Note: This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
Note: This Literal Version is a somewhat technical translation designed to give the English reader a window into what's actually written in the original languages. (See the introduction for more details—we recommend that you read the introduction first if you're wanting to read and understand this Literal Version.) For nice, modern, readable English you should look at the (forthcoming) Readers' Version. (Between the two versions, you should also be able to get an idea about how Bible Translation actually works. You can also compare your other favourite Bible translations with this Literal Version to get more insight into how they also interpreted the original texts in crafting their translation.)
Titos
It is our prayer that this Literal Version of the Open English Translation of the Bible will give you fresh insight into the words of the inspired Biblical writers.
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 which 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.
↑ 2 But you be_speaking the things it_is_befitting which to_being_sound teaching.
2 The_older_men to_be sober, dignified, sensible, being_sound the in_faith, the in_love, the in_endurance.
3 The_older_women likewise reverent in behavior, not diabolical, not having_been_enslaved to_ much _wine, good_teaching, 4 in_order_that they_are_making_ the new women _sensible to_be husband-loving, children-loving, 5 sensible, pure, homemakers, good, being_subjected to_their own husbands, in_order_that the message of_ the _god may_ not _be_being_slandered.
6 The younger men likewise be_exhorting to_be_being_sensible, 7 about all things yourself bringing_about an_example of_good works, in your teaching, incorruption, dignity, 8 healthy speech, irreproachable, in_order_that the man of contrary may_be_swayed, having nothing bad to_be_saying concerning us.
9 Slaves to_be_being_subjected to_^their_own masters in all things, to_be well_pleasing, not speaking_against, 10 not embezzling, but displaying all good faith, in_order_that in all things they_may_be_adorning the teaching which of_the saviour of_us, god.
11 For/Because the grace of_ the _god has_appeared, salvation to_all people, 12 instructing us that having_disowned the ungodliness and the worldly lusts, we_may_live sensibly and justly and devoutly in the present age, 13 waiting_for the blessed hope, and the_appearing of_the glory of_the great god and saviour of_us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), chosen_one/messiah 14 who gave himself for us, in_order_that he_may_redeem us from all lawlessness, and may_purify to_himself a_people chosen, zealous of_good works.
15 Be_speaking these things, and be_exhorting, and be_rebuking, with all command.
let_ no_one of_you _be_disregarding.
↑ 3 Be_reminding them to_be_being_subjected to_rulers, to_authorities, to_be_yielding, to_be ready for every good work, 2 no_one to_be_slandering, to_be peaceable, gentle, all displaying gentleness toward all people.
3 For/Because once we also were foolish, unpersuadable, being_strayed, serving in_lusts and various gratifications, going_by in malice and envy, hateful, hating one_another.
4 But when the kindness and the love_of_mankind of_ god _the saviour of_us has_appeared, 5 not by works which in righteousness, that we practiced, but according_to the mercy, of_him he_saved us, through the_washing of_regeneration and renewal of_the_ holy _spirit, 6 whom he_poured_out on us richly, through Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah, the saviour of_us, 7 in_order_that having_been_justified by_the grace of_that one, we_may_be_become heirs, according_to the_hope of_ eternal _life.
8 Trustworthy is the saying, and I_am_wishing you to_be_confirming concerning these things: In_order_that the ones having_believed in_god may_be_caring to_be_leading of_good works.
These things is good and beneficial to_ the _people.
9 But be_avoiding foolish debates, and genealogies, and strifes, and legal quarrels, they_are for unprofitable and useless.

12 Whenever I_may_send Artemis or Tuⱪikos to you, be_earnest to_come to me into Nikopolis, because/for I_have_judged to_winter there.
13 Earnestly send_forward Zaʸnas the lawyer and Apollōs, in_order_that nothing may_be_lacking to_them.
14 And also let_ the our people _be_learning of_good works to_be_leading for the necessary needs, in_order_that they_may_ not _be unfruitful.
15 All the ones with me are_greeting you.
