Titus 3
1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
REMIND them to be subject to princes and those invested with authority, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
to slander no man, to be inoffensive, gentle, shewing all meekness to all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of YHWH our Saviour toward man appeared,
But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Set-apart Spirit;
not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Yahushua the Messiah our Saviour;
which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his Favour, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in YHWH might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
Faithful is the saying, and of these things I wish thee firmly to testify, that they who have believed in God be careful to be pre-eminent in good works. These are becoming and advantageous to men.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
But foolish disquisitions, and genealogies, and disputes, and contentions about the law avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
An heretical person after a first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
Send forward diligently Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that nothing may be wanting for them.
14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
And let those who belong to us learn also to be pre-eminent in good works for all necessary calls, that they be not without fruits.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Favour be with you all.
All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us with fidelity. Grace be with you all. Amen. This epistle was written to Titus appointed by suffrage first bishop of the church of Crete, from Nicopolis in Macedonia.
