Titus 3

1 Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,

Put them in mind that to princes and to powers they are to hearken and to be obedient, and to be prepared for every good work.

2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.

And against no man to rail, nor be contentious, but gentle, and in every thing to show their benignity towards all men.

3 For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.

For we also were afore-time without understanding, and disobedient and erring, and were subjected to various lusts; and in malice, and in envy we conversed, and were hateful, and also hating one another.

4 But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,

But when appeared the goodness and mercy of Aloha our Saviour,

5 not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit,

not by works of righteousness which we had done, but by his own mercy he saved us, by the laving of the birth which is afresh, by the renewing of the Spirit of Holiness,

6 which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

which he shed upon us abundantly, by Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour;

7 that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

that by his grace we might be justified, and be made heirs according to the hope of the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)

8 The word [is] faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

Faithful is the word; and in this I will that thou also establish them, that they should be careful to perform good works, they who have believed in Aloha. These are good and profitable unto men.

9 But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.

But from foolish disputations, and from tales of genealogies, and from contentions, and strifes of the sophree, withdraw; for profit is not in them, and they are vain.

10 An heretical man after a first and second admonition have done with,

From an heretical man, after one time and twice thou hast admonished him, withdraw;

11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.

and know that he who is such is perverse, and sinneth, and condemneth himself.

12 When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there.

When I have sent to thee Artema, or Tykikos, be careful to come to me at Nikopolis; for there I have determined in my mind to winter.

13 Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them;

But concerning Zina the sophra, and Apolo, be careful to provide them well, that nothing may be wanting to them.

14 and let ours also learn to apply themselves to good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful.

And let those also who are of us, learn to perform good works in things which are necessary, that they may not be without fruits.

15 All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with you all.

All they who are with me ask for thy peace. Ask for the peace of all who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you. Amen.
