Audio: Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA), read by Joyfull · Tito 1–3 · About the recordings

1 Recuérdales que han de someterse al gobierno y a las autoridades, que han de ser obedientes y que deben estar siempre dispuestos a realizar cualquier trabajo honrado. 2 Diles que nunca hablen mal de nadie; que busquen la paz y que sean amables y atentos con todo el mundo. 3 En otro tiempo, también nosotros éramos insensatos y desobedientes; con facilidad nos descarriábamos y vivíamos esclavos de los placeres y de los deseos pecaminosos. Estábamos llenos de rencor y envidia. Odiábamos a los demás y ellos nos odiaban a nosotros. 4 Pero cuando la bondad y el amor de Dios, nuestro Salvador, se manifestaron, 5 él nos salvó. Y lo hizo no porque fuéramos tan buenos que lo mereciéramos, sino porque en su misericordia Dios nos lavó los pecados, Y no sólo eso, sino que, además, nos dio una nueva vida por medio del Espíritu Santo 6 que vertió abundantemente en nosotros, gracias a la obra de Jesucristo, nuestro Salvador. 7 Lo hizo a fin de poder declararnos justos ante Dios por su gracia y para que fuéramos herederos de la vida eterna, la cual con ansias esperamos alcanzar. 8 Cuanto te he dicho es cierto. Insiste en estas cosas, para que los que han creído en Dios se ocupen de hacer siempre el bien. Esto es excelente y provechoso para todos. 9 Nunca discutas cuestiones necias ni te pongas a hablar acerca de cuentos de nuestros antepasados. Evita las polémicas sobre si se deben obedecer o no las leyes judaicas, porque no vale la pena y es más bien perjudicial. 10 Al que cause divisiones en la iglesia se le debe amonestar una o dos veces. Después, déjalo a un lado, 11 porque la gente así se condena a sí misma por pecar a sabiendas. 12 Estoy pensando enviarte a Artemas o a Tíquico. Tan pronto como uno de ellos llegue, procura encontrarte conmigo en Nicópolis, donde he decidido pasar el invierno. 13 Trata de ayudar a Zenas el abogado y a Apolos en el viaje que tienen que realizar. Ocúpate de que nada les falte, 14 porque los nuestros deben aprender a ayudar a los que están en necesidad, pues así tendrán una vida útil. 15 Todos los que están conmigo te mandan saludos. Salúdame a los que nos aman en la fe. Que el amor de Dios sea con todos ustedes.

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).

  1. Commentary 3:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Titus (Homily VI)

    Having spoken of the love of God to man, of His ineffable regard for us, of what we were and what He has done for us, he has added, "These things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works"; that is, Discourse of these things, and from a …

  2. Quotes verse 3:1 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters I–VI)

    Ye never grudged any act of kindness, being "ready to every good work." Adorned by a thoroughly virtuous and religious life, ye did all things in the fear of God.

  3. Quotes verse 3:10 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters XVI–XVII)

    But as many as separate from the Church, and give heed to such old wives' fables as these, are truly self-condemned; and these men Paul commands us, "after a first and second admonition, to avoid." And John, the disciple of the Lord, has intensified their condemnation, when he desires us not even to address to them the salutation of "good-speed;" …

  4. Quotes verse 3:5 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapters XV–XV)

    … "Now I know in part, but then shall I know, even as also I am known; and now through a glass in a riddle, but then face to face." For the same apostle also says that we have been saved by the washing of regeneration, and yet declares in another place, "We are saved by hope: but hope that is …

  5. Quotes verse 3:10 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIII)

    Therefore Paul also said to Timothy, "Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words;" and again in another place, "From such turn away," and, "A man that is an heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject." It is not, you see, that those truths furnish them with armor, but they become fools in this …
