Default Titus

Paul, a Servant, of Elohim, according to the believing, of the Choice Ones, of Elohim, and the Knowledge, of the Truth, that Leads to Godliness. A believing, and Knowledge, Resting on the Hope, of Eternal Life, which Elohim, who does not Lie, Promised before the Beginning, of Time, and in due Time, he has Manifested his Word, by means, of our Announcement, which was confided to me, by the Command, of Elohim, our Lifegiver. To Titus, a True Son in the common believing, Grace, and Peace, from Elohim, the Father, through our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, our Savior, the reason I left you, in Crete, was that you might straighten out, what was left unfinished, and appoint Elders, in every Town, as I directed you. If anyone is blameless, the Husband, of but One Wife, a Man, whose Children believe, and are not open to the charge, of being wild, and disobedient. Since an Overseer is Entrusted, with Elohim's Work, he must be blameless, not overbearing, not quick tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, One who loves, what is good, who is self controlled, upright, Holy, and Disciplined. He must hold firmly, to the Trustworthy Message, as it has been Taught, so that he can encourage others, by sound Doctrine, and refute those, who oppose it, for there are many rebellious People, mere Talkers, and Deceivers, of People's Minds, especially those, of the Circumcision Group, who must have their Mouths stopped, because they are Ruining, whole Households, by Teaching things, they ought not to Teach, and that for the sake, of Dishonest gain. Even One, of their own Prophets, has said, Cretans are always Liars, Vicious Beasts, with Empty Bellies, this Testimony is True. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound, in the believing, and may not throw themselves, into Israelites Fables, and into the Precepts, of Men, who hate the Truth, for to the Pure, everything is Pure, but to them, who are Defiled, and unbelieving, nothing is Pure, even their Mind, and Conscience, are Polluted. They Claim to Know Elohim, but by their actions, they Deny him, they are Detestable, Disobedient, and Unfit, for doing anything good. But you must Teach, what is in accord, with sound Doctrine.

Teach the Older Men, to be Temperate, Worthy, of Respect, self controlled, and sound in believing, in love, and in Endurance. Likewise, Teach the Older Women, to be Reverent, in the way they Live, not to be Slanderers, or addicted to much Wine, but to Teach, what is good, that they may Teach, the Young Women, to be Modest, to love their Husbands, and their Children, to be self controlled, and Pure, well Mindful, of their Houses, and Submissive, to their Husbands, that the Word, of Elohim, may not be Evil spoken of. Similarly, Encourage the Young Men, to be self controlled in everything, set them an Example, by doing what is good, in your Teaching, show Integrity, Seriousness, and Soundness, of Speech, that cannot be Condemned, so that those, who Oppose you, may be ashamed, because they have nothing bad, to say about us. Teach Slaves, to be Subject, to their Masters, in everything, to try to Please them, not contentious, and not to steal, from them, but to show, that they can be fully Trusted, so that in every way, they will make the Teaching, about Elohim, attractive. For the Grace, of Elohim, that has been Revealed, to all Men, Instructing us to say no, to Ungodliness, and Worldly Passions, and to Live, self controlled, upright, and Godly Lives, in this Present Age, while we wait, for the Blessed Hope, the Glorious Appearing, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah.

Who did give himself for us, that he might save us, from all Iniquity, and might Purify us, to be his own a People, acceptable, eager to do, what is good. These then are the things, you should Teach, Encourage, and Rebuke, with all Authority, do not let anyone Despise you, put them in Mind, that to Princes, and to Powers, they are to Hearken, and to be Obedient, and to be Prepared, to do whatever is good, and not to speak Evil, against any Man, and not to be quarrelsome, but to be Meek, in every respect, Manifest Gentleness, towards all Men. At One Time, we too were Foolish, Disobedient, Deceived, and Enslaved, by all kinds, of Passions, and Pleasures, we Lived in Malice, and Envy, being Hated, and Hating One another, but after the Goodness, and Kindness, of Elohim, was Manifested, not by Works, of Righteousness, which we have done, but according to this Mercy. He Vivified us, by the Washing, of the New Birth, and by the renovation, of the Power, which he shed into us, abundantly, through Yeshua, the Messiah, our Savior. That being Justified, by his Grace, we should be made heirs, to the Hope, of the Life, which is Eternal, this is a True saying, and these things, I want you to constantly affirm. So that those, who believe in Elohim, may be careful, to do good Works continually, these things are good, and profitable to Men, but avoid Foolish controversies, and Genealogies, and arguments, and quarrels, about the Law. Because these are unprofitable, and useless, warn a divisive Person Once, and then warn him a Second Time, after that, have nothing to do with him, you may be sure that, such a Man is perverse, and sinful, he is self Condemned. As soon as I send Artemas, or Tychicus to you, do your best, to come to me, at Nicopolis, because I have decided, to Winter there. Do everything you can, to help Zenas, the Scribe, and Apollos, on their way, and See that they have everything, they need, our People must learn, to devote themselves, to doing what is good, in order that, they may provide for daily necessities, and not Live unproductive Lives. All they that are with me, Greet you, Greet all them, who love us, in the believing. Grace, be with you all, believe.

This Letter is Dedicated to the
Memory, of my Teacher.
