Titus 3
1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
Pvt them in remembrance that they bee subiect to the Principalities and powers, and that they bee obedient, and ready to euery good woorke,
2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people.
That they speake euill of no man, that they be no fighters, but soft, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.
3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
For wee our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing the lustes and diuers pleasures, liuing in maliciousnes and enuie, hatefull, and hating one another:
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward humankind appeared,
But when that bountifulnesse and that loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,
5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the mikveh of rebirth and renewing by the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
Not by the woorkes of righteousnesse, which we had done, but according to his mercie he saued vs, by the washing of the newe birth, and the renewing of the holy Ghost,
6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Yeshua the Messiah our Savior;
Which he shed on vs aboundantly, through Iesus Christ our Sauiour,
7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
That we, being iustified by his grace, should be made heires according to the hope of eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for people;
This is a true saying, and these thinges I will thou shouldest affirme, that they which haue beleeued God, might be carefull to shewe foorth good woorkes. These things are good and profitable vnto men.
9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
But stay foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and brawlings about the Lawe: for they are vnprofitable and vaine.
10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;
Reiect him that is an heretike, after once or twise admonition,
11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
Knowing that hee that is such, is peruerted, and sinneth, being damned of his owne selfe.
12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to mee vnto Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.
13 Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
Bring Zenas the expounder of the Lawe, and Apollos on their iourney diligently, that they lacke nothing.
14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
And let ours also learne to shewe foorth good woorkes for necessary vses, that they be not vnfruitfull.
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
All that are with mee, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the faith. Grace bee with you all, Amen. ‘To Titus, elect the first bishoppe of the Church of the Cretians, written from Nicopolis in Macedonia.’
