2 In the hope of eternall lyfe, which God that can not lye, promised before the worlde began: in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,

5 For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest refourme ye thynges that are left, and ordayne elders in euerye citie, as I had appoynted thee: This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you— The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6 If any be blamelesse, the husbande of one wyfe, hauyng faythfull chyldren, not accusable of riote, or vntractable. if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7 For a bishop must be blamelesse, as the stewarde of God: not stubborne, not angry, not geuen to wyne, no striker, not geuen to filthie lucre: For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8 But a louer of hospitalitie, a louer of goodnes, sober, ryghteous, godly, temperate, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
9 Holdyng fast the faythfull worde, which is accordyng to doctrine, that he may be able both to exhort in wholsome doctrine, and to improue them that say agaynst it. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
10 For there are many vnruly, and vayne talkers, and deceauers of myndes, specially they that are of ye circumcision, For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.
11 Whose mouthes must be stopped, which subuert whole houses, teachyng thynges which they ought not, for fylthie lucre sake. They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
12 One of them selues euen a prophete of their owne, sayde: The Crettans are alwayes lyers, euyll beastes, slowe bellyes. One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”
13 This witnesse is true: wherfore rebuke them sharpely that they may be founde in the fayth, This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith
14 Not takyng heede to Iewes fables and comaundementes of men, turnyng from the trueth. not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth. and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.
15 Unto the pure, are all thynges pure: but vnto them that are defyled and vnbeleuyng, is nothyng pure, but euen the mynde and conscience of them is defyled. To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
16 They confesse that they knowe God: but with workes they denie hym, seyng they are abhominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
