Titus Paul, a bondman of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ, for belief of the chosen of God, and full knowledge of truth, of the one according to piety;

ABP_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G* Paul, G1401 a bondman G2316 of God, G652 and apostle G1161 G* of Jesus G5547 Christ, G2596 for G4102 belief G1588 of the chosen G2316 of God, G2532 and G1922 full knowledge G225 of truth, G3588 of the one G2596 according to G2150 piety;

2 G1909 unto G1680 the hope G2222 of life G166 eternal, G3739 which G1861 [⁴promised G3588 ¹the G893 ³incapable of falsehood G2316 ²God] G4253 before G5550 times G166 eternal,

3 G5319 but manifested G1161 G2540 [²times G2398 ¹in his own] -- G3588 G3056 his word G1473 G1722 by G2782 proclamation, G3739 which G4100 I was entrusted with G1473 G2596 according to G2003 command G3588 G4990 [²our deliverer G1473 G2316 ¹of God].

4 G* To Titus G1103 genuine G5043 child G2596 according to G2839 our common G4102 belief. G5484 Favor, G1656 mercy, G1515 peace G575 from G2316 God G3962 the father, G2532 and G2962 of the Lord G* Jesus G5547 Christ G3588 G4990 our deliverer. G1473

5 G3778 For this G5484 favor G2641 I left G1473 you G1722 in G* Crete, G2443 that G3588 the things G3007 missing G1930 you should correct, G2532 and G2525 should place G2596 in every city G4172 G4245 elders, G5613 as G1473 I G1473 set in order for you to do. G1299

6 G1536 If anyone G1510.2.3 is G410 without reproach, G1520 [²of one G1135 ³wife G435 ¹husband], G5043 [³children G2192 ¹having G4103 ²trustworthy], G3361 not G1722 with G2724 a charge G810 of carnality, G2228 or G506 unsubmissiveness.

7 G1163 For it is necessary G1063 G3588 the G1985 overseer G410 to be without reproach, G1510.1 G5613 as G2316 God's G3623 manager; G3361 not G829 self-willed, G3361 not G3711 prone to anger, G3361 not G3943 intemperate in the use of wine, G3361 not G4131 a brawler, G3361 not G146 profiting through vice;

8 G235 but G5382 hospitable, G5358 friend of good men, G4998 discreet, G1342 just, G3741 sacred, G1468 self-controlled,

9 G472 holding to G3588 G2596 [³according to G3588 ⁴the G1322 ⁵teaching G4103 ¹ the trustworthy G3056 ²word], G2443 that G1415 he might be able G1510.3 G2532 both G3870 to encourage G1722 in G3588 the G1319 [²teaching G3588 G5198 ¹sound], G2532 and G3588 [²the ones G483 ³disputing G1651 ¹to reprove].

10 G1510.2.6 For there are G1063 G4183 many G506 unsubmissive G2532 and G3151 vain talkers G2532 and G5423 mind-deceivers, G3122 especially G3588 the ones G1537 of G4061 the circumcision,

11 G3739 whom G1163 it is necessary G1993 to muzzle, G3748 who G3650 [²entire G3624 ³houses G396 ¹upset], G1321 teaching G3739 what G3361 they must not, G1163 G149 [²of shameful G2771 ³gain G5484 ¹for favor].

12 G2036 There said G5100 a certain one G1537 of G1473 them, G2398 [²of their own G1473 G4396 ¹a prophet], G* Cretans G104 continually G5583 are liars, G2556 evil G2342 wild beasts, G1064 [²bellies G692 ¹idle].

13 G3588 G3141 This testimony G3778 G1510.2.3 is G227 true; G1223 for G3739 which G156 reason G1651 reprove G1473 them G664 severely! G2443 that G5198 they should be sound G1722 in G3588 the G4102 belief,

14 G3361 not G4337 giving heed G* to Jewish G3454 fables, G2532 and G1785 commandments G444 of men, G654 turning away from G3588 the G225 truth.

15 G3956 All things G3303 indeed G2513 are pure G3588 to the G2513 pure; G3588 but to the ones G1161 G3392 being defiled G2532 and G571 unbelieving G3762 nothing G2513 is pure; G235 but G3392 [⁵are defiled G1473 ¹even their G2532 G3588 G3563 ²mind G2532 ³and G3588 G4893 ⁴conscience].

16 G2316 God G3670 they acknowledge G1492 to know, G3588 but in the G1161 G2041 works G720 they deny, G947 being abominable G1510.6 G2532 and G545 resisting persuasion, G2532 and G4314 [²to G3956 ³every G2041 ⁵work G18 ⁴good G96 ¹rejected].

1 G3972 Paul, G1401 a slave G2316 of God, G1161 and G652 an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Anointed, G2596 according to G4102 the faith G2316 of God's G1588 elect, G2532 and G1922 the acknowledging G225 of the truth G3588 which G2596 is according to G2150 piety;

2 G1909 In G1680 hope G166 of age-during G2222 life, G3739 which G2316 God, G893 who cannot lie, G1861 [G5662] promised G4253 before G166 age-during G5550 times;

3 G1161 But G5319 0 hath G2398 in due G2540 seasons G5319 [G5656] manifested G846 his G3056 word G1722 through G2782 proclamation, G3739 which G4100 [G5681] is committed G1473 to me G2596 according to G2003 the commandment G2316 of God G2257 our G4990 Saviour;

4 G5103 To Titus, G1103 my genuine G5043 child G2596 after G2839 the common G4102 faith: G5485 Grace, G1656 mercy, G1515 and peace, G575 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G2532 and G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed G2257 our G4990 Saviour.

5 G5127 For this G5484 favour G2641 [G5627] I left G4571 thee G1722 in G2914 Crete, G2443 that G1930 [G5672] thou shouldest set in order G3007 [G5723] the things that are wanting, G2532 and G2525 [G5661] designate G4245 elders G2596 in every G4172 city, G5613 as G1473 I G1299 [G5668] had appointed G4671 thee:

6 G1536 If any G2076 [G5748] is G410 blameless, G435 the husband G3391 of one G1135 wife, G2192 [G5723] having G4103 faithful G5043 children, G3361 not G1722 in G2724 an accusation G810 of profligacy G2228 or G506 rebellion.

7 G1063 For G1985 an overseer G1163 [G5748] must G1511 [G5750] be G410 blameless, G5613 as G3623 the steward G2316 of God; G3361 not G829 selfwilled, G3361 not G3711 soon angry, G3361 not G3943 given to wine, G3361 not G4131 a striker, G3361 not G146 greedy for money;

8 G235 But G5382 hospitable, G5358 fond of good, G4998 discreet, G1342 just, G3741 holy, G1468 temperate;

9 G472 [G5740] Holding fast G4103 the faithful G3056 word G2596 as G1322 he hath been taught, G2443 that G5600 [G5753] he may be G1415 able G1722 by G5198 [G5723] sound G1319 teaching G2532 both G3870 [G5721] to exhort G2532 and G1651 [G5721] to convict G483 [G5723] those who contradict.

10 G1063 For G1526 [G5748] there are G4183 many G506 rebellious G2532 and G3151 vain talkers G2532 and G5423 deceivers, G3122 especially G1537 they of G4061 the circumcision:

11 G3739 Whose G1993 0 mouths G1163 [G5748] must G1993 [G5721] be stopped, G3748 who G396 [G5719] subvert G3650 whole G3624 houses, G1321 [G5723] teaching G3739 things which G1163 [G5748] they ought G3361 not, G5484 for the favour G150 of shameful G2771 gain.

12 G5100 One G1537 of G846 themselves, G4396 even a prophet G846 of their G2398 own, G2036 [G5627] said, G2912 The Cretians G104 are always G5583 liars, G2556 bad G2342 wild beasts, G692 lazy G1064 gluttons.

13 G3778 This G3141 testimony G2076 [G5748] is G227 true. G1223 G3739 G156 Therefore G1651 [G5720] rebuke G846 them G664 sharply, G2443 that G5198 [G5725] they may be sound G1722 in G4102 the faith;

14 G3361 Not G4337 [G5723] giving heed G2451 to Judaic G3454 fables, G2532 and G1785 commandments G444 of men, G654 [G5734] that turn from G3588 the G225 truth.

15 G2513 To the clean G3956 all things G3303 indeed G2513 are clean: G1161 but G3392 [G5772] to them being defiled G2532 and G571 unbelieving G3762 is nothing G2513 clean; G235 but G2532 even G846 their G3563 mind G2532 and G4893 conscience G3392 [G5769] is defiled.

16 G3670 [G5719] They profess G1492 [G5760] that they know G2316 God; G1161 but G2041 in works G720 [G5736] they deny G5607 [G5752] him, being G947 abominable, G2532 and G545 unpersuadable, G2532 and G4314 to G3956 every G18 good G2041 work G96 disqualified.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of truth which leads to godliness; ² in hope of life eternal, which God, who cannot lie, hath promised before time had a being; ³ but hath manifested in his own appointed season his word by the preaching, with which I have been entrusted, according to the command of our Saviour God; ⁴ to Titus, my genuine son after the common faith, be grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. ⁵ For this purpose I left thee behind me at Crete, that thou mightest direct the regulations which remained to be executed, and that thou shouldest appoint presbyters in every city, as I charged thee to do: ⁶ if there be a man blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not under an accusation or debauchery, or disorderly conduct. ⁷ For a bishop ought to be irreproachable, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not irritable, not addicted to wine, not quarrelsome, not greedy of filthy lucre; ⁸ but the stranger's host, the good man's friend, grave, just, holy, temperate; ⁹ firmly attached to the faithful word, according to the doctrine delivered, that he may be able to exhort with sound instruction and to confute the opposers. ¹⁰ For there are many disorderly persons vainly talkative, and under a spirit of delusion, especially some of the circumcised; ¹¹ whose mouths ought to be muzzled, who pervert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain. ¹² One of them, a poet of their own nation, hath said, The Cretans are always liars, wicked beasts, slothful gluttons. ¹³ This testimony is true. For which cause rebuke them with severity, that they may be sound in the faith; ¹⁴ not attending to Jewish fables, and injunctions of men, who have turned away from the truth. ¹⁵ All things indeed are clean to the clean: but to the defiled and to the unbelievers there is nothing clean; but their very mind and conscience are defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God; but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

2 G1909 In G1680 hope G166 of eternal G2222 life G3739 , which G2316 God G893 , who cannot lie G1861 [G5662] , promised G4253 before G166 the world G5550 began;

3 G1161 But G5319 0 hath G2398 in due G2540 times G5319 [G5656] manifested G846 his G3056 word G1722 through G2782 preaching G3739 , which G4100 [G5681] is committed G1473 to me G2596 according to G2003 the commandment G2316 of God G2257 our G4990 Saviour;

4 G5103 To Titus G1103 , my own G5043 son G2596 after G2839 the common G4102 faith G5485 : Grace G1656 , mercy G1515 , and peace G575 , from G2316 God G3962 the Father G2532 and G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G4990 Saviour.

5 G5127 For this G5484 cause G2641 [G5627] I left G4571 thee G1722 in G2914 Crete G2443 , that G1930 [G5672] thou shouldest set in order G3007 [G5723] the things that are wanting G2532 , and G2525 [G5661] ordain G4245 elders G2596 in every G4172 city G5613 , as G1473 I G1299 [G5668] had appointed G4671 thee:

6 G1536 If any G2076 [G5748] is G410 blameless G435 , the husband G3391 of one G1135 wife G2192 [G5723] , having G4103 faithful G5043 children G3361 not G1722 G2724 accused G810 of dissipation G2228 or G506 rebellion.

