1Paul, a servant1:1 For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness,

2in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began1:2 Greek before times eternal

3and at the proper time manifested in his word1:3 Or manifested his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior;

4To Titus, my true child in a common faith:

Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

Qualifications for Elders

5This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you—

6if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife,1:6 Or a man of one woman and his children are believers1:6 Or are faithful and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination.

7For an overseer,1:7 Or bishop; Greek episkopos as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,

8but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.

9He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound1:9 Or healthy; also verse 13 doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

10For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party.1:10 Or especially those of the circumcision

11They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach.

12One of the Cretans,1:12 Greek One of them a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”1:12 Probably from Epimenides of Crete

13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

14not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth.

15To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled.

16They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.
