Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,

in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. (aiōnios g166)

The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed 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.
An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
7 Vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv gvrja kudungkua nga rigvdogvnv um kaayadubv klu lokv jilwk dunv, hv rimur nam kaama rungdubv rirungtoka. Hv vdwloka kaimvngsu vmalo biokyibiokcha nvgobv, vmalo tvngkium nvgobv, vmalo tvngngur nvgobv vmalo, morko lvgabv nyilin nvgobv rimare.
As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
8 Hv nyen chigamrainv nvgobv okv ogugonv alvpvdw um paknv gobv rirungtoka. Hv saktv nvbv, alv nvbv, darwk nvbv, okv kachingkamu sunv gobv ritoka.
Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.

He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.
10 Ogulvgavbolo ho hoka achialvgo, asarjvbv bunugv kvbi nyiposoyo vdwa kupnv okv turmilarmi sinv, judaism lokv aanv vdwv rito.
For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those 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.
who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
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.
As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will 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.
and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected 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.
To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
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 profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