7 G1063 For G1985 a bishop G1163 [G5748] must G1511 [G5750] be G410 blameless G5613 , as G3623 the steward G2316 of God G3361 ; not G829 selfwilled G3361 , not G3711 soon angry G3361 , not G3943 given to wine G3361 , not G4131 violent G3361 , not G146 greedy for money;

8 G235 But G5382 a lover of hospitality G5358 , a lover of good men G4998 , sober minded G1342 , just G3741 , holy G1468 , temperate;

9 G472 [G5740] Holding fast G4103 the faithful G3056 word G2596 as G1322 he hath been taught G2443 , that G5600 [G5753] he may be G1415 able G1722 by G5198 [G5723] sound G1319 doctrine G2532 both G3870 [G5721] to exhort G2532 and G1651 [G5721] to convict G483 [G5723] those who contradict.

10 G1063 For G1526 [G5748] there are G4183 many G506 rebellious G2532 and G3151 vain talkers G2532 and G5423 deceivers G3122 , especially G1537 they of G4061 the circumcision:

11 G3739 Whose G1993 0 mouths G1163 [G5748] must G1993 [G5721] be stopped G3748 , who G396 [G5719] subvert G3650 whole G3624 houses G1321 [G5723] , teaching G3739 things which G1163 [G5748] they ought G3361 not G5484 , for the sake G150 of dishonest G2771 gain.

12 G5100 One G1537 of G846 themselves G4396 , even a prophet G846 of their G2398 own G2036 [G5627] , said G2912 , The Cretians G104 are always G5583 liars G2556 , evil G2342 beasts G692 , lazy G1064 gluttons.

13 G3778 This G3141 testimony G2076 [G5748] is G227 true G1223 G3739 G156 . Therefore G1651 [G5720] rebuke G846 them G664 sharply G2443 , that G5198 [G5725] they may be sound G1722 in G4102 the faith;

14 G3361 Not G4337 [G5723] giving heed G2451 to Jewish G3454 fables G2532 , and G1785 commandments G444 of men G654 [G5734] , that turn from G225 the truth.

15 G2513 To the pure G3956 all things G3303 G2513 are pure G1161 : but G3392 [G5772] to them that are defiled G2532 and G571 unbelieving G3762 is nothing G2513 pure G235 ; but G2532 even G846 their G3563 mind G2532 and G4893 conscience G3392 [G5769] is defiled.

16 G3670 [G5719] They profess G1492 [G5760] that they know G2316 God G1161 ; but G2041 in works G720 [G5736] they deny G5607 [G5752] him, being G947 abominable G2532 , and G545 disobedient G2532 , and G4314 to G3956 every G18 good G2041 work G96 disqualified.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, (according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledgment of the truth, which is according to godliness; ² in hope of eternal life, which God, who can not lie, promised before the times of the ages- ³ who has now manifested his word, at the proper season, by the proclamation with which I am entrusted, according to the appointment of God our Saviour;) ⁴ to Titus, my genuine son, according to the common faith: Favor, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour. ⁵ For this purpose, I left you in Crete, that you might set in order the things left unfinished, and to ordain seniors in every city, as I commanded you. ⁶ If any one be without blame, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not accused of riotous living, nor unruly. ⁷ For a bishop should be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not prone to anger, not given to wine, not a striker, not one who makes gain by base methods; ⁸ but hospitable; a lover of good men, prudent, just, holy, temperate; ⁹ holding fast the true doctrine, as he has been taught; that he may be able, by wholesome teaching, both to exhort and to confute the gain-sayers. ¹⁰ For there are many unruly and foolish talked and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped; who subvert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain. ¹² One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, "The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy bodies." ¹³ This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be healthy in the faith- ¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables, and precepts of men who pervert the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure, all meats are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving, nothing is pure; for both their understanding and conscience are polluted. ¹⁶ They profess to know God; but by works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAULOS, a servant of Aloha, and apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, for the faith of the chosen ones of Aloha, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of Aloha; ² unto the hope of eternal life, which Aloha the true counselled before the times of the ages, ³ and his word hath revealed in his time by our preaching, which was confided to me by the command of Aloha our Saviour: ⁴ To Titos, my true son in the common faith. Grace and peace from Aloha the Father and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour. ⁵ For this I left thee in Kreta, that those things which were wanting thou mayest rectify, and constitute presbyters in every city as I commanded thee. ⁶ Him who is without blame, and is [Or, Vavo, and hath been.] the husband of one wife, and who hath believing children, who are not vicious nor addicted to intemperance. ⁷ For a presbyter is bound to be without blame, as the steward of Aloha; he shall not be led by the will of self, nor be irascible, nor a transgressor over wine, neither shall his hand be hasty to strike, nor shall he be a lover of sordid gains. ⁸ But he shall be a lover of guests, and a lover of the good, and be chaste, and equitable, and holy, and withholding himself from lusts; ⁹ and careful over the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able also to comfort by his teaching the healthy, and to reprove those who are contentious. ¹⁰ For there are many who are not in subjection, and whose words are vain, and make the minds of men to err, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ those, whose mouths it behoves to stop. Many houses they destroy, and teach what they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain. ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own, hath said, The sons of Kreta are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy bellies. ¹³ And true is this testimony. Wherefore reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ nor cast themselves to the fables of the Jihudoyee, and to the mandates of men who hate the truth. ¹⁵ For every thing is pure to the pure; but to those who are polluted and unfaithful nothing is pure; but their understanding and their conscience are polluted. ¹⁶ And they profess to know Aloha, but in their works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and reprobate to every good work.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and a legate of Jesus the Messiah; according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of God, ² concerning the hope of eternal life, which the veracious God promised before the times of the world; ³ and in due time he hath manifested his word, by means of our announcement, which was confided to me by the command of God our Life-giver; ⁴ to Titus, a real son after the common faith: Grace and peace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah, our Life-giver. ⁵ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou mightest regulate the things deficient, and establish elders in every city, as I directed thee: ⁶ him who is blameless, who is the husband of one wife, and hath believing children, who are no revellers, nor ungovernable in sensuality. ⁷ For an elder ought to be blameless, as the steward of God; and not be self-willed, nor irascible, nor excessive in wine, nor with hands swift to strike, nor a lover of base gains. ⁸ But he should be a lover of strangers, and a lover of good deeds, and be sober, upright, kind-hearted, and restraining himself from evil passions; ⁹ and studious of the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able by his wholesome teaching both to console, and to rebuke them that are contentious. ¹⁰ For many are unsubmissive, and their discourses vain; and they mislead the minds of people, especially such as are of the circumcision. ¹¹ The mouth of these ought to be stopped: they corrupt many families; and they teach what they ought not, for the sake of base gains. ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own, said, The Cretans are always mendacious, evil beasts, idle bellies. ¹³ And this testimony is true. Therefore chide them sharply; that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ and may not throw themselves into Jewish fables, and into the precepts of men who hate the truth. ¹⁵ For to the pure, every thing is pure; but to them who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their understanding is defiled, and their conscience. ¹⁶ And they profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him; and they are odious, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobates.

⁵ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee;
⁶ if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate— ⁷ for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre; ⁸ but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, self-controlled, ⁹ holding—according to the teaching—to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict; ¹⁰ for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers—especially they of the circumcision— ¹¹ whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre's sake. ¹² A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said—`Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!' ¹³ this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth; ¹⁵ all things, indeed, are pure to the pure, and to the defiled and unstedfast is nothing pure, but of them defiled are even the mind and the conscience; ¹⁶ God they profess to know, and in the works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.

1 G3972 Paul, G1401 a servant G2316 of God, G1161 and G652 an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ, G2596 according to G4102 the faith G1588 of G2316 God's G1588 elect, G2532 and G1922 the knowledge G1588 of G225 the truth G3588 which G2150 is according to godliness,

2 G1909 in G1680 hope G166 of eternal G2222 life, G3739 which G2316 God, G893 who cannot lie, G1861 promised G4253 before G5550 times G166 eternal;

3 G1161 but G5319 G2398 in his own G2540 seasons G5319 manifested G846 his G3056 word G1722 in G2782 the message, G3739 wherewith G1473 I G4100 was intrusted G2596 according to G2003 the commandment G2316 of God G2257 our G4990 Saviour;

4 G5103 to Titus, G1103 my true G5043 child G2596 after G2839 a common G4102 faith: G5485 Grace G1656 G1515 and peace G575 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G2532 and G2962 G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G2257 our G4990 Saviour.

5 G5127 For this G5484 cause G2641 left I G4571 thee G1722 in G2914 Crete, G2443 that G1930 thou shouldest set in order G3588 the things G3007 that were wanting, G2532 and G2525 appoint G4245 elders G2596 in every G4172 city, G5613 as G1473 I G4671 gave thee G1299 charge;

6 G1487 if G5100 any G2076 man is G410 blameless, G435 the husband G1520 of one G1135 wife, G2192 having G5043 children G4103 that believe, G3361 who are not G2724 accused G810 of riot G2228 or G506 unruly.

7 G1063 For G1985 the bishop G1163 must G1511 be G410 blameless, G5613 as G2316 God's G3623 steward; G3361 not G829 self-willed, G3361 not G3711 soon angry, G3361 no G3943 brawler, G3361 no G4131 striker, G3361 not G146 greedy of filthy lucre;

8 G235 but G5382 given to hospitality, G5358 a lover of good, G4998 sober-minded, G1342 just, G3741 holy, G1468 self-controlled;

9 G472 holding G4103 to the faithful G3056 word G2596 which G1322 is according to the teaching, G2443 that G5600 he may be G1415 able G2532 to G3870 exhort G1722 in G5198 the sound G1319 doctrine, G2532 and G1651 to convict G483 the gainsayers.

10 G1063 For G1526 there are G4183 many G506 unruly G2532 men, G3151 vain talkers G2532 and G5423 deceivers, G3122 specially G3588 they G1537 of G4061 the circumcision,

11 G3739 whose G1993 mouths G1163 must G1993 be stopped; G3748 men who G396 overthrow G3650 whole G3624 houses, G1321 teaching G3739 things which G1163 they ought G3361 not, G5484 for G150 filthy G2771 lucre's G5484 sake.

12 G5100 One G1537 of G846 themselves, G4396 a prophet G846 of their G2398 own, G2036 said, G2912 Cretans G104 are always G5583 liars, G2556 evil G2342 beasts, G692 idle G1064 gluttons.

13 G3778 This G3141 testimony G2076 is G227 true. G1223 For which cause G1651 reprove G846 them G664 sharply, G2443 that G5198 they may be sound G1722 in G156 the faith,

14 G3361 not G4337 giving heed to G2451 Jewish G3454 fables, G2532 and G1785 commandments G444 of men G654 who turn away from G225 the truth.

15 G2513 To the pure G3956 all things G2513 are pure: G1161 but G3392 to them that are defiled G2532 and G571 unbelieving G3762 nothing G2513 is pure; G235 but G2532 both G846 their G3563 mind G2532 and G846 their G4893 conscience G3392 are defiled.

