Titos (Titus) 3
3
1Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
2not to slander anyone, not to be quarrelsome, to be gentle, showing all meekness to all men.
3For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, led astray, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in evil and envy, being hated and hating one another.
4But when the kindness and the love of Elohim our Saviour toward man appeared,
5He saved us, not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His compassion, through the washing of rebirth, and renewal by the Set-apart Spirit,
6which He poured out on us richly through יהושע Messiah our Saviour,
7that having been declared right by His favour we should become heirs according to the expectation of everlasting life.
8Trustworthy is the word, and in this regard I wish you to strongly affirm, that those who have believed in Elohim should keep their minds on maintaining good works. This is good and profitable to men.
9But keep away from foolish questions, and genealogies, and strife and quarrels about the Torah, for they are unprofitable and useless.
10Reject a divisive man after the first and second warning,
11knowing that such a one has been perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12When I shall send Artemas to you, or Tuchikos, do your best to come to me at Nikopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
13Do your best to send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey, so that they lack none at all.
14And our brothers should also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, so that they shall not be without fruit.
15All those with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the belief. Favour be with you all. Amĕn.

Titus 3
3
1Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work, 2to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be mild, shewing all meekness towards all men. 3For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared, 5not on the principle of works which have been done in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8The word is faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10An heretical man after a first and second admonition have done with, 11knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned. 12When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there. 13Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them; 14and let ours also learn to apply themselves to good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful. 15All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
