Titus 3:1-15

Titus 3:1-7:

^3:1You must remind them to be ruled-persuasively by rulerships (including) to be subject to authorities, to be prepared towards all good work, ^.2to blaspheme not-one-person, to be without-fighting, considerate, pointing-out all meekness towards all men; ^.3for even we used-to-be at-some-time unmindful-people, un-persuaded-people, being caused-to-wander, serving-as-slaves to variegated intense-yearnings and delights, leading (our lives) in badness and envy, haters, hating one-another – ^.4but when the benevolence and the love-for-man of God our Savior was brought-to-light-upon (us), ^.5not out-from works, the (works) in righteousness which we did, but according to His mercy, He saved us by means of (the) washing of re-genesis and (the) newing-up of holy spirit ^.6which He poured-out on us wealthily by means of Jesus Christ our savior ^.7in order that having been made-righteous with the grace of that-one we may be caused-to-become inheritors according to hope of eternal life –

You (Titus) must remind them (cause those who have previously been taught to remember, to recollect, to call to their minds)…

to be ruled-persuasively by rulerships (to obey the persuasion, conviction that has been given to them by those who are in the first-placed, chief, dignified hierarchical positions and therefore rule in accordance with God and the Lord Jesus Christ)

…including and related to this is…

to be subject to authorities (to be in submission, arrange themselves in the position of being underneath, under the authority of those who are in the positions of authoritative power, who have the permitted right to exercise that authority in accordance with God and the Lord Jesus Christ)….

Only Godly rulership and authority have true reality since God raised Christ up giving him his spiritual body – all other rulership and authority have no effect spiritually to/with/against Christ, the head, and his body of holy-people (refer to Romans 13:1-7; Ephesians 1:19-23; Colossians 1:13-19 and 27, and 2:9-12).

You must remind them to be ruled-persuasively by rulerships including to be subject to authorities,

to be prepared towards all/every good work (to be ready, in the state of readiness to proceed in motion for the purpose of all work that issues from God Who is good and sets the standard for what is good, every good thing wrought, every deed, every effect-produced having acted expending his/her energy in accordance with what is perfectly admirable from God's viewpoint, according to His words and intention because He is the source of all true goodness),
to blaspheme not-one-person (to speak evilly of no-one, to treat nobody with lack of Godly reverential respect, to calumniate not one person),
to be without-fighting (to be in the state of not-fighting, not to be brawlers, not contentious people),
considerate (disposed to yielding appropriately with fitting-suitableness considering the rights of others in a righteous/just manner, which is according to what God and the Lord Jesus Christ indicate),
pointing out all/every meekness towards all men (indicating, as though with a finger, displaying towards all mankind all tender receptiveness or receptivity towards God and the things of God).
