Literal translation of the Greek text:
Tito 3
1 Remind them of the original ways of authority and to be subordinate and obedient that for all good works they be ready.
2 Let none speak evil but be peaceable, patient with all, showing gentleness to all mankind.
3 But we in time past were ignorant, disobedient, led astray ensnared by lusts and pleasures of various evils and envy, living
with hatred, hating others
4 But when the goodness and the love toward mankind appeared from the Saviour our God
5 not from works but by justification we have been prepared according to salvation by baptism and rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit
6 Who was poured out upon us abundantly through Yeshua the Anointed One(the Messiah) our Saviour
7 so that we could be rendered innocent by His grace becoming heirs according to hope of life eternal.
8 Believe the word and about these, you be willing to affirm strongly so that they are careful to give attention to good works, trusting God that these men are worthy and beneficial.
9 Also (those who are as)babies debating genealogies and contention and controversies regarding the law avoid because they are futile and devoid of results.
10 A heretic man after one or two warnings avoid.
11 Notice that the corrupt one of this sort and he who misses the mark are self condemned.
12 When I send Arteman to you or Tuchikon make an effort to come to me unto Nicopolis, then there decide to pass the winter.
13 Send Tzenan the (Mosaic)law expert and Apollo promptly so that nobody is forsaken.
14 Moreover they understand and their good works are maintained unto the needful business so that none are unfruitful.
15 They greet you and I greet you all and love you in truth, and grace be with all of you, Amen.