16 G3670 They profess G1492 that they know G2316 God; G1161 but G2041 by their works G720 they deny G5607 him, being G947 abominable, G2532 and G545 disobedient, G2532 and G4314 unto G3956 every G18 good G2041 work G96 reprobate.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a servant of God––an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ,––according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness,–– ² In hope of life age–abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age–during times, ³ but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I––by injunction of our Saviour God: ⁴ Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith,––favour and peace, from God [our] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
⁵ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged:––
⁶ If anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate; ⁷ For it is needful that the overseer be––unaccusable, as God’s steward, not self–willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means, ⁸ But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober–minded, just, kind, possessing self–control, ⁹ Holding fast, in the matter of his teaching, the faithful word, that he may be able both to encourage with his healthful instruction, and, the gainsayers, to refute. ¹⁰ For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision,–– ¹¹ Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught]––for the sake of base gain. ¹² Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!––Cretans! always false, mischievous wild–beasts, idle gluttons: ¹³ This witness, is true,––for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith, ¹⁴ Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth: ¹⁵ All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience; ¹⁶ God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ From Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, charged to strengthen the faith of God's Chosen People, and their knowledge of that Truth which makes for godliness, . ² and is based on the hope of Immortal Life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began, ³ and has revealed at his own time in his Message, with the proclamation of which I was entrusted by the command of God our Savior. ⁴ To Titus, my true Child in our one Faith: May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Savior, bless you and give you peace. ⁵ My reason for leaving you in Crete was that you might put in order what had been left unsettled, and appoint Officers of the Church in the various towns, as I myself directed you. ⁶ They are to be men of irreproachable character, who are faithful husbands, whose children are Christians and have never been charged with dissolute conduct or have been unruly. ⁷ For a Presiding-Officer, as God's steward, ought to be a man of irreproachable character; not self-willed or quick-tempered, nor addicted to drink or to brawling or to questionable money-making. ⁸ On the contrary, he should be hospitable, eager for the right discreet, upright, a man of holy life and capable of self-restraint, ⁹ who holds doctrine that can be relied on as being in accordance with the accepted Teaching; so that he may be able to encourage others by sound teaching, as well as to refute our opponents. ¹⁰ There are, indeed, many unruly persons--great talkers who deceive themselves, principally converts from Judaism, ¹¹ whose mouths ought to be stopped; for they upset whole households by teaching what they ought not to teach, merely to make questionable gains. ¹² It was a Cretan--one of their own teachers--who said: 'Cretans are always liars, base brutes, and gluttonous idlers'; and his statement is true. ¹³ Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the Faith, ¹⁴ and may pay no attention to Jewish legends, or to the directions of those who turn their backs upon the Truth. ¹⁵ Everything is pure to the pure-minded, but to those whose minds are polluted and who are unbelievers nothing is pure. Their minds and consciences are alike polluted. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but by their actions they disown him. They are degraded and self-willed; and, as far as anything good is concerned, they are utterly worthless.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, the servant of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the perfect knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, ² in the hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie, promised before the eternal times, ³ and manifested in his own seasons his word by preaching, with which I am intrusted, according to the commandment of God our Saviour; ⁴ to Titus, my beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour. ⁵ Therefore I left you in Crete, in order that you may set in order remaining things, and establish elders in every city, as I commanded you; ⁶ if any one is irreproachable, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not in accusation of riot or incorrigible. ⁷ For it behooves the bishop to be blameless, as the steward of God; not audacious, not irascible, not given to wine, not a controvertist, not fond of filthy lucre; ⁸ but hospitable, loving the good, prudent, righteous, holy, temperate; ⁹ holding that which is according to the teaching of the faithful word, in order that he may be able both to exhort with healthy teaching, and to convict the opposers. ¹⁰ For many are incorrigible, speaking vain things and egotistical, especially those from the circumcision, ¹¹ whose mouths it is necessary to stop; who overturn whole families, teaching those things which it does not behoove, for the sake of disgraceful gain. ¹² A certain one of them, their own prophet, said, The Cretans are all liars, evil beasts, slow stomachs. ¹³ This testimony is true: on account of which cause convict them sharply, in order that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men turning away from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure: but to the corrupted and unbelieving there is nothing pure; yea, their mind and their conscience are polluted. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but deny him by their works, being abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate unto every good work.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a bondservant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ for building up the faith of God's own people and spreading a full knowledge of the truths of religion, ² in hope of the Life of the Ages which God, who is never false to His word, promised before the commencement of the Ages. ³ And at the appointed time He clearly made known His Message in the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Saviour: ⁴ To Titus my own true child in our common faith. May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. ⁵ I have left you behind in Crete in order that you may set right the things which still require attention, and appoint Elders in every town, as I directed you to do; ⁶ wherever there is a man of blameless life, true to his one wife, having children who are themselves believers and are free from every reproach of profligacy or of stubborn self-will. ⁷ For, as God's steward, a minister must be of blameless life, not over-fond of having his own way, not a man of a passionate temper nor a hard drinker, not given to blows nor greedy of gain, ⁸ but hospitable to strangers, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, upright, saintly, self-controlled; ⁹ holding fast to the faithful Message which he has received, so that he may be well qualified both to encourage others with sound teaching and to reply successfully to opponents. ¹⁰ For there are many that spurn authority--idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision. ¹¹ You must stop the mouths of such men, for they overthrow the faith of whole families, teaching what they ought not, just for the sake of making money. ¹² One of their own number--a Prophet who is a countryman of theirs--has said, "Cretans are always liars, dangerous animals, idle gluttons." ¹³ This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith, ¹⁴ and not give attention to Jewish legends and the maxims of men who turn their backs on the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure everything is pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure, but on the contrary their very minds and consciences are polluted. ¹⁶ They profess to know God; but in their actions they disown Him, and are detestable and disobedient men, and for any good work are utterly useless.

For which cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; ¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience have become defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God; but by their works they deny Him; being abominable, and disobedient, and for every good work worthless.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and for their knowledge of the Truth that goes with a religious life, ² serving in hope of the life eternal which God, who never lies, promised ages ago — ³ he gave effect to his word in due time by a proclamation with which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour: — ⁴ to Titus my lawful son in a faith we hold in common; grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. ⁵ I left you behind in Crete in order to finish putting things right and to appoint presbyters in every town as I told you, ⁶ men who are above reproach, only once married, with children who believe and who are not liable to the charge of being profligate or insubordinate. ⁷ [For a bishop must be above reproach — he is a steward of God's house — he must not be presumptuous or hot-tempered or a drunkard or violent or addicted to pilfering; ⁸ he must be hospitable, a lover of goodness, master of himself, a just man, a religious man, and abstemious; ⁹ he must hold by the sure truths of doctrine so as to be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and refute objections raised by any.] ¹⁰ For there are plenty of insubordinate creatures who impose on people with their empty arguments, particularly those who have come over from Judaism; ¹¹ they must be silenced, for they are undermining whole families by teaching objectionable doctrine for the base end of making money. ¹² It has been said by one of themselves, by a prophet of their own, that — "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." ¹³ That is a true statement. So deal sharply with them, to have them sound in the faith ¹⁴ instead of studying Jewish myths and rules laid down by men who have discarded the Truth. ¹⁵ For the pure all things are pure, but nothing is pure for the polluted and unbelieving; their very mind and conscience are polluted. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable, disobedient, and useless for good work of any kind.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to arouse faith in those whom God has chosen, and the comprehension of religious truth, ² in the hope of eternal life, which God who never lies promised ages ago, ³ and revealed at the proper time in his message, through the preaching with which I have been intrusted at the command of God our Savior, ⁴ to Titus, my true child in our common faith; God our Father and Christ Jesus our Savior bless you and give you peace. ⁵ I left you behind in Crete expressly to correct what defects there were, and to appoint elders in each town, as I directed you— ⁶ men of irreproachable character, who have been married only once, whose children are Christians, free from any suspicion of profligacy or disobedience. ⁷ For as God's overseer a superintendent must be irreproachable, not arrogant or quick-tempered or given to drink or pugnacious or addicted to dishonest gain, ⁸ but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sensible, upright, of holy life, self-controlled, ⁹ standing by the message that can be relied on, just as he was taught it, so that he may be qualified both to encourage others with wholesome teaching and to show the error of those who oppose him. ¹⁰ For there are many undisciplined people, who deceive themselves with their empty talk, especially those of the party of circumcision. ¹¹ They must be silenced, for such men upset whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach, for the sake of dishonest gain. ¹² It was a Cretan, a prophet of their own, who said, "Cretans are always liars, savage brutes, lazy gluttons," ¹³ and that statement is true. Therefore correct them rigorously, to make them have a healthy faith, ¹⁴ and not study Jewish fictions or commands given by men who reject the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure everything is pure, but to the evil-minded and unbelieving nothing is pure, but their very minds and consciences are unclean. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but they disown him by what they do; they are detestable, disobedient men, worthless for any good purpose.

