\subsection{Titus 1}
|
|
\VS{1} Paul, [a] slave of God, apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's
|
|
chosen, and the knowledge of the truth [which is] according to piety,
|
|
\VS{2} in hope of eternal zoe-life\fnZoe{}, which the non-liar God promised before
|
|
the eternal ages,
|
|
\VS{3} but manifested in its own opportune-times\fnKairos{} his word in proclamation, with which I was entrusted according to the command of God our savior,
|
|
\VS{4} to Titus true child according to [the] shared belief,
|
|
grace and peace from God our father and Christ Jesus our savior.
|
|
|
|
\VS{5} Because of this I left you in Crete, in order that you set aright the
|
|
[things] lacking, and appoint elders in every city,
|
|
\VS{6} if any is blameless, husband of one wife, having believing children,
|
|
not accused of debauchery or unruly.
|
|
\VS{7} For the overseer must be blameless as God's administrator,
|
|
not stubborn, not quick-tempered, not [a] wino, not belligerent, not
|
|
fond-of-dishonest gain,
|
|
\VS{8} but [a] philia-lover of hospitality, [a]
|
|
philia-lover of good, [who is] prudent, just, approved, self-controlled,
|
|
\VS{9} holding fast the trustworthy word according to the teaching, in order that
|
|
he be able by sound teaching both to be exhorting and to be refuting those
|
|
opposing.
|
|
\VS{10} For there are many rebellious, futile talkers and
|
|
deceivers, especially those from the circumcision,
|
|
\VS{11} whose mouths must
|
|
be being stopped, who turn aside entire houses, saying what they must not
|
|
for the sake of shameful gain.
|
|
\VS{12} One of them, their own prophet, said:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellys\footnote{i.e. ``gluttons''}.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{13} This testimony is true. For this reason be rebuking them sharply, in
|
|
order that they be sound in belief,
|
|
\VS{14} not giving heed to Jewish myths
|
|
and commandments of men who turn aside from truth.
|
|
\VS{15} Everything [is] pure
|
|
to the pure, but to the defiled and non-believing nothing is pure, but both
|
|
their mind and conscience are defiled.
|
|
\VS{16} They confess they know God,
|
|
but they deny [him] in works, being detestable and disobedient and disqualified
|
|
for every good work.
