1 Paulos, a_slave of_god, and an_ambassador of_Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, according _to the_faith of_the_chosen ones of_god, and knowledge of_the_truth, which is according _to devoutness,

2 in the_hope of _life eternal, which the unlying god promised before times eternal,

3 but revealed the message of _him in_ ^his_own _seasons in the_proclamation, which I was _entrusted according _to the_command of_god, the saviour of _us

4 to _Titos, ^my_genuine child, according _to ^our_common faith:
grace and peace from god the_father and chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous, the saviour of _us.

5 For/Because _reason _of this, I _left_ you _behind in Kraʸtaʸ, in _order _that you _may _set _in _order the things lacking, and may _appoint elders in ˓every˒_city as I directed to _you,

6 if anyone is unindictable, the_husband of _one wife, having believing children, not in accusation of _intemperance or insubordinate.

7 For/Because it _is _fitting the overseer to _be unindictable as a_manager of_god, not self-willed, not easily _angered, not winebibbing, not a_bully, not greedy,

8 but hospitable, a_lover _of _good, sensible, righteous, devout, self-controlled,

9 upholding of _the faithful message according _to the teaching, in _order _that he _may _be powerful both to _be _exhorting with the teaching which being _sound, and to _be _rebuking the ones speaking _against it.

10 For/Because many are insubordinate, useless _talkers, and deceivers, most _of _all the ones of the circumcision,

11 whom it _is _fitting to _be _silencing, who are _overturning whole households, teaching the things it _is_ not _fitting, for _reason _of shameful gain.

12 Someone said of them, an_own prophet of _them:
ones_from _Kraʸtaʸ always are liars, evil wild _beasts, idle bellies.

13 This The testimony is true.
For/Because that cause be _rebuking them severely, in _order _that they _may _be _being _sound in the faith,

14 not giving _heed to _Youdaiōns myths and the_commands of _humans turning _away the truth.

15 All things _are pure to _the pure, but to _the ones having _been _defiled and unbelievers, nothing is pure, but both the mind, and the conscience of _them has _been _defiled.

16 They _are _confessing to _have _known god, but by _their works they _are _disowning him, being detestable and unpersuadable, and unqualified for any good work.
