1 admone illos principibus et potestatibus subditos esse
dicto oboedire ad omne opus bonum paratos esse
2 neminem blasphemare
non litigiosos esse modestos
omnem ostendentes mansuetudinem ad omnes homines
3 eramus enim et nos aliquando insipientes
increduli errantes
servientes desideriis et voluptatibus variis
in malitia et invidia agentes odibiles odientes invicem
4 cum autem benignitas et humanitas apparuit salvatoris
nostri Dei
5 non ex operibus iustitiae quae fecimus nos
sed secundum suam misericordiam salvos nos fecit
per lavacrum regenerationis et renovationis Spiritus Sancti
6 quem effudit in nos abunde
per Iesum Christum salvatorem nostrum
7 ut iustificati gratia ipsius
heredes simus secundum spem vitae aeternae
8 fidelis sermo est et de his volo te confirmare
ut curent bonis operibus praeesse qui credunt Deo
haec sunt bona et utilia hominibus
9 stultas autem quaestiones et genealogias
et contentiones et pugnas legis devita
sunt enim inutiles et vanae
10 hereticum hominem post unam et secundam correptionem devita
11 sciens quia subversus est qui eiusmodi est
et delinquit proprio iudicio condemnatus
12 cum misero ad te Arteman aut Tychicum
festina ad me venire Nicopolim ibi enim statui hiemare
13 Zenan legis peritum et Apollo sollicite praemitte
ut nihil illis desit
14 discant autem et nostri bonis operibus praeesse
ad usus necessarios ut non sint infructuosi
15 salutant te qui mecum sunt omnes
saluta qui nos amant in fide
gratia Dei cum omnibus vobis amen
EXPLICIT EPISTULA AD TITUM1 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 unto 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 love of God 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 Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto 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 sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto 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 unto 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 love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
