Titus 1
1 PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
παυλοσ δουλοσ θεου αποστολοσ δε ιησου χριστου κατα πιστιν εκλεκτων θεου και επιγνωσιν αληθειασ τησ κατ ευσεβειαν
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (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 through preaching, which is committed unto 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, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ 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 left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had 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 blameless, 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 blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
δει γαρ τον επισκοπον ανεγκλητον ειναι ωσ θεου οικονομον μη αυθαδη μη οργιλον μη παροινον μη πληκτην μη αισχροκερδη
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
αλλα φιλοξενον φιλαγαθον σωφρονα δικαιον οσιον εγκρατη
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort 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 many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
εισιν γαρ πολλοι και ανυποτακτοι ματαιολογοι και φρεναπαται μαλιστα οι εκ περιτομησ
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, 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 themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
ειπεν τισ εξ αυτων ιδιοσ αυτων προφητησ κρητεσ αει ψευσται κακα θηρια γαστερεσ αργαι
13 This witness 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, that turn from the truth.
μη προσεχοντεσ ιουδαικοισ μυθοισ και εντολαισ ανθρωπων αποστρεφομενων την αληθειαν
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is 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 works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
θεον ομολογουσιν ειδεναι τοισ δε εργοισ αρνουνται βδελυκτοι οντεσ και απειθεισ και προσ παν εργον αγαθον αδοκιμοι