For this reason rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not giving attention to Jewish myths and rules laid down by men who are turning away from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To Titus, my true son in a common faith, from Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and to the knowledge of the truth which goes with piety; ² I write in hope of life eternal which God who never lies, promised before times eternal, ³ but manifested in his own time; that word of his in proclaiming which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour. ⁴ Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. ⁵ I left you in Crete for this reason, that you might set right the things left unfinished, and appoint presbyters in every city as I had instructed you; ⁶ men who are blameless, the husband of one wife, with believing children who are not accused of riot or insubordination. ⁷ For indeed a presiding officer, as God's steward, ought to be blameless, not self-willed or quick-tempered, not a drunkard or violent, or greedy of filthy lucre; ⁸ but he must be hospitable, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled. ⁹ He must hold to the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may be able both to encourage by sound teaching, and to confute our opponents. ¹⁰ For there are many individuals who are unruly, empty talkers and deceivers, particularly those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped; ¹¹ for they upset whole households and, for filthy lucre's sake, teach what they ought not to teach. ¹² By one of their own number, by a prophet of their own, it has been said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons." ¹³ This testimony is true. So rebuke them sharply, ¹⁴ 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. ¹⁵ All things are pure to the pure; but to the contaminated and the faithless nothing is pure, nay, their very minds and consciences are tainted. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but by their deeds they disown him; in that they are detestable, disobedient, and reprobate for good work of any sort.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, in the faith of GodÆs elect, and in the knowledge of true godliness; ² In the hope of eternal life, which the true God promised ages ago; ³ And has in due time revealed his word by our preaching; which preaching has been intrusted to me by the command of God our Saviour; ⁴ To Titus, a true son in the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father, and the LORD Jesus Christ our Saviour. ⁵ For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are wanting and ordain elders in every city where there is a need as I had commanded you. ⁶ Appoint only an elder who is blameless, and the husband of one wife, and one who has faithful children who do not swear and who are not intemperate. ⁷ For an elder must be blameless, as a steward of God; and he must not be self-willed, not quick tempered, not excessive in the use of wine, not too ready to strike with his hand, not a lover of filthy lucre; ⁸ But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good things, sober, just, pious, and temperate of worldly desires; ⁹ Holding fast the doctrine of faith, so that he may be able to comfort by his sound doctrine, and to rebuke those who are proud. ¹⁰ For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers of the people, especially those who belong to the circumcision: ¹¹ Whose mouths must be stopped, for they corrupt many families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of filthy lucre. ¹² One of them, even a prophet of their own, said, The CreÆtians are always liars, vicious beasts with empty bellies. ¹³ This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; ¹⁴ And not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who hate the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure, all things are pure: but nothing is pure to those who are defiled and faithless; even their mind and conscience is defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but in works they deny him, and they are abominable, and disobedient, condemning every kind of good work.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a slave of God, yet an apostle of Jesus Christ, in accord with the faith of God's chosen, and a realization of the truth, which accords with devoutness, ² in expectation of life eonian, which God, Who does not lie, promises before times eonian, ³ yet manifests His word in its own eras by heralding, with which I was entrusted, according to the injunction of God, our Saviour, ⁴ to Titus, a genuine child according to the common faith: Grace and peace from God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Saviour." ⁵ On this behalf I left you in Crete, that you should amend what is lacking and constitute elders city by city, as I prescribe to you." ⁶ If anyone is unimpeachable, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not under the accusation of profligacy or insubordinate -" ⁷ for the supervisor must be unimpeachable as an administrator of God, not given to self-gratification, not irritable, no toper, not quarrelsome, not avaricious;" ⁸ but hospitable, fond of that which is good, sane, just, benign, self-controlled;" ⁹ upholding the faithful word according to the teaching, that he may be able to entreat with sound teaching as well as to expose those who contradict." ¹⁰ For many are insubordinate, vain praters and imposters, especially those of the Circumcision, ¹¹ who must be gagged, who are subverting whole households, teaching what they must not, on behalf of sordid gain." ¹² One of them, their own prophet, said: "Cretans are ever liars, evil wild beasts, idle bellies." ¹³ This testimony is true. For which cause be exposing them severely, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not heeding Jewish myths and precepts of men who are turning from the truth. ¹⁵ All, indeed, is clean to the clean, yet to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is clean, but their mind as well as conscience is defiled." ¹⁶ They are avowing an acquaintance with God, yet by their acts are denying it, being abominable and stubborn, and disqualified for every good act."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to stimulate faith in God's chosen people and to lead them on to a full knowledge of religious truth, ² in the hope of eternal life which God, who never lies, promised ages ago ³ but at the proper time made known as His message through the message that I preach with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Saviour; ⁴ to Titus, my genuine child in our common faith: be spiritual blessing and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. ⁵ I left you in Crete for this express purpose, to set in order the things that are lacking, and to appoint elders in each town, as I directed you -- ⁶ each elder must be above reproach, have only one wife, and his children must not be liable to the charge of profligacy or disobedience. ⁷ For as God's trustee a pastor must be above reproach, not stubborn or quick-tempered or addicted to strong drink or pugnacious or addicted to dishonest gain, ⁸ but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sensible, upright, of pure life, self-controlled, ⁹ and a man who continues to cling to the trustworthy message as he was taught it, so that he may be competent to encourage others with wholesome teaching and to convict those who oppose him. ¹⁰ For there are many insubordinate people, mere talkers with nothing to say, but deceivers of their own minds, especially those of the circumcision party, ¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped, for they upset whole families by teaching things they ought not to think, for the sake of dishonest gain. ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own countrymen, has said, "Cretans are always liars, wicked brutes, lazy bellies." ¹³ Now this tendency is true. So continue correcting them severely, that they may be healthy in faith, ¹⁴ by ceasing to give attention to Jewish myths and to the commands of men who turn their backs on the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure everything is pure, but to the impure and unbelieving nothing is pure, but their very minds and consciences are impure. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but by their actions they disown Him; they are detestable, disobedient, and useless for anything good.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion, ² In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true; ³ Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher; ⁴ To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. ⁵ I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you; ⁶ Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled. ⁷ For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself; ⁸ But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled; ⁹ Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters. ¹⁰ For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped. ¹² One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work. ¹³ This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith, ¹⁴ Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge. ¹⁵ To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought. ¹⁶ They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.

SALUTATION
Paulos, a servant of Elohim and an apostle of Yah Shua Messiah, according to the trust of the select of Elohim; and the knowledge of the truth according to reverence ² in hope of eternal life; that the non-pseudo Elohim pre-evangelized preceding eternal times; ³ and in his own seasons manifests his word in preaching that which is entrusted to me according to the order of Elohim our Saviour: ⁴ To Titus - genuine child according to common trust: Charism, mercy and shalom, from Elohim the Father and Adonay Yah Shua Messiah our Saviour. ⁵
SEATING OFFICERS
For this cause I left you in Crete to arrange what lacked; to seat elders in every city as I ordained you: ⁶ if any be unaccusable, the man of one woman, having trustworthy children, who are not under accusation of dissipation or insubordination. ⁷ For an episcopate, as the administrator of Elohim, must be unaccusable, neither selfpleasing nor wrathful, nor a winesop, nor a striker, nor avaricious; ⁸ but befriend strangers, befriend good, soundminded, just, merciful, self-controlled, ⁹ upholding the trustworthy word of doctrine; to be capable in sound doctrine both to beseech and reprove the contradicters. ¹⁰
EXPOSING INSUBORDINATES
For there are many insubordinate mataeologists and thought deluders - specially those of the circumcision ¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped; who overturn whole houses doctrinating what they must not for shameful gain. ¹² One of them - their own prophet said, The Cretians are ever liars, evil beasts, idle wombs. ¹³ This witness is true. For which cause reprove them severely to be sound in the trust; ¹⁴ not giving heed to Yah Hudaic myths and misvoth of humanity that turn from the truth. ¹⁵ Indeed, to the pure, all are pure: and to the defiled and trustless, naught is pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know Elohim; but in works they deny: being abominable and distrusting and disapproved to every good work.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ [This letter is from] Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle for [the benefit of] the faith of God’s elect [i.e., His chosen people] and [to spread] the knowledge of the truth which leads to godliness, ² [and provides] hope for never ending life. God, who cannot lie, promised this [life] before the beginning of time, ³ but at the proper time revealed [it] through the message entrusted to me to proclaim, by the commandment of God our Savior. ⁴ [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. ⁵ The reason I left you in Crete [Note: This was an island in the Mediterranean Sea off the southern coast of Greece] was so you could set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city [i.e., where there was a church], as I directed you. ⁶ [An elder must] not be guilty of just blame, [he must be] the husband of one wife, whose children are believers [Note: The word for “believers” may also be translated “faithful ones” or “trustworthy ones”], who have a reputation for not being wild or disobedient. ⁷ As God’s manager [of the church], an overseer must be free from just blame, not a drunkard, not a fighter [and] not in love with money. ⁸ [He must be] hospitable, someone who loves what is good, sensible, upright, devout and self-controlled. ⁹ [He must] hold on firmly to the trustworthy message, which is according to [our] teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort people with sound teaching and to convince those who contradict it. ¹⁰ For there are many rebellious people, especially among the circumcision [i.e., the Jews], whose talk is useless and who deceive people. ¹¹ They must be silenced [because] they are upsetting entire families by teaching things they should not be for the shameful purpose of making money. ¹² Even one of their own prophets said, “The people of Crete are always liars, vicious beasts and lazy gluttons.” ¹³ [And] this testimony is true. [So], for this reason you should rebuke them severely, so that they will be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ instead of paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who reject the truth. ¹⁵ Everything is pure [i.e., ceremonially acceptable] to the person who is pure [i.e., who has been cleansed by the blood of Christ], but to those who are [spiritually] corrupt, and do not believe [in Christ], nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted. [Note: This statement was intended to remove the physical restrictions imposed by the law of Moses]. ¹⁶ These people claim to know God [as Savior], but they deny Him by their actions, so they are detestable and disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

4 G5103 to Titus, G1103 my true G5043 child G2596 according G2839 to a common G4102 faith: G5485 Grace, G1656 mercy, G1515 and peace G575 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G2532 and G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G4990 Savior.

5 G2641 I G4571 left you G1722 in G2914 Crete G5127 for this G2443 reason, that G4571 you G1930 would set in order G3588 the things G2532 that were lacking, and G2525 appoint G4245 elders G1473 in G2596 every G4172 city, G5613 as G1473 I G1299 directed G4671 you;

6 G1487 if G5100 anyone G2076 is G410 blameless, G435 the husband G1520 of one G1135 wife, G2192 having G5043 children G4103 who believe, G3361 who are not G2724 accused G810 of loose G2228 or G506 unruly behavior.

7 G1063 For G1985 the overseer G1163 must G1511 be G410 blameless, G5613 as G2316 God's G3623 steward; G3361 not G829 self-pleasing, G3361 not G3711 easily angered, G3361 not G3943 given to wine, G3361 not G4131 violent, G3361 not G146 greedy for dishonest gain;

8 G235 but G5382 given to hospitality, G5358 a lover of good, G4998 sober G1342 minded, fair, G3741 holy, G1468 self-controlled;

10 G1063 For G1526 there are G4183 also many G506 unruly G2532 men, G3151 vain talkers G2532 and G5423 deceivers, G3122 especially G3588 those G1537 of G4061 the circumcision,

12 G5100 One G1537 of G4396 them, a prophet G1537 of G846 their G2398 own, G2036 said, G2912 "Cretans G104 are always G5583 liars, G2556 evil G2342 beasts, G692 and idle G1064 gluttons."

13 G3778 This G3141 testimony G2076 is G227 true. G1223 For this cause, G1651 reprove G846 them G664 sharply, G2443 that G5198 they may be sound G1722 in G156 the faith,

14 G3361 not G4337 paying attention to G2451 Jewish G3454 fables G2532 and G1785 commandments G444 of men G654 who turn away from G225 the truth.

15 G2513 To the pure, G3956 all things G2513 are pure; G1161 but G3392 to those who are defiled G2532 and G571 unbelieving, G3762 nothing G2513 is pure; G235 but G2532 both G846 their G3563 mind G2532 and G846 their G4893 conscience G3392 are defiled.

