Titus 3
1 Amoneste hem to be sugetis to prynces, and to poweris; to obeische to that that is seid, and to be redi to al good werk;
Admone illos principibus, et potestatibus subditos esse, dicto obedire, ad omne opus bonum paratos esse:
2 to blasfeme no man, to be not ful of chiding, but temperat, schewynge al myldenesse to alle men.
neminem blasphemare, non litigiosos esse, sed modestos, omnem ostendentes mansuetudinem ad omnes homines.
3 For we weren sum tyme vnwise, vnbileueful, errynge, and seruynge to desiris, and to dyuerse lustis, doynge in malice and enuye, worthi to be hatid, hatinge ech othere.
Eramus enim aliquando et nos insipientes, increduli, errantes, servientes desideriis, et voluptatibus variis, in malitia et invidia agentes, odibiles, odientes invicem.
4 But whanne the benygnyte and the manhed of oure sauyour God aperide,
Cum autem benignitas, et humanitas apparuit Salvatoris nostri Dei:
5 not of werkis of riytwisnesse that we diden, but bi his merci he made vs saaf, bi waischyng of ayen bigetyng, and ayen newyng of the Hooli Goost,
non ex operibus iustitiae, quae fecimus nos, sed secundum suam misericordiam salvos nos fecit per lavacrum regenerationis, et renovationis Spiritus sancti,
6 whom he schedde into vs plenteuousli bi Jhesu Crist, oure saueour,
quem effudit in nos abunde per Iesum Christum Salvatorem nostrum:
ut iustificati gratia ipsius, heredes simus secundum spem vitae aeternae. (aiōnios g166)
8 A trewe word is, and of these thingis Y wole that thou conferme othere, that thei that bileuen to God, be bisy to be aboue othere in good werkis. These thingis ben good, and profitable to men.
Fidelis sermo est: et de his volo te confirmare: ut curent bonis operibus praeesse qui credunt Deo. Haec sunt bona, et utilia hominibus.
9 And eschewe thou foltische questiouns, and genologies, and stryues, and fiytyngis of the lawe; for tho ben vnprofitable and veyn.
Stultas autem quaestiones, et genealogias, et contentiones, et pugnas legis devita. sunt enim inutiles, et vanae.
10 Eschewe thou a man eretik, aftir oon and the secound correccioun;
Haereticum hominem post unam, et secundam correptionem devita:
11 witinge that he that is siche a maner man is subuertid, and trespassith, and is dampned bi his owne dom.
sciens quia subversus est, qui eiusmodi est, et delinquit, cum sit proprio iudicio condemnatus.
12 Whanne Y sende to thee Arteman, or Titicus, hiy thou to `come to me to Nycopolis; for Y haue purposid to dwelle in wyntir there.
Cum misero ad te Artemam, aut Tychicum, festina ad me venire Nicopolim: ibi enim statui hiemare.
13 Bisili byfor sende Zenam, a wise man of lawe, and Apollo, that no thing faile to hem.
Zenam legisperitum, et Apollo solicite praemitte, ut nihil illis desit.
14 Thei that ben of ouris, lerne to be gouernouris in good werkis, to necessarie vsis, that thei be not with out fruyt.
Discant autem et nostri bonis operibus praeesse ad usus necessarios: ut non sint infructuosi.
15 Alle men that ben with me greeten thee wel. Grete thou wel hem, that louen vs in feith. The grace of God be with you alle. Amen.
Salutant te qui mecum sunt omnes: saluta eos, qui nos amant in fide. Gratia Dei cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
