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:

παυλοσ δουλοσ θεου αποστολοσ δε ιησου χριστου κατα πιστιν εκλεκτων θεου και επιγνωσιν αληθειασ τησ κατ ευσεβειαν

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

επ ελπιδι ζωησ αιωνιου ην επηγγειλατο ο αψευδησ θεοσ προ χρονων αιωνιων (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:

εφανερωσεν δε καιροισ ιδιοισ τον λογον αυτου εν κηρυγματι ο επιστευθην εγω κατ επιταγην του σωτηροσ ημων θεου

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

τιτω γνησιω τεκνω κατα κοινην πιστιν χαρισ ελεοσ ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ και κυριου ιησου χριστου του σωτηροσ ημων

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:

τουτου χαριν κατελιπον σε εν κρητη ινα τα λειποντα επιδιορθωση και καταστησησ κατα πολιν πρεσβυτερουσ ωσ εγω σοι διεταξαμην

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

ει τισ εστιν ανεγκλητοσ μιασ γυναικοσ ανηρ τεκνα εχων πιστα μη εν κατηγορια ασωτιασ η ανυποτακτα

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:

δει γαρ τον επισκοπον ανεγκλητον ειναι ωσ θεου οικονομον μη αυθαδη μη οργιλον μη παροινον μη πληκτην μη αισχροκερδη

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

αλλα φιλοξενον φιλαγαθον σωφρονα δικαιον οσιον εγκρατη

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.

αντεχομενον του κατα την διδαχην πιστου λογου ινα δυνατοσ η και παρακαλειν εν τη διδασκαλια τη υγιαινουση και τουσ αντιλεγοντασ ελεγχειν

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

εισιν γαρ πολλοι και ανυποτακτοι ματαιολογοι και φρεναπαται μαλιστα οι εκ περιτομησ

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

ουσ δει επιστομιζειν οιτινεσ ολουσ οικουσ ανατρεπουσιν διδασκοντεσ α μη δει αισχρου κερδουσ χαριν

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

ειπεν τισ εξ αυτων ιδιοσ αυτων προφητησ κρητεσ αει ψευσται κακα θηρια γαστερεσ αργαι

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

η μαρτυρια αυτη εστιν αληθησ δι ην αιτιαν ελεγχε αυτουσ αποτομωσ ινα υγιαινωσιν εν τη πιστει

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

μη προσεχοντεσ ιουδαικοισ μυθοισ και εντολαισ ανθρωπων αποστρεφομενων την αληθειαν

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.

παντα μεν καθαρα τοισ καθαροισ τοισ δε μεμιασμενοισ και απιστοισ ουδεν καθαρον αλλα μεμιανται αυτων και ο νουσ και η συνειδησισ

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

θεον ομολογουσιν ειδεναι τοισ δε εργοισ αρνουνται βδελυκτοι οντεσ και απειθεισ και προσ παν εργον αγαθον αδοκιμοι
