Titus 3 (WEBP)

[1] Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
[2] to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.
[3] For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
[4] But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
[5] not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
[6] whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
[7] that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
[8] This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
[9] but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
[10] Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,
[11] knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.
[12] When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
[13] Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
[14] Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
[15] All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Young’s Literal Translation

Titus 3 (YLT)

[1] Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,
[2] of no one to speak evil, not to be quarrelsome-gentle, showing all meekness to all men,
[3] for we were once-also we-thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious-hating one another;
[4] and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear
[5] (not by works that are in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
[6] which He poured upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
[7] that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during.
[8] Stedfast is the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works-who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,
[9] and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law, stand away from-for they are unprofitable and vain.
[10] A sectarian man, after a first and second admonition be rejecting,
[11] having known that he hath been subverted who is such, and doth sin, being self-condemned.
[12] When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis, for there to winter I have determined.
[13] Zenas the lawyer and Apollos bring diligently on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking,
[14] and let them learn-ours also-to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
[15] Salute thee do all those with me; salute those loving us in faith; the grace is with you all!
