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,
Paulus servus Dei, Apostolus autem Jesu Christi secundum fidem electorum Dei, et agnitionem veritatis, quæ secundum pietatem est
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)
in spem vitæ æternæ, quam promisit qui non mentitur, Deus, ante tempora sæcularia: (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;
manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in prædicatione, quæ credita est mihi secundum præceptum Salvatoris nostri Dei:
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Tito dilecto filio secundum communem fidem, gratia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Salvatore nostro.
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;
Hujus rei gratia reliqui te Cretæ, ut ea quæ desunt, corrigas, et constituas per civitates presbyteros, sicut et ego disposui tibi,
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
si quis sine crimine est, unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriæ, aut non subditos.
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem: non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum:
8 but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;
sed hospitalem, benignum, sobrium, justum, sanctum, continentem,
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.
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 rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Sunt enim multi etiam inobedientes, vaniloqui, et seductores: maxime qui de circumcisione sunt:
11 whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
quos oportet redargui: qui universas domos subvertunt, docentes quæ non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."
Dixit quidam ex illis, proprius ipsorum propheta: Cretenses semper mendaces, malæ bestiæ, ventres pigri.
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove 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 paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.
non intendentes judaicis fabulis, et mandatis hominum, aversantium se a veritate.
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.
Omnia munda mundis: coinquinatis autem et infidelibus, nihil est mundum, sed inquinatæ sunt eorum et mens et conscientia.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Confitentur se nosse Deum, factis autem negant: cum sint abominati, et incredibiles, et ad omne opus bonum reprobi.