16 G3670 They profess G1492 that they know G2316 God, G1161 but G2041 by their works G720 they deny G5607 him, being G947 abominable, G545 disobedient, G2532 and G96 unfit G4314 for G3956 any G18 good G2041 work.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God’s elect and a real knowledge of the truth that accords with godliness, ² in hope of eternal life —which life God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time ³ but has manifested by a proclamation of His Word at chosen times, which word was entrusted to me by the command of our Savior God; ⁴ to Titus, a true son in a common faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from Father God and Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior. ⁵ I left you in Crete for this reason, that you should set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every town as I directed you ⁶ —if a man is blameless, a one-woman man, having children who believe and who are not open to the charge of being wild or disobedient. ⁷ Because as an administrator under God the overseer must be blameless; not self-willed, not hotheaded, not given to wine, not a bully, not avaricious; ⁸ but rather hospitable, a lover of what is good, prudent, just, holy, disciplined; ⁹ holding fast the trustworthy Word as taught, so that he may be competent both to exhort with the sound doctrine and to correct those who oppose it. ¹⁰ Because there really are lots of rebels, loudmouths and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group, ¹¹ who must be silenced—they are ruining whole households, teaching things that they ought not, and for dishonest gain! ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” ¹³ This testimony is true. Therefore correct them rigorously, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not paying attention to Jewish fables or to commands of men who are rejecting the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; in fact, both their minds and their consciences are defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him, being detestable, disobedient and disqualified for any good work.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, God's slave (a slave of God; one bound to, subjected under and owned by God), yet one sent away with a commission (as an emissary, envoy or ambassador) from, pertaining to and belonging to Jesus Christ (or: a representative of Jesus [the] Anointed), with a view to and corresponding to [the] faith of God's chosen folks (or: in line with a trust and loyalty possessed by and characteristic of God's selected and picked-out ones) and the full, accurate and precise intimate knowledge and experiential insight of Truth and Reality – the [truth and reality] corresponding to and in accord with reverence (or: down from goodness which produces virtuous conduct with devoutness, and in line with ease from a true relation to God) – ² [based; standing] upon an expectation (or: hope) of and from eonian life (life having the quality and characteristics of, and its source in, the Age [of Messiah]; life for and throughout the ages) which the non-lying God (the God without falseness) promised – before eonian times (prior to the times belonging to the ages). ³ Now He manifests (or: brought into clear light) His Logos (His Word; the Thought from Him; the Reason, Idea, communication and expression from Him; the discourse pertaining to Him; and the message which is Him) in Its (or: His; or: their) own seasons, fitting situations and fertile moments within (or: in the midst of) a proclamation by a herald – which I, myself, was made to trust and believe – down from, in accord with and corresponding to a full arrangement (or: a setting-upon; a complete disposition; a precise placing in order; an injunction) of and from God, our Savior (Deliverer; Rescuer; Restorer to health, wholeness and our original condition). ⁴ To Titus, a genuine born-one (legitimate child [one born in wedlock]) down from and corresponding to a common and partnered (equally owned, shared and participated-in) faith, trust and loyalty: Grace (or: Favor), and peace [= shalom; A, C2 & others: mercy; compassion], [are; continue coming] from Father God (or: God [the] Father) – even Christ Jesus, our Deliverer (or: and [the] Anointed Jesus, our Savior, Rescuer and Restorer to health, wholeness and our original condition; as well as from [the Messiah], Jesus, our Safe-keeper). ⁵ From the source of, and because of, this grace and favor, I left [other MSS: was leaving] you off in Crete, so that you, yourself, could correct and amend – so as to be fully straight throughout the midst – the things habitually lacking, leaving defects or remaining undone, and [so] you, yourself, could thoroughly establish [the] older folks (or: correspondingly make [the] elders to stand fast and be firm), city by city, as I, myself, made thorough arrangements for you. ⁶ [Now] if anyone is normally not one being called up, or arraigned, before a judge (= habitually exists being one free from reproach); [is] a husband of one woman (or: wife), having trusting and believing children (or: born-ones that are full of faith); [is] not one in the midst of a [legal] charge (or: an accusation; being considered in a category) of being a person without healthful wholeness (or: of being unwholesome; being in a desperate case without hope of safety; being prodigal; being wasteful; being on an unsaved course; being incorrigible; being dissolute and debauched) nor [of] insubordinate [qualities] (things not put in submission; things not placed under the arrangement; un-subjected and unruly [traits]) ⁷ – for you see, it continues binding and necessary for the person who sets his eyes upon the distant goal, having a full-scope view, and successfully hits the target (or: the one who surveys, inspects and watches upon; the scout; the tender guardian who oversees with attentive care) to continue being one [that is] not normally called up, or arraigned, before a judge (= to habitually exist being one free from reproach). As God's house administrator (house manager; house dispenser and distributor; estate steward), [he should] not [be] one who pleases himself (or: gives himself to pleasure): not impulsive (prone to passion, irritation or anger; not ruled by his own mental bent, disposition or propensities; not one teeming with internal swelling or motion), not addicted to wine (or: beside himself with wine; = not a drunk), not quarrelsome and apt to strike another, not one eager for dishonorable, deformed or ugly gain. ⁸ But to the contrary, [he should be] fond of strangers (have affection for foreigners; be hospitable), [be] fond of the good and have affection for virtue and excellence, [be] whole, healthy and liberated (sound) in frame of mind and disposition ([be] sane), [be] fair and equitable, and in rightwised relationships within the Way pointed out, [be] loyal, dutiful and pure from all crime, [produce] inner strength ([be] self-controlled), ⁹ habitually holding himself firmly to (or: clinging face-to-face to) the full-of-faith Word (message; thought; idea; Logos; or: the faithful word) – down from, corresponding to and in line with the Teaching and training – to the end that he can be powerful and able both to be constantly encouraging (habitually performing as a paraclete; repeatedly exhorting; continually calling folks alongside to give them assistance or relief) in the teaching that continues being sound and healthy, and to repeatedly put to the proof so as to convince by demonstration, or to refute by exposure of the test, the folks habitually speaking in opposition and contradicting. ¹⁰ You see, many folks, especially those from out of the Circumcision (= the Jews), are (constantly exist being) insubordinate ones (not submitted to the arrangement; un-subjected to the order), empty, vain and profitless talkers, even seducers of the intellect (deceivers of the mind; people who mislead thinking), ¹¹ who it continues necessary to repeatedly muzzle (gag; put something upon their mouth; or: reign them in), who are habitually turning-back whole households [i.e., into the Law cultus of Judaism] (or: = constantly upsetting entire families), repeatedly teaching things which it is binding to not [teach]: a “grace” of ugly (deformed; disgraceful) profit, gain or advantage! ¹² A certain one of them, their own prophet (= poet), said, "Cretans [are] always (or: ever) liars, worthless little wild animals (little beasts of bad quality), inactive and idle bellies (= unemployed gluttons)." ¹³ This witness (or: testimony [of the poet Epimenides]) is true (genuine; real). Because of which case and cause, be repeatedly cross-examining them abruptly while cutting away [at the case] and bringing the question to the proof, so as to test and decide the dispute and expose the matter – to the end that they can be sound and healthy within the Faith and in union with trust and loyalty, ¹⁴ not habitually holding to (having [a propensity] toward; heeding and clinging in the direction toward) Jewish myths (or: fictions; or, possibly: oral traditions) and to implanted goals (impartations of a finished product within; inward directives; commands) whose source and origin is people (or: human commandments) [thus] continually being twisted and turned away from the Truth (or: reality). ¹⁵ To the pure folks, everything [is] pure (or: All things [are] clean for, with and in the clean ones). Yet to (or: for; in; with) those having been stained and remaining defiled (corrupted; polluted), and to (or: for; in) faithless people (those without trust; unbelieving ones), nothing is pure or clean – but rather, their mind, as well as the conscience, has been – and now remains – stained, defiled and corrupted. ¹⁶ They are repeatedly adopting the same terms of language, and habitually making confession and avowing to have perceived and now know God, yet they are constantly denying (repudiating; disowning; refusing) [this] by the works (in the actions and things done), continuing being detestable (abominable), incompliant (stubborn; disobedient; unpersuasive) and disqualified (disapproved; rejected after trial) with a view toward every good work (excellent and virtuous activity).

He will have children that believe and who are not accused of violence and disobedience. ⁷ The overseer must be blameless as God's steward. He must not be self-willed, not prone to anger, not a brawler, and not violent (quarrelsome) (pugnacious), not greedy of dishonest gain. ⁸ but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled; ⁹ holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to reprove (refute) (rebuke) those who contradict. ¹⁰ There are many unruly (rebellious) men, vain talkers, and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision. ¹¹ They must be stopped. Their mouths must be shut up, for they subvert entire households. They teach things that should not be taught, for the sake of dishonest gain. ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own, said: »Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.« ¹³ This testimony is true. For this cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure. Both their mind and their conscience are defiled. ¹⁶ They profess that they know God; but deny him by their works! They are detestable, disobedient, and not approved for any good work.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ GreetingsFrom: Paul, a servant of God, and also an apostle of Jesus the Messiah, to bring the faith to those chosen by God, along with full knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness, ² which is based on the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began. ³ At the right time he revealed his message through the proclamation that was entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
⁴ To: Titus, a genuine child in the faith that we share.
May grace and peace from God the Father and the Messiah, Jesus our Savior, be yours!
⁵ Qualifications for Leaders in the ChurchThe reason I left you in Crete was to complete what still needed to be done and to appoint elders in every city, as I myself commanded you. ⁶ An elder must be blameless. He must be the husband of one wife and have children who are believers and who are not accused of having wild lifestyles or of being rebellious. ⁷ Because an overseer is God’s servant manager, he must be blameless. He must not be arrogant or irritable. He must not drink too much, be a violent person, or make money in shameful ways. ⁸ Instead, he must be hospitable to strangers, must appreciate what is good, and be sensible, honest, moral, and self-controlled. ⁹ He must be devoted to the trustworthy message that agrees with what we teach, so that he may be able to encourage others with healthy doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
¹⁰ Guard What is TrueFor there are many people who are rebellious, especially those who are converts from Judaism. They speak utter nonsense and deceive people. ¹¹ They must be silenced, because they are the kind of people who ruin whole families by teaching what they should not teach in order to make money in a shameful way. ¹² One of their very own prophets said, “Liars ever, men of Crete, savage brutes that live to eat.”
¹³ That statement is true. For this reason, refute them sharply so that they may become healthy in the faith ¹⁴ and not pay attention to Jewish myths or commands given by people who reject the truth. ¹⁵ Everything is clean to those who are clean, but nothing is clean to those who are corrupt and unbelieving. Indeed, their very way of thinking and their consciences have been corrupted. ¹⁶ They claim to know God, but they deny him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, and disqualified to do anything good.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of the chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness, ² in the hope of eternal life which God, who does not lie, promised before eternal ages, ³ but at the proper time has disclosed his message in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the command of God our Savior, ⁴ to Titus, my true child according to a common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. ⁵ On account of this, I left you behind in Crete, in order that what remains may be set in order and you may appoint elders in every town, as I ordered you. ⁶ If anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful* children, not _⌊accused of dissipation_⌋* or rebellious. ⁷ For it is necessary for the overseer to be blameless as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain, ⁸ but hospitable, loving what is good, prudent, just, devout, self-controlled, ⁹ holding fast to the faithful message according to the teaching, in order that he may be able both to exhort with sound instruction and to reprove those who speak against it. ¹⁰ For there are many rebellious people, idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ whom it is necessary to silence, whoever are ruining whole families by* teaching things which must not be taught for the sake of dishonest gain. ¹² A certain one of them, one of their own prophets, has said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." ¹³ This testimony is true, for which reason reprove them severely, in order that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who turn away from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and conscience are defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny him, because they* are detestable and disobedient, and unfit for every good deed.

⁴ To Titus, my genuine child according to our common faith: grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.
⁵ Because of this, I left you in Crete, in order that you might amend the things which are deficient and should designate elders in every city, as I commanded you. ⁶ If anyone is irreproachable, the husband of one wife, having believing children, who is not in an accusation of riotousness or rebellious. ⁷ For it is essential for the overseer to be irreproachable as God’s steward; not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not a drunkard, not a bully, not covetous; ⁸ but hospitable, who loves good, sensible, just, holy, self-controlled; ⁹ holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, in order that he may be able also to encourage in the sound teaching and to convict those who contradict it.
¹⁰ For there are many even rebellious men, empty-talkers and deceivers, especially those out of the circumcision, ¹¹ whom it is essential to gag; men who are perverting whole houses, teaching things which they ought not teach, because of shameful gain. ¹² Someone from them, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are habitually liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons. ¹³ This testimony is true.

7 G1063 Denn G1985 der Aufseher G1163 muß G410 untadelig G1511 sein G5613 als G2316 Gottes G3623 Verwalter, G3361 nicht G829 eigenmächtig, G3361 nicht G3711 zornmütig, G3361 nicht G3943 dem Wein ergeben, G3361 nicht G4131 ein Schläger, G3361 nicht G146 schändlichem Gewinn nachgehend,

8 G235 sondern G5382 gastfrei, G5358 das Gute liebend, G4998 besonnen, G1342 gerecht, G3741 fromm, G1468 enthaltsam,

9 G472 anhangend G4103 dem zuverlässigen G3056 Worte G2596 nach G1322 der Lehre, G2443 auf daß G1415 er fähig G5600 sei, G2532 sowohl G1722 mit G5198 der gesunden G1319 Lehre G3870 zu ermahnen, G2532 als auch G483 die Widersprechenden G1651 zu überführen.

