For this reason, I left you behind in Crete: so that those things which are lacking, you would correct, and so that you would ordain, throughout the communities, priests, (just as I also ordained you)
6 Rigvdogv nvgobv ribolo oguguka rimur kaama rungnv gobv rirungdunv; vv nywng akin mvngchik nvgobv rirungtoka, okv vkvgv umvuu ngv mvngjwng nvgobv rirungtoka okv alvmanv yalungyachung amin gvnv gobv rirungmabvka okv tvvma nvgo bvka rirung mabvka.
if such a man is without offense, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of self-indulgence, nor of insubordination.

And a bishop, as a steward of God, must be without offense: not arrogant, not short-tempered, not a drunkard, not violent, not desiring tainted profit,
8 Hv nyen chigamrainv nvgobv okv ogugonv alvpvdw um paknv gobv rirungtoka. Hv saktv nvbv, alv nvbv, darwk nvbv, okv kachingkamu sunv gobv ritoka.
but instead: hospitable, kind, sober, just, holy, chaste,

embracing faithful speech which is in agreement with doctrine, so that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to argue against those who contradict.
10 Ogulvgavbolo ho hoka achialvgo, asarjvbv bunugv kvbi nyiposoyo vdwa kupnv okv turmilarmi sinv, judaism lokv aanv vdwv rito.
For there are, indeed, many who are disobedient, who speak empty words, and who deceive, especially those who are of the circumcision.
11 Bunugv mindunam sum mintor dukubv rirungdu, ogulvgavbolo bunu rima tvsv yanga rila bunugv tamsarnam lokv vpin dvdv nga mvngru mola riduku, okv hinyinghiru dubv rinam aka morkoain lvgabv bv rinya duku.
These must be reproved, for they subvert entire houses, teaching things which should not be taught, for the favor of shameful gain.
12 Vv ninyi atubongv kretan go, bunugv atubogv aralo nyijwk akobv rinvgo, vv soogv jvjvnv gaam sum mindu, “Kretan vdwv rukimvvki la ridu, alvmanv svnwngsvmin bv ridu, okv svpelakre la dvdwkdvyit nvbvka ridu.” So lvgabv no dinchirungbv bunua yamtoka, vkvlvgavbolo bunu gvlo mvngjwng ngv vngdwngnam lvgabv.
A certain one of these, a prophet of their own kind, said: “The Cretans are ever liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
This testimony is true. Because of this, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Okv kvvlogv jius vdwgv higuhirak okv nyia gamki lokv aanv oogv jvjv nga laarwk simu manv nyi gobv ridu.
not paying attention to Jewish fables, nor to the rules of men who have turned themselves away from the truth.
15 Bunu atubongv yvvdw darwk dunv ogumvnwng vka darwk dunv; vbvritola bunu yvvdw alvmadunv okv mvngjwng madunv oguguka vka darwk madunv, ogulvgavbolo bunugv mongramara okv mvngdw nvnv ngv darwk madu.
All things are clean to those who are clean. But to those who are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean; for both their mind and their conscience have been polluted.
16 Bunu vdwv mindu bunu Pwknvyarnvnyi chinpvnv vdu, vbvrijvka bunugv gwngdungridung lo rijwkmadu. Bunu kaanwng manamv okv tvvnwng manamv dodu, ogumvnwng alvnvngv ogu vdw um riyin manv ngv.
They claim that they know God. But, by their own works, they deny him, since they are abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate, toward every good work.
