Titus 3

1

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.

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;

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.

A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

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

Titus 3:11

“Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.”

Study Summary

Understanding that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned — the divisive person reveals through persistent rejection of correction that they are existentially twisted (exestrammenoi — perverted/distorted) and hamartanei (sinful). The self-condemnation (autokatakritos) emphasizes that rejection of apostolic authority is self-judgment; the community does not condemn but recognizes the already-present judgment of refusal.
