Titus 3
1 Remind them to follow what rulers tell them to do, and to obey authorities. They should always be ready to do what is good.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲉⲣ̅ⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ.
2 They should not speak badly about anyone, and they should not be argumentative. Tell them to show gentleness and kindness to everyone.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲉⲙⲉⲩⲙⲓϣⲉ. ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲕ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ.
3 For there was a time when we too were foolish and disobedient. We were deceived and slaves to various desires and pleasures. We lived wicked lives full of jealousy, hateful people hating one another.
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲉⲛⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ. ⲉⲛⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲩⲇⲟⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲃⲉ. ⲉⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲫⲑⲟⲛⲟⲥ. ⲉⲛⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ. ⲉⲛⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
4 But when the goodness and love of God our Savior was revealed, he saved us,
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
5 not because of anything good that we've done, but because of his mercy. He did this through the cleansing of rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
ⲉ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲁⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥⲛⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕⲙ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϫⲡⲟ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
6 which he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲁϩⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
7 Now that we are set right by his grace we have become heirs having the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

8 You can trust what I'm saying, and I want you to emphasize these instructions so that those who trust in God will think seriously about them and continue to do good. They are excellent and helpful for everyone.

9 Avoid pointless discussions, and obsessions about ancestry. Don't get into arguments, and avoid fights over the Jewish laws—they're useless and don't help at all.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟϭ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲓϣϫⲱⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲓϯⲧⲱⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲁϩⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϯϩⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ.
10 Warn someone who is divisive once, and then again—after that don't pay them any attention,
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩϩⲉⲣⲁⲓⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ. ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
11 realizing that they're perverse and sinful and have condemned themselves.

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, try and come to me at Nicopolis because I'm planning to spend the winter there.

13 Do all you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way so that they have everything they need.

14 May our people learn the habit of doing good in providing for the daily needs of others. They need to be productive!

15 Everyone here with me sends their greetings. Give our best wishes to those who love us, those who trust in God. May grace be with you all.
