Titus 1
Mounce Reverse Interlinear New Testament
1 Paul Paulos, a servant of God theos and de an apostle apostolos of Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, for kata the faith pistis of the elect eklektos of God theos and kai the knowledge epignōsis of the truth alētheia that ho produces kata godliness eusebeia, 2 for the sake of epi the hope elpis of eternal aiōnios life zōē, which hos God theos, who ho does not lie apseudēs, promised epangellomai before pro times chronos eternal aiōnios, 3 and de revealed phaneroō his autos word logos at the proper idios time kairos · ho in en the proclamation kērygma, with which hos I egō have been entrusted pisteuō by kata the command epitagē of ho God theos our hēmeis Savior sōtēr, 4 to Titus Titos, a true gnēsios son teknon in kata a common koinos faith pistis: Grace charis and kai peace eirēnē from apo God theos the Father patēr and kai Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous · ho our hēmeis Savior sōtēr.
5 For charin this reason houtos I left apoleipō you sy in en Crete Krētē, so that hina you might put right epidiorthoō the ho remaining things leipō and kai appoint kathistēmi elders presbyteros in every kata town polis, as hōs I egō directed diatassō you sy— 6 if ei anyone tis is eimi above reproach anenklētos, a man anēr of one heis woman gynē, having echō believing pistos children teknon, not mē open to en the charge katēgoria of debauchery asōtia or ē being rebellious anypotaktos. 7 For gar it is necessary dei for an ho overseer episkopos to be eimi above reproach anenklētos as hōs a steward oikonomos of God theos, not mē arrogant authadēs, not mē quick-tempered orgilos, not mē a drunkard paroinos, not mē violent plēktēs, not mē greedy aischrokerdēs for gain , 8 but alla hospitable philoxenos, loving what is good philagathos, self-controlled sōphrōn, just dikaios, holy hosios, disciplined enkratēs, 9 holding fast to antechō the ho trustworthy pistos word logos that is in accordance with kata the ho teaching didachē, so that hina he might be eimi able dynatos both kai to exhort parakaleō with en · ho healthy hygiainō doctrine didaskalia · ho and kai to rebuke elenchō those ho who oppose antilegō it.
10 For gar there are eimi many polys rebellious people anypotaktos, senseless babblers mataiologos and kai deceivers phrenapatēs, especially malista those ho of ek the ho circumcision peritomē. 11 It is therefore necessary dei to muzzle epistomizō those hos who hostis are upsetting anatrepō entire holos households oikos by teaching didaskō what hos is not mē proper dei for charin shameful aischros gain kerdos. 12 One tis of ek them autos, their idios own autos prophet prophētēs, said legō, “ Cretans Krēs are always aei liars pseustēs, evil kakos beasts thērion, lazy argos gluttons gastēr.” 13 · ho This houtos testimony martyria is eimi true alēthēs, for dia which hos reason aitia rebuke elenchō them autos sharply apotomōs, so that hina they may be healthy hygiainō in en the ho faith pistis, 14 not mē being devoted prosechō to Jewish Ioudaikos myths mythos and kai commandments entolē of people anthrōpos who are turning away from apostrephō the ho truth alētheia. 15 All pas things are clean katharos to the ho clean katharos, but de to the ho defiled miainō and kai unbelieving apistos nothing oudeis is clean katharos, but alla both kai their autos · ho mind nous and kai · ho conscience syneidēsis are defiled miainō. 16 They profess homologeō to know oida God theos, but de by their ho deeds ergon they deny arneomai him, being eimi abominable bdelyktos and kai disobedient apeithēs and kai worthless adokimos for pros any pas good agathos work ergon.

Greeting
1 Paul,(A) a slave of God(B) and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to build up[a] the faith of God’s elect(C) and their knowledge of the truth(D) that leads[b] to godliness,(E) 2 in the hope of eternal life(F) that God, who cannot lie,(G) promised before time began.(H) 3 In His own time He has revealed(I) His message(J) in the proclamation that I was entrusted(K) with by the command(L) of God our Savior:(M)
4 To Titus,(N) my true son(O) in our common faith.
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.(P)
Titus’s Ministry in Crete
5 The reason I left you in Crete(Q) was to set right what was left undone and, as I directed you, to appoint elders(R) in every town: 6 one(S) who is blameless,(T) the husband of one wife, having faithful[c] children not accused of wildness or rebellion. 7 For an overseer,(U) as God’s administrator, must be blameless, not arrogant, not hot-tempered, not addicted to wine, not a bully, not greedy for money, 8 but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, righteous, holy, self-controlled, 9 holding to the faithful message as taught,(V) so that he will be able both to encourage with sound teaching(W) and to refute those who contradict it.
10 For there are also many rebellious people, full of empty talk and deception, especially those from Judaism.[d] 11 It is necessary to silence them; they overthrow whole households by teaching what they shouldn’t in order to get money dishonestly. 12 One of their very own prophets said,
Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.[e]
13 This testimony is true.(X) So, rebuke them sharply,(Y) that they may be sound in the faith 14 and may not pay attention to Jewish myths(Z) and the commands of men who reject the truth.(AA)
15 To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience(AB) are defiled. 16 They profess to know God,(AC) but they deny Him by their works.(AD) They are detestable, disobedient, and disqualified for any good work.(AE)
