Titus 1

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

παυλοσ δουλοσ θεου αποστολοσ δε ιησου χριστου κατα πιστιν εκλεκτων θεου και επιγνωσιν αληθειασ τησ κατ ευσεβειαν

2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)

επ ελπιδι ζωησ αιωνιου ην επηγγειλατο ο αψευδησ θεοσ προ χρονων αιωνιων (aiōnios g166)

3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;

εφανερωσεν δε καιροισ ιδιοισ τον λογον αυτου εν κηρυγματι ο επιστευθην εγω κατ επιταγην του σωτηροσ ημων θεου

4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

τιτω γνησιω τεκνω κατα κοινην πιστιν χαρισ ελεοσ ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ και κυριου ιησου χριστου του σωτηροσ ημων

5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;

τουτου χαριν κατελιπον σε εν κρητη ινα τα λειποντα επιδιορθωση και καταστησησ κατα πολιν πρεσβυτερουσ ωσ εγω σοι διεταξαμην

6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

ει τισ εστιν ανεγκλητοσ μιασ γυναικοσ ανηρ τεκνα εχων πιστα μη εν κατηγορια ασωτιασ η ανυποτακτα

7 For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

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

8 but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;

αλλα φιλοξενον φιλαγαθον σωφρονα δικαιον οσιον εγκρατη

9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

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 rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

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

11 whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.

ουσ δει επιστομιζειν οιτινεσ ολουσ οικουσ ανατρεπουσιν διδασκοντεσ α μη δει αισχρου κερδουσ χαριν

12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."

ειπεν τισ εξ αυτων ιδιοσ αυτων προφητησ κρητεσ αει ψευσται κακα θηρια γαστερεσ αργαι

13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove 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 paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.

μη προσεχοντεσ ιουδαικοισ μυθοισ και εντολαισ ανθρωπων αποστρεφομενων την αληθειαν

15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are 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 by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

θεον ομολογουσιν ειδεναι τοισ δε εργοισ αρνουνται βδελυκτοι οντεσ και απειθεισ και προσ παν εργον αγαθον αδοκιμοι
