Titus 1
1 To Titus, my true son in a common faith, from Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and to the knowledge of the truth which goes with piety;
Paulus servus Dei, Apostolus autem Iesu Christi secundum fidem electorum Dei, et agnitionem veritatis, quae secundum pietatem est
2 I write in hope of life eternal which God who never lies, promised before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)
in spem vitae aeternae, quam promisit qui non mentitur, Deus, ante tempora saecularia: (aiōnios g166)
3 but manifested in his own time; that word of his in proclaiming which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour.
manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in praedicatione, quae credita est mihi secundum praeceptum Salvatoris nostri Dei:
4 Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Tito dilecto filio secundum communem fidem, gratia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Iesu Salvatore nostro.
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you might set right the things left unfinished, and appoint presbyters in every city as I had instructed you;
Huius rei gratia reliqui te Cretae, ut ea, quae desunt, corrigas, et constituas per civitates presbyteros, sicut et ego disposui tibi.
6 men who are blameless, the husband of one wife, with believing children who are not accused of riot or insubordination.
Si quis sine crimine est, unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriae, aut non subditos.
7 For indeed a presiding officer, as God’s steward, ought to be blameless, not self-willed or quick-tempered, not a drunkard or violent, or greedy of filthy lucre;
Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem: non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum:
8 but he must be hospitable, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled.
sed hospitalem, benignum, prudentem, sobrium, iustum, sanctum, continentem,
9 He must hold to the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may be able both to encourage by sound teaching, and to confute our opponents.
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 individuals who are unruly, empty talkers and deceivers, particularly those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped;
Sunt enim multi etiam inobedientes vaniloqui, et seductores: maxime qui de circumcisione sunt:
11 for they upset whole households and, for filthy lucre’s sake, teach what they ought not to teach.
quos oportet redargui: qui universas domos subvertunt, docentes quae non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.
12 By one of their own number, by a prophet of their own, it has been said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons."
Dixit quidam ex illis, proprius ipsorum propheta: Cretenses semper mendaces, malae bestiae, ventris pigri.
13 This testimony is true. So rebuke them sharply,
Testimonium hoc verum est. Quam ob causam increpa illos dure, ut sani sint in fide,
14 so as to make them sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
non intendentes Iudaicis fabulis, et mandatis hominum, aversantium se a veritate.
15 All things are pure to the pure; but to the contaminated and the faithless nothing is pure, nay, their very minds and consciences are tainted.
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 by their deeds they disown him; in that they are detestable, disobedient, and reprobate for good work of any sort.
Confitentur se nosse Deum, factis autem negant: cum sint abominati, et incredibiles, et ad omne opus bonum reprobi.
