1Put <5279> (0) them <846> in mind <5279> (5720) to be subject <5293> (5733) to principalities <746> and <2532> powers <1849>_, to obey magistrates <3980> (5721)_, to be <1511> (5750) ready <2092> to <4314> every <3956> good <18> work <2041>_,
2To speak evil of <987> (5721) no man <3367>_, to be <1511> (5750) no brawlers <269>_, [but] gentle <1933>_, shewing <1731> (5734) all <3956> meekness <4236> unto <4314> all <3956> men <444>_.
3For <1063> we ourselves <2249> also <2532> were <2258> (5713) <453> (0) sometimes <4218> foolish <453>_, disobedient <545>_, deceived <4105> (5746)_, serving <1398> (5723) divers <4164> lusts <1939> and <2532> pleasures <2237>_, living <1236> (5723) in <1722> malice <2549> and <2532> envy <5355>_, hateful <4767>_, [and] hating <3404> (5723) one another <240>_.
4But <1161> after <3753> that the kindness <5544> and <2532> love <5363> (0) of God <2316> our <2257> Saviour <4990> toward man <5363> appeared <2014> (5648)_, {love: or, pity}
5Not <3756> by <1537> works <2041> of <1722> righteousness <1343> which <3739> we <2249> have done <4160> (5656)_, but <235> according to <2596> his <846> mercy <1656> he saved <4982> (5656) us <2248>_, by <1223> the washing <3067> of regeneration <3824>_, and <2532> renewing <342> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>_;
6Which <3739> he shed <1632> (5656) on <1909> us <2248> abundantly <4146> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our <2257> Saviour <4990>_; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
7That <2443> being justified by <1344> (5685) his <1565> grace <5485>_, we should be made <1096> (5638) heirs <2818> according to <2596> the hope <1680> of eternal <166> life <2222>_.
8[This is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056>_, and <2532> these things <4012> <5130> I will <1014> (5736) that thou <4571> affirm constantly <1226> (5738)_, that <2443> they which have believed <4100> (5761) in God <2316> might be careful <5431> (5725) to maintain <4291> (5733) good <2570> works <2041>_. These things <5023> are <2076> (5748) good <2570> and <2532> profitable <5624> unto men <444>_.
9But <1161> avoid <4026> (5732) foolish <3474> questions <2214>_, and <2532> genealogies <1076>_, and <2532> contentions <2054>_, and <2532> strivings about <3163> the law <3544>_; for <1063> they are <1526> (5748) unprofitable <512> and <2532> vain <3152>_.
10A man <444> that is an heretick <141> after <3326> the first <3391> and <2532> second <1208> admonition <3559> reject <3868> (5737)_;
11Knowing <1492> (5761) that <3754> he that is such <5108> is subverted <1612> (5769)_, and <2532> sinneth <264> (5719)_, being <5607> (5752) condemned of himself <843>_.
12When <3752> I shall send <3992> (5692) Artemas <734> unto <4314> thee <4571>_, or <2228> Tychicus <5190>_, be diligent <4704> (5657) to come <2064> (5629) unto <4314> me <3165> to <1519> Nicopolis <3533>_: for <1063> I have determined <2919> (5758) there <1563> to winter <3914> (5658)_.
13Bring <4311> (0) Zenas <2211> the lawyer <3544> and <2532> Apollos <625> on their journey <4311> (5657) diligently <4709>_, that <2443> nothing <3367> be wanting <3007> (5725) unto them <846>_.
14And <1161> let <3129> (0) ours <2251> also <2532> learn <3129> (5720) to maintain <4291> (5733) good <2570> works <2041> for <1519> necessary <316> uses <5532>_, that <3363> (0) they be <5600> (5753) not <3363> unfruitful <175>_. {maintain...: or, profess honest trades}
15All <3956> that are with <3326> me <1700> salute <782> (5736) thee <4571>_. Greet <782> (5663) them that love <5368> (5723) us <2248> in <1722> the faith <4102>_. Grace <5485> [be] with <3326> you <5216> all <3956>_. Amen <281>_. <<[It was written <1125> (5648) to <4314> Titus <5103>_, ordained <5500> (5685) the first <4413> bishop <1985> of the church <1577> of the Cretians <2912>_, from <575> Nicopolis <3533> of Macedonia <3109>.]>>
