PutG5279 them in mindG5279 to be subjectG5293 to principalitiesG746 and powers,G1849 to obeyG3980 magistrates,G3980 to be readyG2092 to everyG3956 goodG18 work,G2041
2
To speakG987 evilG987 of noG3367 man,G3367 to be noG269 brawlers,G269 but gentle,G1933 showingG1731 allG3956 meeknessG4236 to allG3956 men.G444

For we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 were sometimesG4218 foolish,G453 disobedient,G545 deceived,G4105 servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 and pleasures,G2237 livingG1236 in maliceG2549 and envy,G5355 hateful,G4767 and hatingG3404 oneG240 another.G240

But afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 and loveG5363 of GodG2316 our SaviorG4990 toward man appeared,G2014
5
Not by worksG2041 of righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 we have done,G4160 but accordingG2596 to his mercyG1656 he savedG4982 us, by the washingG3067 of regeneration,G3824 and renewingG342 of the HolyG40 Ghost;G4151
6
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 us abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our Savior;G4990
7
That being justifiedG1344 by his grace,G5485 we should be madeG1096 heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to the hopeG1680 of eternalG166 life.G2222

ThisG3588 is a faithfulG4103 saying,G3056 and theseG5130 things I willG1014 that you affirmG1226 constantly,G1226 that they which have believedG4100 in GodG2316 might be carefulG5431 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 works.G2041 TheseG5023 things are goodG2570 and profitableG5624 to men.G444
9
But avoidG4026 foolishG3474 questions,G2214 and genealogies,G1076 and contentions,G2054 and strivingsG3163 aboutG3163 the law;G3544 for they are unprofitableG512 and vain.G3152

A manG444 that is an hereticG141 afterG3326 the firstG3391 and secondG1208 admonitionG3559 reject;G3868
11
KnowingG1492 that he that is suchG5108 is subverted,G1612 and sins,G264 beingG5607 condemnedG843 of himself.G848

WhenG3752 I shall sendG3992 ArtemasG734 to you, orG2228 Tychicus,G5190 be diligentG4704 to comeG2064 to me to Nicopolis:G3533 for I have determinedG2919 thereG1563 to winter.G3914
13
BringG4311 ZenasG2211 the lawyerG3544 and ApollosG625 on their journey diligently,G4709 that nothingG3367 be wantingG3007 to them.
14
And let our'sG2251 alsoG2532 learnG3129 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041 for necessaryG316 uses,G5532 that they be not unfruitful.G175

AllG3956 that are with me saluteG782 you. GreetG782 them that loveG5368 us in the faith.G4102 GraceG5485 be with you all.G3956 Amen.G281 It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.
