< 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,

2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal; (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;
niSkapaTa Izvara AdikAlAt pUrvvaM tat jIvanaM pratijnjAtavAn svanirUpitasamayE ca ghOSaNayA tat prakAzitavAn|
4 to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

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;

6 if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.

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;
yatO hEtOradyakSENEzvarasya gRhAdyakSENEvAnindanIyEna bhavitavyaM| tEna svEcchAcAriNA krOdhinA pAnAsaktEna prahArakENa lObhinA vA na bhavitavyaM
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, soberminded, just, holy, temperate;
kintvatithisEvakEna sallOkAnurAgiNA vinItEna nyAyyEna dhArmmikENa jitEndriyENa ca bhavitavyaM,
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.

10 For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,
yatastE bahavO 'vAdhyA anarthakavAkyavAdinaH pravanjcakAzca santi vizESatazchinnatvacAM madhyE kEcit tAdRzA lOkAH santi|
11 whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.

13 This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
sAkSyamEtat tathyaM, atO hEtOstvaM tAn gAPhaM bhartsaya tE ca yathA vizvAsE svasthA bhavEyu
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

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.

16 They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
