Titus 3

Authored by: American Standard Version
3:1
Υπομιμνησκε αυτους αρχαις εξουσιαις υποτασσεσθαι πειθαρχειν προς παν εργον αγαθον ετοιμους ειναι
Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work,
3:2
μηδενα βλασφημειν αμαχους ειναι επιεικεις πασαν ενδεικνυμενους πραυτητα προς παντας ανθρωπους
to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.
3:3
Ημεν γαρ ποτε και ημεις ανοητοι απειθεις πλανωμενοι δουλευοντες επιθυμιαις και ηδοναις ποικιλαις εν κακια και φθονω διαγοντες στυγητοι μισουντες αλληλους
For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
3:4
Οτε δε η χρηστοτης και η φιλανθρωπια επεφανη του Σωτηρος ημων Θεου
But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,
3:5
ουκ εξ εργων των εν δικαιοσυνη α εποιησαμεν ημεις αλλα κατα το αυτου ελεος εσωσεν ημας δια λουτρου παλινγενεσιας και ανακαινωσεως Πνευματος Αγιου
not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
1
3:6
ου εξεχεεν εφ ημας πλουσιως δια Ιησου Χριστου του Σωτηρος ημων
which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
3:7
ινα δικαιωθεντες τη εκεινου χαριτι κληρονομοι γενηθωμεν κατ ελπιδα ζωης αιωνιου
that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
3:8
Πιστος ο λογος και περι τουτων βουλομαι σε διαβεβαιουσθαι ινα φροντιζωσιν καλων εργων προιστασθαι οι πεπιστευκοτες Θεω ταυτα εστιν καλα και ωφελιμα τοις ανθρωποις
Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:
3:9
Μωρας δε ζητησεις και γενεαλογιας και ερεις και μαχας νομικας περιιστασο εισιν γαρ ανωφελεις και ματαιοι
but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
3:10
αιρετικον ανθρωπον μετα μιαν και δευτεραν νουθεσιαν παραιτου
A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse;
3:11
ειδως οτι εξεστραπται ο τοιουτος και αμαρτανει ων αυτοκατακριτος
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
3:12
Οταν πεμψω Αρτεμαν προς σε η Τυχικον σπουδασον ελθειν προς με εις Νικοπολιν εκει γαρ κεκρικα παραχειμασαι
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.
3:13
Ζηναν τον νομικον και Απολλων σπουδαιως προπεμψον ινα μηδεν αυτοις λειπη
Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
3:14
μανθανετωσαν δε και οι ημετεροι καλων εργων προιστασθαι εις τας αναγκαιας χρειας ινα μη ωσιν ακαρποι
And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
3:15
Ασπαζονται σε οι μετ εμου παντες Ασπασαι τους φιλουντας ημας εν πιστει Η χαρις μετα παντων υμων
All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
