Titus 3

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Make clear to them that they are to put themselves under rulers and authorities, to do what they are ordered, to be ready for every good work,

2 To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

3 For in the past we were foolish, hard in heart, turned from the true way, servants of evil desires and pleasures, living in bad feeling and envy, hated and hating one another.

4 But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

5 Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

6 Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

7 So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life.

8 This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

9 But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.

10 A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;

11 Clearly he is in error and a sinner, being self-judged.

12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.

13 Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.

14 And let our people go on with good works for necessary purposes, so that they may not be without fruit.

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

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 Remind them to be "V’NISHMA" ("obedient, and we will obey!" SHEMOT 24:7) to sarim (rulers), to shiltonim (authorities), to be submissive, to be obedient, ready for every ma’aseh tov.

2 Speak lashon hora of no one, be not ohev riv (quarrelsome). Be eidel (gentle), displaying anavah (meekness) to kol Bnei Adam.

3 For all of us were once without da’as, sorrarim (disobedient), being led astray, avadim (slaves) of ta’avot and to various ta’anugot (pleasures) of the Olam Hazeh, spending our lives in eyvah (enmity BERESHIS 3:15) and kina (jealousy), hated, and hating one another.

4 But when the Chen v’Chesed and the ahavas Hashem Moshieynu appeared to Bnei Adam,

5 Not by tzidkateynu (our righteousness) in ma’asim tovim which is to our zchus (merit), but according to His rachamim, He granted us Yeshu’at Eloheynu through the mikveh mayim ruchani of rebirth and renewing of the Ruach Hakodesh [Yn 3:3],

6 Which Hashem poured out on us richly through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Moshieynu,

7 That, having been made YITZDAK IM HASHEM (IYOV 25:4) by the Chen v’Chesed of Hashem, we might become yoreshim (heirs) in the tikvah HaChayyei Olam.

8 This dvar Emes is trustworthy. And I counsel you to strongly affirm the divrei torah I am handing on to you, that those who have become ma’aminim in Hashem may be shomer for ma’asim tovim. These things to Bnei Adam are good, tov me’od.

9 But pilpul minutiae controversies and toldot and quarrels and fights about the Torah, avoid, for they are unprofitable hevel.

10 An ish hacholek (a man of division, a divisive man) after one or two warnings, avoid,

11 Having da’as that such a man is perverted and sinful, bringing harsha’ah (condemnation) upon himself.

12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, try to come to me at Nicopolis, for there I have decided to spend the choref (winter).

13 Do your utmost to speed Zenas, the Ben Torah (scholar), and Apollos on their way, that nothing for them may be lacking.

14 Let anshei adateynu (the men of our community) learn to be concerned about ma’asim tovim so as to supply urgent needs, that they may not be lo poreh (unfruitful).

15 Drishat Shalom from all the ones with me. Drishat Shalom to those who have ahavah for us in the emunah [of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach]. Chen v’Chesed Hashem to all of you. [T.N. In the next letter, Rav Sha’ul’s ministry bore fruit in freedom in a messianic shtiebel in Colossae for a slave boy who had run away in the shackles of sin before Moshiach the Go’el set him free.]
