1Put[G5279]them[G846] in mind[G5279]to[G4314]be[G1511]subject[G5293]to[G4314]principalities[G746]and[G2532]powers[G1849], to[G4314] obey magistrates[G3980], to[G4314]be[G1511]ready[G2092]to[G4314]every[G3956]good[G18]work[G2041],
2
To speak evil of[G987] no man[G3367], to be[G1511] no brawlers[G269], but gentle[G1933], shewing[G1731]all[G3956]meekness[G4236]unto[G4314]all[G3956]men[G444].
3For[G1063] we ourselves[G2249]also[G2532]were[G2258]sometimes[G4218]foolish[G453], disobedient[G545], deceived[G4105], serving[G1398]divers[G4164]lusts[G1939]and[G2532]pleasures[G2237], living[G1236]in[G1722]malice[G2549]and[G2532]envy[G5355], hateful[G4767], and[G2532]hating[G3404] one another[G240].
4But[G1161]after[G3753] that the kindness[G5544]and[G2532]love[G5363] of God[G2316]our[G2257]Saviour[G4990] toward man[G5363]appeared[G2014],
5Not[G3756]by[G1537]works[G2041]of[G1722]righteousness[G1343]which[G3739]we[G2249] have done[G4160], but[G235] according to[G2596]his[G846]mercy[G1656] he saved[G4982]us[G2248], by[G1223] the washing[G3067]of[G1722]regeneration[G3824], and[G2532]renewing[G342]of[G1722] the Holy[G40]Ghost[G4151];
6Which[G3739] he shed[G1632]on[G1909]us[G2248]abundantly[G4146]through[G1223]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]our[G2257]Saviour[G4990];
7That[G2443] being justified by[G1344]his[G1565]grace[G5485], we should be made[G1096]heirs[G2818] according to[G2596] the hope[G1680] of eternal[G166]life[G2222].

This is a faithful[G4103]saying[G3056], and[G2532] these things[G4012] I will[G1014]that[G2443]thou[G4571] affirm constantly[G1226], that[G2443] they which have believed[G4100] in God[G2316] might be careful[G5431] to maintain[G4291]good[G2570]works[G2041]. These things[G5130]are[G2076]good[G2570]and[G2532] profitable unto men[G444].
9But[G1161]avoid[G4026]foolish[G3474]questions[G2214], and[G2532]genealogies[G1076], and[G2532]contentions[G2054], and[G2532] strivings about[G3163] the law[G3544]; for[G1063] they are[G1526]unprofitable[G512]and[G2532]vain[G3152].

A man[G444] that is an heretick[G141]after[G3326] the first[G3391]and[G2532]second[G1208]admonition[G3559]reject[G3868];
11Knowing[G1492]that[G3754] he that[G3754] is such[G5108] is subverted[G1612], and[G2532]sinneth[G264], being[G5607] condemned of himself[G843].
12When[G3752] I shall send[G3992]Artemas[G734]unto[G4314]thee[G4571], or[G2228]Tychicus[G5190], be diligent[G4704]to[G1519]come[G2064]unto[G4314]me[G3165]to[G1519]Nicopolis[G3533]: for[G1063] I have determined[G2919]there[G1563]to[G1519]winter[G3914].
13Bring[G4311]Zenas[G2211] the lawyer[G3544]and[G2532]Apollos[G625] on their journey[G4311]diligently[G4709], that[G2443]nothing[G3367] be wanting[G3007] unto them[G846].
14And[G1161]let[G3129]ours[G2251]also[G2532]learn[G3129] to maintain[G4291]good[G2570]works[G2041]for[G1519]necessary[G316]uses[G5532], that[G3363] they be[G5600]not[G3363]unfruitful[G175].
15All[G3956] that are with[G3326]me[G1700]salute[G782]thee[G4571]. Greet[G782] them that love[G5368]us[G2248]in[G1722] the faith[G4102]. Grace[G5485] be with[G3326]you[G5216]all[G3956]. Amen[G281]. It was written[G1125]to[G4314]Titus[G5103], ordained[G5500] the first[G4413]bishop[G1985] of the church[G1577] of the Cretians[G2912], from[G575]Nicopolis[G3533] of Macedonia[G3109].
