Titus 3
1 Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,
Pvt them in remembrance that they bee subiect to the Principalities and powers, and that they bee obedient, and ready to euery good woorke,
2 of no one to speak evil, not to be quarrelsome — gentle, showing all meekness to all men,
That they speake euill of no man, that they be no fighters, but soft, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.
3 for we were once — also we — thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious — hating one another;
For wee our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing the lustes and diuers pleasures, liuing in maliciousnes and enuie, hatefull, and hating one another:
4 and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear
But when that bountifulnesse and that loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,
5 (not by works that [are] in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness, ) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Not by the woorkes of righteousnesse, which we had done, but according to his mercie he saued vs, by the washing of the newe birth, and the renewing of the holy Ghost,
6 which He poured upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
Which he shed on vs aboundantly, through Iesus Christ our Sauiour,
7 that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during. (aiōnios g166)
That we, being iustified by his grace, should be made heires according to the hope of eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Stedfast [is] the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works — who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,
This is a true saying, and these thinges I will thou shouldest affirme, that they which haue beleeued God, might be carefull to shewe foorth good woorkes. These things are good and profitable vnto men.
9 and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law, stand away from — for they are unprofitable and vain.
But stay foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and brawlings about the Lawe: for they are vnprofitable and vaine.
10 A sectarian man, after a first and second admonition be rejecting,
Reiect him that is an heretike, after once or twise admonition,
11 having known that he hath been subverted who [is] such, and doth sin, being self-condemned.
Knowing that hee that is such, is peruerted, and sinneth, being damned of his owne selfe.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis, for there to winter I have determined.
When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to mee vnto Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.
13 Zenas the lawyer and Apollos bring diligently on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking,
Bring Zenas the expounder of the Lawe, and Apollos on their iourney diligently, that they lacke nothing.
14 and let them learn — ours also — to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
And let ours also learne to shewe foorth good woorkes for necessary vses, that they be not vnfruitfull.
15 Salute thee do all those with me; salute those loving us in faith; the grace [is] with you all!
All that are with mee, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the faith. Grace bee with you all, Amen. ‘To Titus, elect the first bishoppe of the Church of the Cretians, written from Nicopolis in Macedonia.’
