουδασον ελθειν προσ με εισ νικοπολιν εκει γαρ κεκρικα παραχειμασαι

13 Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.

ζηναν τον νομικον και απολλω σπουδαιωσ προπεμψον ινα μηδεν αυτοισ λειπη

14 And let our people go on with good works for necessary purposes, so that they may not be without fruit.

μανθανετωσαν δε και οι ημετεροι καλων εργων προιστασθαι εισ τασ αναγκαιασ χρειασ ινα μη ωσιν ακαρποι

15 All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.

ασπαζονται σε οι μετ εμου παντεσ ασπασαι τουσ φιλουντασ ημασ εν πιστει η χαρισ μετα παντων υμων αμην
