1 Pablo, siervo de Dios y apóstol de Jesucristo, conforme a la fe de los escogidos de Dios y al conocimiento de la verdad que lleva a la piedad, 2 en esperanza de la vida eterna, la cual Dios, que no miente, prometió desde antes de los tiempos eternos. 3 A su debido tiempo, Dios manifestó su palabra por medio de la predicación que me fue confiada por mandato de Dios nuestro Salvador. 4 A Tito, mi verdadero hijo en la fe que compartimos: Gracia, misericordia y paz de parte de Dios el Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Salvador. 5 Por esta causa te dejé en Creta: para que pusieras en orden lo que faltaba y nombraras ancianos en cada ciudad, como yo te mandé. 6 El anciano debe ser irreprensible, esposo de una sola mujer, y tener hijos creyentes que no sean acusados de mala conducta ni de rebeldía. 7 Porque el supervisor, como administrador de Dios, debe ser irreprensible: no arrogante, no iracundo, no dado al vino, no violento ni codicioso de ganancias deshonestas. 8 Más bien, debe ser hospitalario, amante de lo bueno, prudente, justo, santo y con dominio propio. 9 Debe mantenerse firme en la palabra fiel, conforme a la enseñanza recibida, para poder exhortar con sana doctrina y convencer a los que contradicen. 10 Porque hay muchos rebeldes, habladores inútiles y engañadores, especialmente los de la circuncisión. 11 A estos es necesario taparles la boca, porque trastornan familias enteras, enseñando lo que no deben por ganancia deshonesta. 12 Uno de ellos, su propio profeta, dijo: Los cretenses son siempre mentirosos, malas bestias y glotones perezosos. 13 Este testimonio es verdadero. Por eso repréndelos con firmeza, para que sean sanos en la fe, 14 y no presten atención a mitos judíos ni a mandamientos de hombres que se apartan de la verdad. 15 Para los limpios, todas las cosas son limpias; pero para los contaminados e incrédulos, nada es limpio, pues tienen contaminadas la mente y la conciencia. 16 Dicen que conocen a Dios, pero con sus hechos lo niegan. Son detestables, desobedientes y reprobados para toda buena obra.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Titus was an approved one of the companions of Paul; otherwise, he would not have committed to him the charge of that whole island, nor would he have commanded him to supply what was deficient, as he says, "That thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting." (Ver.

Let them perish from Thy presence, O God, as "vain talkers and deceivers" of the soul do perish, who, observing that there were two wills in deliberating, affirm that there are two kinds of minds in us,--one good, the other evil.

Thou hast taught me, good Father, that "unto the pure all things are pure;" but "it is evil for that man who eateth with offence;" "and that every creature of Thine is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with, thanksgiving;" and that "meat commendeth us not to God;" and that no man should "judge us in …

For he says, "In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie promised before the eternal times, but hath in due times manifested His word." You see he says that in the past there have been eternal times, which, however, were not co-eternal with God.
