WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
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.
1 AMONÉSTALES que se sujeten á los príncipes y potestades, que obedezcan, que estén prontos á toda buena obra.
1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
2 Diles que nunca hablen mal de nadie; que busquen la paz y que sean amables y atentos con todo el mundo.
2 Que á nadie infamen, que no sean pendencieros, [sino] modestos, mostrando toda mansedumbre para con todos los hombres.
2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.
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.
3 Porque también éramos nosotros necios en otro tiempo, rebeldes, extraviados, sirviendo á concupiscencias y deleites diversos, viviendo en malicia y en envidia, aborrecibles, aborreciendo los unos á los otros.
3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Pero cuando la bondad y el amor de Dios, nuestro Salvador, se manifestaron,
4 Mas cuando se manifestó la bondad de Dios nuestro Salvador, y su amor para con los hombres,
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
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
5 No por obras de justicia que nosotros habíamos hecho, mas por su misericordia nos salvó, por el lavacro de la regeneración, y de la renovación del Espíritu Santo;
5 not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 que vertió abundantemente en nosotros, gracias a la obra de Jesucristo, nuestro Salvador.
6 El cual derramó en nosotros abundantemente por Jesucristo nuestro Salvador,
6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
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.
7 Para que, justificados por su gracia, seamos hechos herederos según la esperanza de la vida eterna.
7 that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
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.
8 Palabra fiel, y estas cosas quiero que afirmes, para que los que creen á Dios procuren gobernarse en buenas obras. Estas cosas son buenas y útiles á los hombres.
8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
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.
9 Mas las cuestiones necias, y genealogías, y contenciones, y debates acerca de la ley, evita; porque son sin provecho y vanas.
9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Al que cause divisiones en la iglesia se le debe amonestar una o dos veces. Después, déjalo a un lado,
10 Rehusa hombre hereje, después de una y otra amonestación;
10 Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,
11 porque la gente así se condena a sí misma por pecar a sabiendas.
11 Estando cierto que el tal es trastornado, y peca, siendo condenado de su propio juicio.
11 knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.
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.
12 Cuando enviare á ti á Artemas, ó á Tichîco, procura venir á mí, á Nicópolis: porque allí he determinado invernar.
12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13 Trata de ayudar a Zenas el abogado y a Apolos en el viaje que tienen que realizar. Ocúpate de que nada les falte,
13 A Zenas doctor de la ley, y á Apolos, envía delante, procurando que nada les falte.
13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
14 porque los nuestros deben aprender a ayudar a los que están en necesidad, pues así tendrán una vida útil.
14 Y aprendan asimismo los nuestros á gobernarse en buenas obras para los usos necesarios, para que no sean sin fruto.
14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
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.
15 Todos los que están conmigo te saludan. Saluda á los que nos aman en la fe. La gracia sea con todos vosotros. Amén. A Tito, el cual fué el primer obispo ordenado á la iglesia de los Cretenses, escrita de Nicópolis de Macedonia.
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

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).
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 …

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.
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;" …
… "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 …

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 …