10 G1063 Denn G1526 es gibt G4183 viele G506 zügellose G3151 Schwätzer G2532 und G5423 Betrüger, G3122 besonders G1537 die aus G4061 der Beschneidung,

11 G3739 denen G1993 man den Mund stopfen G1163 muß, G3748 welche G3650 ganze G3624 Häuser G396 umkehren, G5484 indem sie um G150 schändlichen G2771 Gewinnes G5484 willen G1321 lehren, G3739 was G1163 sich G3361 nicht G1163 geziemt.

12 G2036 Es hat G5100 einer G1537 aus G846 ihnen, G846 ihr G2398 eigener G4396 Prophet, G2036 gesagt: G2912 "Kreter G104 sind immer G5583 Lügner, G2556 böse, G2342 wilde Tiere, G692 faule G1064 Bäuche".

13 G3778 Dieses G3141 Zeugnis G2076 ist G227 wahr; G1223 um G156 dieser Ursache G3739 G1223 willen G1651 weise G846 sie G664 streng G1651 zurecht, G2443 auf daß G5198 sie gesund G1722 seien im G4102 Glauben

15 G2513 Den Reinen G3956 G3303 ist alles G2513 rein; G3392 den Befleckten G1161 aber G2532 und G571 Ungläubigen G2513 ist G3762 nichts G2513 rein, G235 sondern G3392 befleckt G2532 ist sowohl G846 ihre G3563 Gesinnung, G2532 als auch G4893 ihr Gewissen.

16 G3670 Sie geben vor, G2316 Gott G1492 zu kennen, G1161 aber G2041 in den Werken G720 verleugnen G5607 sie ihn und sind G947 greulich G2532 und G545 ungehorsam G2532 und G4314 zu G3956 jedem G18 guten G2041 Werke G96 unbewährt.

2 G1909 lesquelles reposent sur G1680 l’espérance G2222 de la vie G166 éternelle G1861 , promise G5662 G3739 G4253 dès G166 les plus anciens G5550 temps G2316 par le Dieu G893 qui ne ment point,

3 G1161 et G5319 qui a manifesté G5656 G846 sa G3056 parole G2398 en son G2540 temps G1722 par G2782 la prédication G3739 qui G1473 m G4100 ’a été confiée G5681 G2596 d’après G2003 l’ordre G2316 de Dieu G2257 notre G4990 Sauveur,

4 G5103 à Tite G5043 , mon enfant G1103 légitime G2596 en G2839 notre commune G4102 foi G5485 : que la grâce G1515 et la paix G575 te soient données de la part de G2316 Dieu G3962 le Père G2532 et G2424 de Jésus G5547 -Christ G2257 notre G4990 Sauveur !

5 G4571 ¶ Je t G2641 ’ai laissé G5627 G1722 en G2914 Crète G2443 , afin G5127 G5484 G1930 que tu mettes en ordre G5672 G3007 ce qui reste à régler G5723 G2532 , et G5613 que, selon G1473 mes G1299 instructions G5668 G4671 G2525 , tu établisses G5661 G4245 des anciens G2596 dans G4172 chaque ville,

6 G1536 ¶ s’il s’y trouve quelque homme G2076 G5748 G410 irréprochable G435 , mari G3391 d’une G1135 seule femme G2192 , ayant G5723 G5043 des enfants G4103 fidèles G3361 , qui ne G1722 G2228 soient ni G2724 accusés G810 de débauche G506 ni rebelles.

7 G1063 Car G1163 il faut G5748 G1985 que l’évêque G1511 soit G5750 G410 irréprochable G5613 , comme G3623 économe G2316 de Dieu G3361 ; qu’il ne G829 soit ni arrogant G3361 , ni G3711 colère G3361 , ni G3943 adonné au vin G3361 , ni G4131 violent G3361 , ni G146 porté à un gain déshonnête ;

8 G235 mais G5382 qu’il soit hospitalier G5358 , ami des gens de bien G4998 , modéré G1342 , juste G3741 , saint G1468 , tempérant,

9 G472 attaché G5740 G4103 à la vraie G3056 parole G2596 telle G1322 qu’elle a été enseignée G2532 , G2443 afin G5600 d’être G5753 G1415 capable G3870 d’exhorter G5721 G1722 selon G5198 la saine G5723 G1319 doctrine G2532 et G1651 de réfuter G5721 G483 les contradicteurs G5723 .

10 G1526 Il y a G5748 G1063 , en effet G3122 , surtout G1537 parmi G4061 les circoncis G4183 , beaucoup de gens G506 rebelles G2532 , G3151 de vains discoureurs G2532 et G5423 de séducteurs,

11 G3739 auxquels G1163 il faut G5748 G1993 fermer la bouche G5721 G3748 . Ils G396 bouleversent G5719 G3624 des familles G3650 entières G1321 , enseignant G5723 G5484 pour G2771 un gain G150 honteux G3739 ce G1163 qu’on ne doit G5748 G3361 pas enseigner.

12 G5100 L’un G1537 d’entre G846 eux G846 , leur G2398 propre G4396 prophète G2036 , a dit G5627 G2912 : Crétois G104 toujours G5583 menteurs G2556 , méchantes G2342 bêtes G1064 , ventres G692 paresseux.

13 G3778 Ce G3141 témoignage G2076 est G5748 G227 vrai G1223 . C’est pourquoi G3739 G156 G1651 reprends G5720 G846 -les G664 sévèrement G2443 , afin G4102 qu’ils aient une foi G1722 G5198 saine G5725 ,

14 G2532 et G4337 qu’ils ne s’attachent G5723 G3361 pas G3454 à des fables G2451 judaïques G1785 et à des commandements G444 d’hommes G654 qui se détournent G5734 G225 de la vérité.

15 G3956 Tout G3303 G2513 est pur G2513 pour ceux qui sont purs G1161 ; mais G3762 rien G2513 n’est pur G3392 pour ceux qui sont souillés G5772 G2532 et G571 incrédules G2532 , G846 leur G235 G3563 intelligence G2532 et G4893 leur conscience G3392 sont souillées G5769 .

16 G3670 Ils font profession G5719 G1492 de connaître G5760 G2316 Dieu G1161 , mais G720 ils le renient G5736 G2041 par leurs œuvres G2532 , G5607 étant G5752 G947 abominables G545 , rebelles G2532 , et G96 incapables G4314 d G3956 ’aucune G18 bonne G2041 œuvre.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ në shpresën e jetës së përjetshme, të cilën Perëndia, që nuk gënjen, e premtoi para të gjitha kohërave, ² dhe që në kohë të caktuara e shfaqi fjalën e tij me anë të predikimit që m'u besua me urdhër të Perëndisë, Shpëtimtarit tonë, ³ Titit, birit të vërtetë në besimin e përbashkët: hir, mëshirë dhe paqe prej Perëndisë, Atit, dhe prej Zotit Jezu Krisht, Shpëtimtarit tonë. ⁴ Për këtë arsye të lashë në Kretë, që ti të ndreqësh mirë çështjet që janë për t'u bërë dhe që, në çdo qytet, të caktosh pleq, ashtu siç të porosita; ⁵ secili prej tyre të jetë i paqortueshëm, bashkëshort i një gruaje të vetme, të ketë fëmijë besimtarë, që të mos përfliten për jetë të shthurur dhe për pandëgjesë. ⁶ Sepse peshkopi, si administrues i shtëpisë së Perëndisë duhet të jetë i paqortueshëm, jo arrogant, jo zemërak, jo i dhënë pas verës, jo i dhunshëm, jo njeri që lakmon fitim të turpshëm, ⁷ por mikpritës, mirëdashës, i urtë, i drejtë, i shenjtë, i përmbajtur, ⁸ që mban fort fjalën besnike siç i është mësuar, që të jetë në gjëndje me doktrinën e shëndoshë të këshillojë dhe bindë ata që kundërshtojnë. ⁹ Sepse ka, veçanërisht ndërmjet atyre që janë nga rrethprerja, shumë të pabindur, llafazanë dhe mashtrues, të cilëve u duhet mbyllur goja; ¹⁰ këta ngatërrojnë familje të tëra, duke mësuar ato që s'duhet, për fitim të ndyrë. ¹¹ Një prej tyre, pikërisht një profet i tyre, tha: "Kretasit janë gjithnjë gënjeshtarë, egërsira të këqija, barkpërtacë!" ¹² Kjo dëshmi është e vërtetë; prandaj qortoji me ashpërsi, që të shëndoshen në besim, ¹³ pa u vënë vesh përrallave të Judenjve dhe urdhërimeve të njerëzve që largohen nga e vërteta. ¹⁴ Gjithçka është e pastër për ata që janë të pastër, por asgjë nuk është e pastër për të ndoturit dhe për ata që nuk besojnë; madje edhe mendja, edhe ndërgjegja e tyre janë të ndotura. ¹⁵ Ata pohojnë se njohin Perëndinë, po me vepra e mohojnë, sepse janë të neveritshëm, të pabindur dhe të pazotë për çfarëdo vepre të mirë. ¹⁶ Por ti shpall ato që përkojnë me doktrinën e shëndoshë:

