Titus 3

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 Remind them to be obedient to the officials in authority; to be ready to do good at every opportunity;	1 Υπενθυμιζε αυτους να υποτασσωνται εις τας αρχας και εξουσιας, να πειθαρχωσι, να ηναι ετοιμοι εις παν εργον αγαθον,
2 not to go slandering other people but to be peaceable and gentle, and always polite to people of al kinds.	2 να μη βλασφημωσι μηδενα, να ηναι αμαχοι, συμβιβαστικοι, να δεικνυωσι προς παντας ανθρωπους πασαν πραοτητα.
3 There was a time when we too were ignorant, disobedient and misled and enslaved by different passionsand dissipations; we lived then in wickedness and malice, hating each other and hateful ourselves.	3 Διοτι ημεθα ποτε και ημεις ανοητοι, απειθεις, πλανωμενοι, δουλευοντες εις διαφορους επιθυμιας και ηδονας, ζωντες εν κακια και φθονω, μισητοι και μισουντες αλληλους.
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour for humanity were revealed,	4 Αλλ' οτε εφανερωθη η χρηστοτης και η φιλανθρωπια του Σωτηρος ημων Θεου,
5 it was not because of any upright actions we had done ourselves; it was for no reason except his ownfaithful love that he saved us, by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and renewal in the Holy Spirit	5 ουχι εξ εργων δικαιοσυνης τα οποια επραξαμεν ημεις, αλλα κατα το ελεος αυτου εσωσεν ημας δια λουτρου παλιγγενεσιας και ανακαινισεως του Αγιου Πνευματος,
6 which he has so generously poured over us through Jesus Christ our Saviour;	6 το οποιον εξεχεε πλουσιως εφ' ημας δια Ιησου Χριστου του Σωτηρος ημων,
7 so that, justified by his grace, we should become heirs in hope of eternal life.	7 ινα δικαιωθεντες δια της χαριτος εκεινου, γεινωμεν κληρονομοι κατα την ελπιδα της αιωνιου ζωης.
8 This is doctrine that you can rely on. I want you to be quite uncompromising in teaching all this, so thatthose who now believe in God may keep their minds constantly occupied in doing good works. Al this is good,and useful for everybody.	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?
9 But avoid foolish speculations, and those genealogies, and the quibbles and disputes about the Law --they are useless and futile.	9 μωρας δε φιλονεικιας και γενεαλογιας και εριδας και μαχας νομικας φευγε, διοτι ειναι ανωφελεις και ματαιαι.
10 If someone disputes what you teach, then after a first and a second warning, have no more to do withhim:	10 Αιρετικον ανθρωπον μετα μιαν και δευτεραν νουθεσιαν παραιτου,
11 you wil know that anyone of that sort is warped and is self-condemned as a sinner.	11 εξευρων οτι διεφθαρη ο τοιουτος και αμαρτανει, ων αυτοκατακριτος.
12 As soon as I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to join me at Nicopolis, where I havedecided to spend the winter.	12 Οταν πεμψω προς σε τον Αρτεμαν η τον Τυχικον, σπουδασον να ελθης προς με εις Νικοπολιν? διοτι εκει απεφασισα να παραχειμασω.
13 Help eagerly on their way Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, and make sure they have everything theyneed.	13 Ζηναν τον νομικον και τον Απολλω προπεμψον επιμελως, δια να μη λειπη εις αυτους μηδεν.
14 Al our people must also learn to occupy themselves in doing good works for their practical needs, andnot to be unproductive.	14 Ας μανθανωσι δε και οι ημετεροι να προιστανται καλων εργων εις τας αναγκαιας χρειας, δια να μη ηναι ακαρποι.
15 Al those who are with me send their greetings. Greetings to those who love us in the faith. Grace bewith you all.	15 Ασπαζονται σε παντες οι μετ' εμου? ασπασθητι τους αγαπωντας ημας εν πιστει. Η χαρις ειη μετα παντων υμων. Αμην.
