Titus 3

1 do remind them to rulers (and *k) to authorities to be subject, to be obedient, for every work good ready to be,

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

2 no one to denigrate, peaceable to be, gentle, all showing humility toward all men.

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

3 Were for once also we ourselves foolish, disobedient, being deceived, serving lusts and pleasures various, in malice and envy living, hateful, hating one another.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

4 When however the kindness and the love of mankind appeared of the Savior of us God,

But after that the kindness and love of YHWH our Saviour toward man appeared,

5 not by works in righteousness (that *N+kO) did we ourselves, but according to His (mercy *N+kO) He saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewing of [the] Spirit Holy

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Set-apart Spirit;

6 whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ the Savior of us,

Which he shed on us abundantly through Yahushua the Messiah our Saviour;

7 so that having been justified by that grace heirs (we may become *N+kO) according to [the] hope of life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

That being justified by his Favour, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

8 Trustworthy [is] the saying, and concerning these things I want you to affirm strongly so that may take care to good works to be devoted those already believing in God; These things are excellent and profitable to men.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in YHWH might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

9 Foolish however controversies and genealogies and (arguments *NK+O) and quarrels about [the] Law do yourself avoid; they are for unprofitable and worthless.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10 A factious man after one and a second admonition do reject

A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

11 knowing that has been corrupt such a man and is sinning being self-condemned.

Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

12 When I may send Artemas to you or Tychicus, do be diligent to come to me into Nicopolis; there for I have decided to winter.

When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

13 Zenas the lawyer and Apollos earnestly do equip, so that nothing to them may be lacking.

Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

14 should learn now also our own [people] to good works to devote themselves for necessary needs, so that not they may be unfruitful.

And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

15 Greet you those with me all. do greet those loving us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with all of you (Amen. *KO) (to Titus of the Cretan church first overseer having been chosen It was written from Nicopolis of Macedonia. *K)

All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Favour be with you all.