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Павел, раб Божий, Апостол же Иисуса Христа, по вереизбранных Божиих и познанию истины, относящейся к благочестию, ² в надежде вечной жизни, которую обещал неизменный в слове Бог прежде вековых времен, ³ а в свое время явил Свое слово в проповеди, вверенной мне по повелению Спасителя нашего, Бога, – ⁴ Титу, истинному сыну по общей вере: благодать, милость и мир от Бога Отца и Господа Иисуса Христа, Спасителя нашего. ⁵ Для того я оставил тебя в Крите, чтобы ты довершил недоконченное и поставил по всем городам пресвитеров, как я тебе приказывал: ⁶ если кто непорочен, муж одной жены, детей имеет верных, не укоряемых в распутстве или непокорности. ⁷ Ибо епископ должен быть непорочен, как Божий домостроитель, не дерзок, не гневлив, не пьяница, не бийца, не корыстолюбец, ⁸ но страннолюбив, любящий добро, целомудрен, справедлив, благочестив, воздержан, ⁹ держащийся истинного слова, согласного с учением, чтобы он был силен и наставлять в здравом учениии противящихся обличать. ¹⁰ Ибо есть много и непокорных, пустословов и обманщиков, особенно из обрезанных, ¹¹ каковым должно заграждать уста: ониразвращают целые домы, уча, чему не должно, из постыдной корысти. ¹² Из них же самих один стихотворец сказал: „Критяне всегда лжецы, злые звери, утробы ленивые". ¹³ Свидетельство это справедливо. По сей причине обличай их строго, дабы они были здравы в вере, ¹⁴ не внимая Иудейским басням и постановлениям людей, отвращающихся от истины. ¹⁵ Для чистых все чисто; а для оскверненных и неверныхнет ничего чистого, но осквернены и ум их и совесть. ¹⁶ Они говорят, что знают Бога, а делами отрекаются,будучи гнусны и непокорны и не способны ни к какому доброму делу.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Павел, слуга на Бога и апостол на Иисус Христос според вярата на Божиите избрани и познаването на истината, която е според благочестието, ² в надежда за вечен живот, който Бог, който не лъже, е обещал преди вечни времена, ³ но в определеното време яви словото Си чрез посланието, поверено на мен по заповед на Бога, нашия Спасител, ⁴ до Тит, моето истинско по общата ни вяра дете: Благодат и мир от Бог Отец и Господ Иисус Христос, нашия Спасител! ⁵ Оставих те в Крит по тази причина – да сложиш в ред недовършеното и да поставиш старейшини във всеки град, както ти поръчах: ⁶ ако някой е непорочен, мъж на една жена и има верни деца, които не са обвинени в разпуснат живот или непокорство. ⁷ Защото надзорникът трябва да е безупречен, като Божи управител, не своеволен, нито сприхав, нито да се заседява при виното, нито побойник, нито да е лаком за пагубна печалба, ⁸ а гостолюбив, обичащ доброто, разбран, справедлив, благочестив, самообладан, ⁹ който здраво държи вярното слово така, както е бил научен, за да може и да увещава със здравото учение, и да изобличава онези, които противоречат. ¹⁰ Защото има много непокорни, празнословци и измамници, особено от обрязаните, ¹¹ чиито уста трябва да се запушат, които съсипват цели домове, като поучават заради гнусна печалба това, което не трябва. ¹² Един от тях, техен собствен пророк, е казал: Критяните са винаги лъжци, зли зверове, лениви търбуси. ¹³ Това свидетелство е вярно. По тази причина ги изобличавай строго, за да бъдат здрави във вярата, ¹⁴ като не обръщат внимание на юдейски басни и на заповеди от хора, които се отвръщат от истината. ¹⁵ За чистите всичко е чисто, а за осквернените и невярващите няма нищо чисто, а даже и умът им и съвестта им са осквернени. ¹⁶ Твърдят, че познават Бога, но с делата си Го отричат, като са отвратителни и непокорни, и негодни за никакво добро дело.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pavao, sluga Božji i apostol Isusa Krista poradi vjere izabranika Božjih i spoznanja istine usmjerene k pobožnosti ² u nadi života vječnoga što ga, prije vremena vjekovječnih, obeća Bog, On koji ne laže, ³ a u svoje doba očitova riječ svoju u propovijedanju koje je meni povjereno po odredbi Spasitelja našega, Boga: ⁴ Titu, pravomu sinu po zajedničkoj vjeri, milost i mir od Boga i Krista Isusa, Spasitelja našega! ⁵ Poradi toga ostavih te na Kreti da urediš preostalo te po gradovima postaviš starješine kako sam ti ja odredio: ⁶ je li tko besprigovoran, jedne žene muž, jesu li mu djeca vjernici i ne pod optužbom raskalašenosti ili nepokorna... ⁷ Jer nadstojnik kao Božji upravitelj treba da bude besprigovoran: ne samoživ, ne jedljiv, ne vinu sklon, ni nasilju, ni prljavu dobitku, ⁸ nego gostoljubiv, ljubitelj dobra, razuman, pravedan, svet, uzdržljiv, ⁹ priljubljen uz vjerodostojnu riječ nauka da može i hrabriti u zdravom nauku i uvjeravati protivnike. ¹⁰ Jer mnogi su nepokorni, praznorječni i zavodnici, ponajpače oni iz obrezanja. ¹¹ Njima treba začepiti usta jer cijele domove prevraćaju naučavajući što ne bi smjeli, i to poradi prljava dobitka. ¹² Reče netko od njih, njihov vlastiti prorok: "Krećani uvijek lašci, opake zvijeri, trbusi dangubni." ¹³ Svjedočanstvo je to istinito. Zato ih karaj oštro da budu zdravi u vjeri, ¹⁴ da ne prianjaju uza židovske bajke i propise ljudi koji se odvraćaju od istine. ¹⁵ Sve je čisto čistima; okaljanima pak i nevjernima ništa čisto, nego su im okaljani i razum i savjest. ¹⁶ Ispovijedaju da Boga poznaju, ali djelima ga niječu - odvratni, neposlušni i za koje god dobro djelo nepodesni.

A protož tresciž je přísně, ať jsou zdraví u víře, ¹⁴ Nešetříce Židovských básní, a přikázání lidí těch, jenž se odvracují od pravdy. ¹⁵ Všecko zajisté čisté jest čistým, poskvrněným pak a nevěřícím nic není čistého, ale poskvrněná jest i mysl jejich i svědomí. ¹⁶ Vypravují o tom, že Boha znají, ale skutky svými toho zapírají, ohavní jsouce, a nepoddaní, a ke všelikému skutku dobrému nehodní.

Desaarsag straf dem strengeligen, at de maa blive sunde i Troen, ¹⁴ og ikke agte paa jødiske Fabler og Menneskers Bud, som vende sig fra Sandheden. ¹⁵ Alt er vel reent for de Rene; men for de Besmittede og Vantroe er Intet reent, men baade deres Sind og Samvittighed er besmittet. ¹⁶ De foregive, at de kjende Gud, men fornægte ham med Gjerningerne, vederstyggelige som de ere, og ulydige og uduelige til al god Gjerning.

16 G3670 他們說是 G1492 認識 G2316 神 G2041 ，行事 G1161 卻 G720 和他相背 G5607 ；本是 G947 可憎惡的 G545 ，是悖逆的 G3956 ，在各樣 G18 善 G2041 事 G4314 上 G96 是可廢棄的。

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 神的仆人，耶稣基督的使徒保罗，凭着神选民的信心与敬虔真理的知识， ² 盼望那无谎言的神在万古之先所应许的永生， ³ 到了日期，藉着传扬的工夫把他的道显明了；这传扬的责任是按着神我们救主的命令交託了我。 ⁴ 现在写信给提多，就是照着我们共信之道作我真儿子的。愿恩惠、平安从父神和我们的救主基督耶稣归与你！ ⁵ 我从前留你在革哩底，是要你将那没冇办完的事都办整齐了，又照我所吩咐你的，在各城设立长老。 ⁶ 若冇无可指责的人，只作一个妇人的丈夫，儿女也是信主的，没冇人告他们是放蕩不服约束的，就可以设立。 ⁷ 监督既是神的管家，必须无可指责，不任性，不暴躁，不因酒滋事，不打人，不贪无义之财； ⁸ 乐意接待远人，好善，庄重，公平，圣洁自持； ⁹ 坚守所教真实的道理，就能将纯正的教训劝化人，又能把争辩的人驳倒了。 ¹⁰ 因为冇许多人不服约束，说虚空话欺哄人；那奉割礼的更是这样。 ¹¹ 这些人的口总要堵住。他们因贪不义之财，将不该教导的教导人，败坏人的全家。 ¹² 冇革哩底人中的一个本地先知说：革哩底人常说谎话，乃是恶兽又馋又懒。 ¹³ 这个见證是真的。所以，你要严严的责备他们，使他们在真道上纯全无疵， ¹⁴ 不听犹太人荒渺的言语和离弃真道之人的诫命。 ¹⁵ 在洁净的人，凡物都洁净；在污秽不信的人，甚么都不洁净，连心地和天良也都污秽了。 ¹⁶ 他们说是认识神，行事却和他相背；本是可憎恶的，是悖逆的，在各样善事上是可废弃的。

Bondye pa janm manti, li te pwòmèt lavi sa a depi lontan anvan li te kreye tout bagay. ³ Lè lè li te fikse a rive, li fè nou konnen lavi sa a ak pawòl li, nan mesaj li te renmèt mwen pou m' fè konnen, dapre lòd Bondye, Sovè nou an, te ban mwen. ⁴ M'ap ekri ou lèt sa a, Tit, pitit lejitim mwen nan konfyans nou gen ansanm lan.

Ou te gen pou ou te mete yon gwoup ansyen alatèt legliz la nan chak vil. Chonje sa m' te di ou: ⁶ Yon ansyen, se yon moun ki pou san repwòch, ki gen yon sèl madanm. Se pou pitit li yo gen konfyans nan Bondye. Tout moun fèt pou konnen yo pou timoun ki pa nan dezòd, ki pa dezobeyisan. ⁷ Paske, yon moun k'ap dirije legliz la, se li ki reskonsab travay Bondye a.

