Lettera a Tito - Titus 3

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Υπενθυμιζε αυτους να υποτασσωνται εις τας αρχας και εξουσιας, να πειθαρχωσι, να ηναι ετοιμοι εις παν εργον αγαθον,	1 Admonish them to be subordinate to the rulers and authorities, to obey their dictates, to be prepared for every good work,
2 να μη βλασφημωσι μηδενα, να ηναι αμαχοι, συμβιβαστικοι, να δεικνυωσι προς παντας ανθρωπους πασαν πραοτητα.	2 to speak evil of no one, not to be litigious, but to be reserved, displaying all meekness toward all men.
3 Διοτι ημεθα ποτε και ημεις ανοητοι, απειθεις, πλανωμενοι, δουλευοντες εις διαφορους επιθυμιας και ηδονας, ζωντες εν κακια και φθονω, μισητοι και μισουντες αλληλους.	3 For, in times past, we ourselves were also unwise, unbelieving, erring, servants of various desires and pleasures, acting with malice and envy, being hateful and hating one another.
4 Αλλ' οτε εφανερωθη η χρηστοτης και η φιλανθρωπια του Σωτηρος ημων Θεου,	4 But then the kindness and humanity of God our Savior appeared.
5 ουχι εξ εργων δικαιοσυνης τα οποια επραξαμεν ημεις, αλλα κατα το ελεος αυτου εσωσεν ημας δια λουτρου παλιγγενεσιας και ανακαινισεως του Αγιου Πνευματος,	5 And he saved us, not by works of justice that we had done, but, in accord with his mercy, by the washing of regeneration and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit,
6 το οποιον εξεχεε πλουσιως εφ' ημας δια Ιησου Χριστου του Σωτηρος ημων,	6 whom he has poured out upon us in abundance, through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 ινα δικαιωθεντες δια της χαριτος εκεινου, γεινωμεν κληρονομοι κατα την ελπιδα της αιωνιου ζωης.	7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 Πιστος ο λογος, και θελω ταυτα να διαβεβαιοις, δια να φροντιζωσιν οι πιστευσαντες εις τον Θεον να προιστανται καλων εργων. Ταυτα ειναι τα καλα και ωφελιμα εις τους ανθρωπους?	8 This is a faithful saying. And I want you to confirm these things, so that those who believe in God may take care to excel in good works. These things are good and useful to men.
9 μωρας δε φιλονεικιας και γενεαλογιας και εριδας και μαχας νομικας φευγε, διοτι ειναι ανωφελεις και ματαιαι.	9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, as well as arguments against the law. For these are useless and empty.
10 Αιρετικον ανθρωπον μετα μιαν και δευτεραν νουθεσιαν παραιτου,	10 Avoid a man who is a heretic, after the first and second correction,
11 εξευρων οτι διεφθαρη ο τοιουτος και αμαρτανει, ων αυτοκατακριτος.	11 knowing that one who is like this has been subverted, and that he offends; for he has been condemned by his own judgment.
12 Οταν πεμψω προς σε τον Αρτεμαν η τον Τυχικον, σπουδασον να ελθης προς με εις Νικοπολιν? διοτι εκει απεφασισα να παραχειμασω.	12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, hurry to return to me at Nicopolis. For I have decided to winter there.
13 Ζηναν τον νομικον και τον Απολλω προπεμψον επιμελως, δια να μη λειπη εις αυτους μηδεν.	13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollo ahead with care, and let nothing be lacking to them.
14 Ας μανθανωσι δε και οι ημετεροι να προιστανται καλων εργων εις τας αναγκαιας χρειας, δια να μη ηναι ακαρποι.	14 But let our men also learn to excel in good works pertaining to the necessities of life, so that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Ασπαζονται σε παντες οι μετ' εμου? ασπασθητι τους αγαπωντας ημας εν πιστει. Η χαρις ειη μετα παντων υμων. Αμην.	15 All those who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. May the grace of God be with you all. Amen.
