Titus 3
1 Pvt them in remembrance that they bee subiect to the Principalities and powers, and that they bee obedient, and ready to euery good woorke,
Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,
2 That they speake euill of no man, that they be no fighters, but soft, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.
to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.
3 For wee our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing the lustes and diuers pleasures, liuing in maliciousnes and enuie, hatefull, and hating one another:
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.
4 But when that bountifulnesse and that loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,
But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,
5 Not by the woorkes of righteousnesse, which we had done, but according to his mercie he saued vs, by the washing of the newe birth, and the renewing of the holy Ghost,
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,
6 Which he shed on vs aboundantly, through Iesus Christ our Sauiour,
which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That we, being iustified by his grace, should be made heires according to the hope of eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 This is a true saying, and these thinges I will thou shouldest affirme, that they which haue beleeued God, might be carefull to shewe foorth good woorkes. These things are good and profitable vnto men.
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.
9 But stay foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and brawlings about the Lawe: for they are vnprofitable and vaine.
But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Reiect him that is an heretike, after once or twise admonition,
An heretical man after a first and second admonition have done with,
11 Knowing that hee that is such, is peruerted, and sinneth, being damned of his owne selfe.
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12 When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to mee vnto Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.
When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there.
13 Bring Zenas the expounder of the Lawe, and Apollos on their iourney diligently, that they lacke nothing.
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them;
14 And let ours also learne to shewe foorth good woorkes for necessary vses, that they be not vnfruitfull.
and let ours also learn to apply themselves to good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 All that are with mee, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the faith. Grace bee with you all, Amen. ‘To Titus, elect the first bishoppe of the Church of the Cretians, written from Nicopolis in Macedonia.’
All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with you all.