Se pou l' renmen sa ki byen, se pou li konn kenbe tèt li anplas, se pou li san patipri. Se pou l' viv apa pou Bondye, pou li konn kontwole tèt li. ⁹ Se pou l' kenbe mesaj verite a byen fèm, jan Kris la te bay li a, pou l' ka ankouraje lòt yo ak pawòl verite a, pou li ka demanti moun k'ap vire pawòl la lanvè. ¹⁰ Paske, gen moun ki rebèl, k'ap mache twonpe moun ak pawòl san sans. Gen anpil jwif konvèti ki konsa nan mitan yo. ¹¹ Se pou nou fèmen bouch moun sa yo, paske yo boulvèse anpil fanmi deja ak move bagay y'ap moutre moun pou yo fè lajan nan move kondisyon. ¹² Se yon moun Krèt, yonn nan pwofèt pa yo menm ki di konsa: Moun Krèt toujou ap bay manti.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Anakku Titus! Saya, Paulus, menulis surat ini sebagai hamba Allah dan rasul Yesus Kristus. Saya dipilih dan diutus untuk menolong orang-orang pilihan Allah supaya menjadi kuat dalam iman mereka. Saya juga harus membimbing mereka supaya mengenal ajaran yang benar yang diajarkan oleh agama kita. ² Ajaran itu berdasarkan harapan bahwa kita akan menerima hidup sejati dan kekal. Allah sudah menjanjikan hidup itu sebelum permulaan zaman--dan Allah tidak mungkin berdusta. ³ Pada waktu yang tepat, Allah menyatakan janji-Nya itu dalam pesan-Nya. Pesan itu sudah dipercayakan kepada saya, dan saya memberitakannya atas perintah Allah Penyelamat kita. ⁴ Titus, engkau adalah sungguh-sungguh anak saya, sebab engkau dan saya sama-sama sudah percaya kepada Kristus. Saya mengharap semoga Allah Bapa dan Kristus Yesus Raja Penyelamat kita, memberi berkat dan sejahtera kepadamu. ⁵ Saya meninggalkan engkau di Kreta supaya engkau dapat mengurus hal-hal yang masih perlu diatur. Juga, supaya engkau mengangkat pemimpin-pemimpin jemaat di setiap kota. Dan ingatlah akan petunjuk-petunjuk saya ini: ⁶ Seorang pemimpin jemaat hendaklah seorang yang tanpa cela; ia harus mempunyai hanya seorang istri; anak-anaknya harus sudah percaya kepada Kristus dan bukan yang dikenal sebagai anak berandal dan yang tidak bisa diatur. ⁷ Penilik jemaat adalah orang yang mengurus pekerjaan Allah, ia tidak boleh bercela. Ia tidak boleh sombong atau pemarah, atau pemabuk, atau suka berkelahi, atau mata duitan. ⁸ Ia harus senang menerima orang di rumahnya, suka akan hal-hal yang baik, dapat menahan diri, jujur, suci dan tertib. ⁹ Ia harus berpegang teguh pada ajaran yang dapat dipercaya, seperti yang sudah diajarkan kepadanya. Dengan demikian ia sanggup menasihati orang berdasarkan ajaran yang benar, dan menunjukkan kesalahan orang-orang yang menentangnya. ¹⁰ Sebab banyak orang yang suka memberontak, terutama orang-orang yang tadinya beragama Yahudi; mereka menipu orang lain dengan omong kosong mereka. ¹¹ Orang-orang seperti itu harus ditutup mulutnya, sebab mereka mengacaukan banyak keluarga dengan ajaran-ajaran yang tidak-tidak. Mereka melakukan itu hanya karena mau mencari untung yang tidak pantas! ¹² Pernah seorang nabi mereka sendiri, yang berasal dari Kreta juga, berkata, "Orang-orang Kreta selalu berbohong, dan seperti binatang buas yang rakus dan pemalas." ¹³ Apa yang dikatakan oleh nabi itu memang benar. Itu sebabnya engkau harus menegur mereka dengan tegas; supaya mereka tetap berpegang pada ajaran yang benar ¹⁴ dan tidak lagi berpegang pada dongeng-dongeng Yahudi atau peraturan-peraturan yang dibuat oleh orang-orang yang menolak ajaran yang benar itu. ¹⁵ Segala sesuatu adalah suci bagi orang-orang yang suci. Tetapi bagi orang-orang yang pikirannya kotor dan yang tidak beriman, tidak ada sesuatu pun yang suci, sebab pikiran dan hati nurani mereka sudah kotor! ¹⁶ Mereka berkata bahwa mereka mengenal Allah, padahal perbuatan mereka menyangkal-Nya.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paolo, servitore di Dio e apostolo di Gesù Cristo per la fede degli eletti di Dio e la conoscenza della verità che è secondo pietà, ² nella speranza della vita eterna la quale Iddio, che non può mentire, promise avanti i secoli, ³ manifestando poi nei suoi propri tempi la sua parola mediante la predicazione che è stata a me affidata per mandato di Dio, nostro Salvatore, ⁴ a Tito, mio vero figliuolo secondo la fede che ci è comune, grazia e pace da Dio Padre e da Cristo Gesù, nostro Salvatore. ⁵ Per questa ragione t’ho lasciato in Creta: perché tu dia ordine alle cose che rimangono a fare, e costituisca degli anziani per ogni città, come t’ho ordinato; ⁶ quando si trovi chi sia irreprensibile, marito d’una sola moglie, avente figliuoli fedeli, che non sieno accusati di dissolutezza né insubordinati. ⁷ Poiché il vescovo bisogna che sia irreprensibile, come economo di Dio; non arrogante, non iracondo, non dedito al vino, non manesco, non cupido di disonesto guadagno, ⁸ ma ospitale, amante del bene, assennato, giusto, santo, temperante, ⁹ attaccato alla fedel Parola quale gli è stata insegnata, onde sia capace d’esortare nella sana dottrina e di convincere i contradittori. ¹⁰ Poiché vi son molti ribelli, cianciatori e seduttori di menti, specialmente fra quelli della circoncisione, ai quali bisogna turare la bocca; ¹¹ uomini che sovvertono le case intere, insegnando cose che non dovrebbero, per amor di disonesto guadagno. ¹² Uno dei loro, un loro proprio profeta, disse: "I Cretesi son sempre bugiardi, male bestie, ventri pigri". ¹³ Questa testimonianza è verace. Riprendili perciò severamente, affinché siano sani nella fede, ¹⁴ non dando retta a favole giudaiche né a comandamenti d’uomini che voltan le spalle alla verità. ¹⁵ Tutto è puro per quelli che son puri; ma per i contaminati ed increduli niente è puro; anzi, tanto la mente che la coscienza loro son contaminate. ¹⁶ Fanno professione di conoscere Iddio; ma lo rinnegano con le loro opere, essendo abominevoli, e ribelli, e incapaci di qualsiasi opera buona.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paulo, servo de Deus, e apóstolo de Jesus Cristo, segundo a fé dos eleitos de Deus, e o pleno conhecimento da verdade que é segundo a piedade, ² na esperança da vida eterna, a qual Deus, que não pode mentir, prometeu antes dos tempos eternos, ³ e no tempo próprio manifestou a sua palavra, mediante a pregação que me foi confiada segundo o mandamento de Deus, nosso Salvador; ⁴ a Tito, meu verdadeiro filho segundo a fé que nos é comum, graça e paz da parte de Deus Pai, e de Cristo Jesus, nosso Salvador. ⁵ Por esta causa te deixei em Creta, para que pusesses em boa ordem o que ainda não o está, e que em cada cidade estabelecesses anciãos, como já te mandei; ⁶ alguém que seja irrepreensível, marido de uma só mulher, tendo filhos crentes que não sejam acusados de dissolução, nem sejam desobedientes. ⁷ Pois é necessário que o bispo seja irrepreensível, como despenseiro de Deus, não soberbo, nem irascível, nem dado ao vinho, nem espancador, nem cobiçoso de torpe ganância; ⁸ mas hospitaleiro, amigo do bem, sóbrio, justo, piedoso, temperante; ⁹ retendo firme a palavra fiel, que é conforme a doutrina, para que seja poderoso, tanto para exortar na sã doutrina como para convencer os contradizentes. ¹⁰ Porque há muitos insubordinados, faladores vãos, e enganadores, especialmente os da circuncisão, ¹¹ aos quais é preciso tapar a boca; porque transtornam casas inteiras ensinando o que não convém, por torpe ganância. ¹² Um dentre eles, seu próprio profeta, disse: Os cretenses são sempre mentirosos, bestas ruins, glutões preguiçosos. ¹³ Este testemunho é verdadeiro. Portanto repreende-os severamente, para que sejam são na fé, ¹⁴ não dando ouvidos a fábulas judaicas, nem a mandamentos de homens que se desviam da verdade. ¹⁵ Tudo é puro para os que são puros, mas para os corrompidos e incrédulos nada é puro; antes tanto a sua mente como a sua consciência estão contaminadas. ¹⁶ Afirmam que conhecem a Deus, mas pelas suas obras o negam, sendo abomináveis, e desobedientes, e réprobos para toda boa obra.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paulus, Guds tjener og Jesu Kristi apostel til å føre Guds utvalgte til tro og til å kjenne den sannhet som hører til gudsfrykt, ² i håp om evig liv, som Gud, han som ikke lyver, har lovt fra evige tider, ³ men nu i sin tid har han åpenbaret sitt ord i den forkynnelse som blev mig betrodd efter Guds, vår frelsers befaling ⁴ - til Titus, min ekte sønn i den felles tro; Nåde og fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus, vår frelser! ⁵ Derfor lot jeg dig bli efter på Kreta at du skulde sette det i rette skikk som ennu stod tilbake, og innsette eldste i hver by, således som jeg foreskrev dig, ⁶ om nogen er ulastelig, én kvinnes mann, og har troende barn som ikke har ondt ord på sig for ryggesløshet eller er gjenstridige. ⁷ For en tilsynsmann skal være ulastelig som en Guds husholder, ikke selvgod, ikke vredladen, ikke drikkfeldig, ikke voldsom, ikke lysten efter ussel vinning, ⁸ men gjestfri, glad i det gode, sindig, rettferdig, hellig, avholdende, ⁹ en som holder fast ved det troverdige ord efter læren, forat han kan være i stand til både å formane ved den sunde lære og å tale til rette dem som sier imot. ¹⁰ For der er mange gjenstridige, som farer med tomt snakk og dårer folks hu, helst de av omskjærelsen. ¹¹ Disse skal en målbinde; for de nedriver hele hus ved å føre utilbørlig lære for ussel vinnings skyld. ¹² En av dem, deres egen profet, har sagt: Kreterne er alltid løgnere, onde dyr, late buker. ¹³ Dette vidnesbyrd er sant. Derfor skal du tale dem strengt til rette, forat de må bli sunde i troen, ¹⁴ så de ikke gir sig av med jødiske eventyr og bud av mennesker som vender sig bort fra sannheten. ¹⁵ Alt er rent for de rene; men for de urene og vantro er intet rent; både deres sinn og deres samvittighet er urene. ¹⁶ De sier at de kjenner Gud; men de fornekter ham med sine gjerninger, for de er vederstyggelige og ulydige og uduelige til all god gjerning.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Павло, раб Божий, а апостол Ісуса Христа, по вірі вибраних Божих і пізнанні правди, що за благочестям, ² в надії вічного життя, яке обіцяв був від вічних часів необманливий Бог, ³ і часу свого з'явив Слово Своє в проповіданні, що доручене було мені з наказу Спасителя нашого Бога, ⁴ до Тита, щирого сина за спільною вірою: благодать, милість та мир від Бога Отця й Христа Ісуса, Спасителя нашого! ⁵ Я для того тебе полишив був у Кріті, щоб ти впорядкував недокінчене та пресвітерів настановив по містах, як тобі я звелів, ⁶ коли хто бездоганний, муж єдиної дружини, має вірних дітей, недокорених за блуд або неслухняність. ⁷ Бо єпископ мусить бути бездоганний, як Божий доморядник, не самолюбний, не гнівливий, не п'яниця, не заводіяка, не корисливий, ⁸ але гостинний до приходнів, добролюбець, поміркований, справедливий, побожний, стриманий, ⁹ що тримається вірного слова згідно з наукою, щоб мав силу й навчати в здоровій науці, і переконувати противних. ¹⁰ Багато бо є неслухняних, марнословців, зводників, особливо ж з обрізаних, ¹¹ їм треба уста затуляти: вони цілі доми баламутять, навчаючи, чого не належить, для зиску брудного. ¹² Сказав один з них, їхній власний пророк: Крітяни завжди брехливі, люті звірі, черевані ліниві!... ¹³ Це свідоцтво правдиве. Ради цієї причини докоряй їм суворо, щоб у вірі здорові були, ¹⁴ і на юдейські байки не вважали, ані на накази людей, що від правди відвертаються. ¹⁵ Для чистих все чисте, а для занечищених та для невірних не чисте ніщо, але занечистилися і розум їхній, і сумління. ¹⁶ Вони твердять, немов знають Бога, але відкидаються вчинками, бувши бридкі й неслухняні, і до всякого доброго діла нездатні.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Павел, слуга Божий, апостол асе Ісуса Христа, по вірі вибраних Божих і зрозумінню правди, що по благочестю, ² в надїї вічнього життя, котре обітував Бог, що не обманює, перед вічними часами, ³ явив же часу свого слово своє проповіданнєм, котре менї доручено по повелінню Спасителя нашого Бога. ⁴ Титу, правдивому синові по спільній вірі: Благодать, милость, мир од Бога Отця і Господа Ісуса Христа, Спаса нашого. ⁵ На те зоставив я тебе в Критї, щоб остальне довів до ладу і настановив до всїх городах пресвитерів, як я тобі повелїв. ⁶ Коли хто непорочен, однієї жінки муж, мав вірних дітей, недокорених за розврат, або непокірних. ⁷ Треба бо єпископу без пороку бути, яко Божому доморядннкояі, щоб не собі годив, не був гнївливий, не пяниця, не сварливий, не жадний поганого надбання, ⁸ а був гостинний, любив добре, (у всьому) мірний, праведний, преподобний, вдержливий, ⁹ щоб державсь вірного слова по науцї, щоб умів і напоминати здоровою наукою і докоряти противних. ¹⁰ Багато бо непокірних, марномовцїв і обманщиків, найбільше ж которі з обрізання, ¹¹ їм треба роти позатуляти; вони всі доми розвертають, навчаючи чого не треба, ради скверного надбання. ¹² Сказав же один о них, власний їх пророк: Критяне завсїди брехуни, люті зьвіри, черева лїниві. ¹³ Вірне се сьвідченнє. З сієї ж то причини докоряй їх нещадно, щоб здорові були в вірі, ¹⁴ не вважаючи на жидівські байки, нї на заповіді людей, що одвертають ся од правди. ¹⁵ Все чисте чистим; опоганеним же та невірним нїщо не чисте, а опоганив ся і розум їх і совість. ¹⁶ Визнають, що знають Бога, а дїлами одрікають ся від Него, бувши гидкими і непокірними і до всякого діла доброго неспосібними.
