Chapter 1
SHA’UL, a servant of Yah, and an emissary of Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah, according to the Emunah of Yah’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after mighty oneliness;
2 In hope of eternal life, which Yah, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
3 But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of Yah our Saviour;
4 To Titus, mine own son after the common Emunah: Chen, mercy, and peace, from Yah the Father and Adonay Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah our Saviour.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having emunahful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7 For a Overseer must be blameless, as the steward of Yah; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8 But a Chesedr of hospitality, a Chesedr of good men, sober, just, Set-Apart, temperate;
9 Holding fast the emunahful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound teaching both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
12 One of themselves, even a Spokesman of Yah of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the Emunah;
14 Not giving heed to Yahoodi’iyish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know Yah; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
CHAPTER 2
BUT speak thou the things which become sound teaching:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in Emunah, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as fitting Set-Apartness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to Chesed their husbands, to Chesed their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of Yah be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in teaching shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the teaching of Yah our Saviour in all things.
11 For the Chen of Yah that bringeth salvation has appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying unmighty oneliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and mighty onely, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great Yah and our Saviour Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
CHAPTER 3
PUT them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness to all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and Chesed of Yah our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Set-Apart Spirit;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his Chen, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a emunahful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in Yah might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself.
12 When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tuchikos, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting to them.
14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that Chesed us in the Emunah. Chen be with you all. Aměn.
