Paul, servant of God, and sent of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen of God, and the acknowledgment of the truth according to devotion;

[It is being sent] to Titus, my true son, [who shares] in a common faith. [May you have] unearned favor and peace [which come] from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

But hospitable, a lover of good, of sound mind, just, holy, holding firm;

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

so as to make them sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

Of sound mind chaste, remaining at home, good subordinates to their own husbands, that the word of God be not defamed.

In like manner exhort the younger to be of a sound mind,

in doctrine, uncorruptness, seriousness, Sound speech that cannot be reproved;

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.

When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

Diligently send on their way Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that {they may lack nothing}.

All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.
