Προς Τιτον 1
1 παυλος δουλος θεου αποστολος δε ιησου χριστου κατα πιστιν εκλεκτων θεου και επιγνωσιν αληθειας της κατ ευσεβειαν
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is according to godliness;
In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
3 εφανερωσεν δε καιροις ιδιοις τον λογον αυτου εν κηρυγματι ο επιστευθην εγω κατ επιταγην του σωτηρος ημων θεου
But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
4 τιτω γνησιω τεκνω κατα κοινην πιστιν χαρις ελεος ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ιησου χριστου του σωτηρος ημων
To Titus, [my] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 τουτου χαριν κατελιπον σε εν κρητη ινα τα λειποντα επιδιορθωση και καταστησης κατα πολιν πρεσβυτερους ως εγω σοι διεταξαμην
For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 ει τις εστιν ανεγκλητος μιας γυναικος ανηρ τεκνα εχων πιστα μη εν κατηγορια ασωτιας η ανυποτακτα
If any is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or disorderly.
7 δει γαρ τον επισκοπον ανεγκλητον ειναι ως θεου οικονομον μη αυθαδη μη οργιλον μη παροινον μη πληκτην μη αισχροκερδη
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8 αλλα φιλοξενον φιλαγαθον σωφρονα δικαιον οσιον εγκρατη
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9 αντεχομενον του κατα την διδαχην πιστου λογου ινα δυνατος η και παρακαλειν εν τη διδασκαλια τη υγιαινουση και τους αντιλεγοντας ελεγχειν
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10 εισιν γαρ πολλοι και ανυποτακτοι ματαιολογοι και φρεναπαται μαλιστα οι εκ περιτομης
For there are many disorderly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 ους δει επιστομιζειν οιτινες ολους οικους ανατρεπουσιν διδασκοντες α μη δει αισχρου κερδους χαριν
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.
12 ειπεν τις εξ αυτων ιδιος αυτων προφητης κρητες αει ψευσται κακα θηρια γαστερες αργαι
One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 η μαρτυρια αυτη εστιν αληθης δι ην αιτιαν ελεγχε αυτους αποτομως ινα υγιαινωσιν εν τη πιστει
This testimony is true: wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 μη προσεχοντες ιουδαικοις μυθοις και εντολαις ανθρωπων αποστρεφομενων την αληθειαν
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn from the truth.
15 παντα μεν καθαρα τοις καθαροις τοις δε μεμιασμενοις και απιστοις ουδεν καθαρον αλλα μεμιανται αυτων και ο νους και η συνειδησις
To the pure all things [are] pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 θεον ομολογουσιν ειδεναι τοις δε εργοις αρνουνται βδελυκτοι οντες και απειθεις και προς παν εργον αγαθον αδοκιμοι
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
