< Titus 1 >

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Paulus servus Dei apostolus autem Iesu Christi secundum fidem electorum Dei et agnitionem veritatis quae secundum pietatem est
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal; (aiōnios g166)
in spem vitae aeternae quam promisit qui non mentitur Deus ante tempora saecularia (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in praedicatione quae credita est mihi secundum praeceptum salvatoris nostri Dei
4 to Titus, my true child after a common faith: 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 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;
huius rei gratia reliqui te Cretae ut ea quae desunt corrigas et constituas per civitates presbyteros sicut ego tibi disposui
6 if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.
si quis sine crimine est unius uxoris vir filios habens fideles non in accusatione luxuriae aut non subditos
7 For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not selfwilled, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse sicut Dei dispensatorem non superbum non iracundum non vinolentum non percussorem non turpilucri cupidum
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, soberminded, just, holy, temperate;
sed hospitalem benignum sobrium iustum sanctum continentem
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.
amplectentem eum qui secundum doctrinam est fidelem sermonem ut potens sit et exhortari in doctrina sana et eos qui contradicunt arguere
10 For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,
sunt enim multi et inoboedientes vaniloqui et seductores maxime qui de circumcisione sunt
11 whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
quos oportet redargui qui universas domos subvertunt docentes quae non oportet turpis lucri gratia
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.
dixit quidam ex illis proprius ipsorum propheta Cretenses semper mendaces malae bestiae ventres pigri
13 This testimony is true. For which 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 giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
non intendentes iudaicis fabulis et mandatis hominum aversantium se a veritate
15 To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
omnia munda mundis coinquinatis autem et infidelibus nihil mundum sed inquinatae sunt eorum et mens et conscientia
16 They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
confitentur se nosse Deum factis autem negant cum sunt abominati et incredibiles et ad omne opus bonum reprobi
