Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God—an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ, —according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness, —
Paulus servus Dei, Apostolus autem Iesu Christi secundum fidem electorum Dei, et agnitionem veritatis, quæ secundum pietatem est
2 In hope of life age-abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age-during times, (aiōnios g166)
in spem vitæ æternæ, quam promisit qui non mentitur, Deus, ante tempora sæcularia: (aiōnios g166)
3 but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I—by injunction of our Saviour God:
manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in prædicatione, quæ credita est mihi secundum præceptum Salvatoris nostri Dei:
4 Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith, —favour and peace, from God [our] 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, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged: —
Huius rei gratia reliqui te Cretæ, ut ea, quæ desunt, corrigas, et constituas per civitates presbyteros, sicut et ego disposui tibi.
6 If anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;
Si quis sine crimine est, unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriæ, aut non subditos.
7 For it is needful that the overseer be—unaccusable, as God’s steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,
Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem: non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum:
8 But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, kind, possessing self-control,
sed hospitalem, benignum, sobrium, iustum, sanctum, continentem,
9 Holding fast, in the matter of his teaching, the faithful word, that he may be able both to encourage with his healthful instruction, and, the gainsayers, to refute.
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 unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision, —
Sunt enim multi etiam inobedientes, vaniloqui, et seductores: maxime qui de circumcisione sunt:
11 Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught] —for the sake of base gain.
quos oportet redargui: qui universas domos subvertunt, docentes quæ non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.
12 Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!—Cretans! always false, mischievous wild-beasts, idle gluttons:
Dixit quidam ex illis, proprius ipsorum propheta: Cretenses semper mendaces, malæ bestiæ, ventres pigri.
13 This witness, is true, —for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,
Testimonium hoc verum est. Quam ob causam increpa illos dure, ut sani sint in fide,
14 Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth:
non intendentes Iudaicis fabulis, et mandatis hominum, aversantium se a veritate.
15 All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience;
Omnia munda mundis: coinquinatis autem, et infidelibus nihil est mundum, sed inquinatæ sunt eorum et mens, et conscientia.
16 God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.
Confitentur se nosse Deum, factis autem negant: cum sint abominati, et incredibiles, et ad omne opus bonum reprobi.
