Titus 1

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:

PAULOS, a servant of Aloha, and apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, for the faith of the chosen ones of Aloha, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of Aloha;

2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)

unto the hope of eternal life, which Aloha the true counselled before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)

3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:

and his word hath revealed in his time by our preaching, which was confided to me by the command of Aloha our Saviour:

4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.

To Titos, my true son in the common faith. Grace and peace from Aloha the Father and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour.

5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:

For this I left thee in Kreta, that those things which were wanting thou mayest rectify, and constitute presbyters in every city as I commanded thee.

6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.

Him who is without blame, and is the husband of one wife, and who hath believing children, who are not vicious nor addicted to intemperance.

7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:

For a presbyter is bound to be without blame, as the steward of Aloha; he shall not be led by the will of self, nor be irascible, nor a transgressor over wine, neither shall his hand be hasty to strike, nor shall he be a lover of sordid gains.

8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:

But he shall be a lover of guests, and a lover of the good, and be chaste, and equitable, and holy, and withholding himself from lusts;

9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.

and careful over the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able also to comfort by his teaching the healthy, and to reprove those who are contentious.

10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:

For there are many who are not in subjection, and whose words are vain, and make the minds of men to err, especially those of the circumcision,

11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

those, whose mouths it behoves to stop. Many houses they destroy, and teach what they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain.

12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.

One of them, a prophet of their own, hath said, The sons of Kreta are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy bellies.

13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

And true is this testimony. Wherefore reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,

14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.

nor cast themselves to the fables of the Jihudoyee, and to the mandates of men who hate the truth.

15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

For every thing is pure to the pure; but to those who are polluted and unfaithful nothing is pure; but their understanding and their conscience are polluted.

16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.

And they profess to know Aloha, but in their works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and reprobate to every good work.
