Titus 1

1 PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

παυλος δουλος θεου αποστολος δε ιησου χριστου κατα πιστιν εκλεκτων θεου και επιγνωσιν αληθειας της κατ ευσεβειαν

2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)

επ ελπιδι ζωης αιωνιου ην επηγγειλατο ο αψευδης θεος προ χρονων αιωνιων (aiōnios g166)

3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

εφανερωσεν δε καιροις ιδιοις τον λογον αυτου εν κηρυγματι ο επιστευθην εγω κατ επιταγην του σωτηρος ημων θεου

4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

τιτω γνησιω τεκνω κατα κοινην πιστιν χαρις ελεος ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ιησου χριστου του σωτηρος ημων

5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

τουτου χαριν κατελιπον σε εν κρητη ινα τα λειποντα επιδιορθωση και καταστησης κατα πολιν πρεσβυτερους ως εγω σοι διεταξαμην

6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

ει τις εστιν ανεγκλητος μιας γυναικος ανηρ τεκνα εχων πιστα μη εν κατηγορια ασωτιας η ανυποτακτα

7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

δει γαρ τον επισκοπον ανεγκλητον ειναι ως θεου οικονομον μη αυθαδη μη οργιλον μη παροινον μη πληκτην μη αισχροκερδη

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

αλλα φιλοξενον φιλαγαθον σωφρονα δικαιον οσιον εγκρατη

9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

αντεχομενον του κατα την διδαχην πιστου λογου ινα δυνατος η και παρακαλειν εν τη διδασκαλια τη υγιαινουση και τους αντιλεγοντας ελεγχειν

10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

εισιν γαρ πολλοι και ανυποτακτοι ματαιολογοι και φρεναπαται μαλιστα οι εκ περιτομης

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

ους δει επιστομιζειν οιτινες ολους οικους ανατρεπουσιν διδασκοντες α μη δει αισχρου κερδους χαριν

12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

ειπεν τις εξ αυτων ιδιος αυτων προφητης κρητες αει ψευσται κακα θηρια γαστερες αργαι

13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

η μαρτυρια αυτη εστιν αληθης δι ην αιτιαν ελεγχε αυτους αποτομως ινα υγιαινωσιν εν τη πιστει

14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

μη προσεχοντες ιουδαικοις μυθοις και εντολαις ανθρωπων αποστρεφομενων την αληθειαν

15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

παντα μεν καθαρα τοις καθαροις τοις δε μεμιασμενοις και απιστοις ουδεν καθαρον αλλα μεμιανται αυτων και ο νους και η συνειδησις

16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

θεον ομολογουσιν ειδεναι τοις δε εργοις αρνουνται βδελυκτοι οντες και απειθεις και προς παν εργον αγαθον αδοκιμοι
