1Put5279 them846 in mind5279 to be subject5293 to principalities746 and2532 powers1849, to obey magistrates3980, to be1511 ready2092 to4314 every3956 good18 work2041,
2To speak evil of987 no man3367, to be1511 no brawlers269, but gentle1933, shewing1731 all3956 meekness4236 unto4314 all3956 men444.
3For1063 we ourselves2249 also2532 were2258 453 sometimes4218 foolish453, disobedient545, deceived4105, serving1398 divers4164 lusts1939 and2532 pleasures2237, living1236 in1722 malice2549 and2532 envy5355, hateful4767, and hating3404 one another240.
4But1161 after3753 that the kindness5544 and2532 love5363 of God2316 our2257 Saviour4990 toward man5363 appeared2014,
5Not3756 by1537 works2041 of1722 righteousness1343 which3739 we2249 have done4160, but235 according to2596 his846 mercy1656 he saved4982 us2248, by1223 the washing3067 of regeneration3824, and2532 renewing342 of the Holy40 Ghost4151;
6Which3739 he shed1632 on1909 us2248 abundantly4146 through1223 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our2257 Saviour4990;
7That2443 being justified by1344 his1565 grace5485, we should be made1096 heirs2818 according to2596 the hope1680 of eternal166 life2222.
8This is a faithful4103 saying3056, and2532 these things4012 5130 I will1014 that thou4571 affirm constantly1226, that2443 they which have believed4100 in God2316 might be careful5431 to maintain4291 good2570 works2041. These things5023 are2076 good2570 and2532 profitable5624 unto men444.
9But1161 avoid4026 foolish3474 questions2214, and2532 genealogies1076, and2532 contentions2054, and2532 strivings about3163 the law3544; for1063 they are1526 unprofitable512 and2532 vain3152.
10A man444 that is an heretick141 after3326 the first3391 and2532 second1208 admonition3559 reject3868;
11Knowing1492 that3754 he that is such5108 is subverted1612, and2532 sinneth264, being5607 condemned of himself843.
12When3752 I shall send3992 Artemas734 unto4314 thee4571, or2228 Tychicus5190, be diligent4704 to come2064 unto4314 me3165 to1519 Nicopolis3533: for1063 I have determined2919 there1563 to winter3914.
13Bring4311 Zenas2211 the lawyer3544 and2532 Apollos625 on their journey4311 diligently4709, that2443 nothing3367 be wanting3007 unto them846.
14And1161 let3129 ours2251 also2532 learn3129 to maintain4291 good2570 works2041 for1519 necessary316 uses5532, that3363 they be5600 not3363 unfruitful175.
15All3956 that are with3326 me1700 salute782 thee4571. Greet782 them that love5368 us2248 in1722 the faith4102. Grace5485 be with3326 you5216 all3956. Amen281. 1125 to4314 Titus5103, ordained5500 the first4413 bishop1985 of the church1577 of the Cretians2912, from575 Nicopolis3533 of Macedonia3109.
