Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,
Paulus servus Dei, Apostolus autem Iesu Christi secundum fidem electorum Dei, et agnitionem veritatis, quae secundum pietatem est
2 on hope of continuous life, which God, who does not lie, promised before times of ages (aiōnios g166)
in spem vitae aeternae, quam promisit qui non mentitur, Deus, ante tempora saecularia: (aiōnios g166)
3 (and He revealed His word in [His] own times), in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Savior,
manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in praedicatione, quae credita est mihi secundum praeceptum Salvatoris nostri Dei:
4 to Titus—true child according to a common faith: Grace, [[kindness, ]] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior!
Tito dilecto filio secundum communem fidem, gratia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Iesu Salvatore nostro.
5 For this cause I left you in Crete, that you may arrange the things lacking, and may set elders down in every city, as I appointed to you,
Huius rei gratia reliqui te Cretae, ut ea, quae desunt, corrigas, et constituas per civitates presbyteros, sicut et ego disposui tibi.
6 if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate—
Si quis sine crimine est, unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriae, aut non subditos.
7 for it is required of the overseer to be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleased, nor prone to anger, not given to wine, not an abuser, not given to shameful gain,
Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem: non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum:
8 but a lover of strangers, a lover of [the] good, sober-minded, righteous, holy, self-controlled,
sed hospitalem, benignum, prudentem, sobrium, iustum, sanctum, continentem,
9 holding—according to the teaching—to the steadfast word, that he may also be able to exhort in the sound teaching, and to convict the deniers;
amplectentem eum, qui secundum doctrinam est, fidelem sermonem: ut potens sit exhortari in doctrina sana, et eos, qui contradicunt, arguere.
10 for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers—especially those of the circumcision—
Sunt enim multi etiam inobedientes vaniloqui, et seductores: maxime qui de circumcisione sunt:
11 whose mouths must be covered, who overturn whole households, teaching what things it should not, for [the] sake of shameful gain.
quos oportet redargui: qui universas domos subvertunt, docentes quae non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.
12 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans! Always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!”
Dixit quidam ex illis, proprius ipsorum propheta: Cretenses semper mendaces, malae bestiae, ventris pigri.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Testimonium hoc verum est. Quam ob causam increpa illos dure, ut sani sint in fide,
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth.
non intendentes Iudaicis fabulis, et mandatis hominum, aversantium se a veritate.
15 All things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and nothing [is] pure to the defiled and unsteadfast, but even the mind and the conscience of them [is] defiled.
Omnia munda mundis: coinquinatis autem, et infidelibus nihil est mundum, sed inquinatae sunt eorum et mens, et conscientia.
16 They profess to know God, but they deny [Him] by their works, being abominable, and disobedient, and disapproved to every good work.
Confitentur se nosse Deum, factis autem negant: cum sint abominati, et incredibiles, et ad omne opus bonum reprobi.
