1 Pablo, un esclavo de Dios y apóstol de Jesucristo, según [la] fe de los escogidos de Dios y [el] conocimiento de la verdad en la piedad, 2 con respecto a [la] esperanza de vida eterna, la cual Dios, Quien no miente, prometió antes de [los ]tiempos eternos. 3 Pero a su debido tiempo reveló su Palabra por [la ]predicación la cual me fue encomendada por orden de Dios nuestro Salvador. 4 A Tito, genuino hijo según [la ]fe común. Gracia y paz de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús, nuestro Salvador. 5 Por esta razón te dejé en Creta, para que te encargaras de poner en orden las cosas desordenadas, y designaras ancianos en cada ciudad, como yo me propuse. 6 El anciano debe ser irreprochable, esposo de una sola esposa, que tenga hijos fieles, no con acusación de relajamiento moral o rebeldes. 7 Porque es necesario que el supervisor sea irreprochable como administrador de Dios: no arrogante, no iracundo, no adicto al vino, no pendenciero, no codicioso de ganancia deshonesta, 8 sino hospedador, amante de lo bueno, prudente, justo, santo, disciplinado, 9 que retenga [la] palabra fiel, según la doctrina, a fin de que también pueda exhortar con la sana doctrina y convencer a los que contradicen. 10 Porque hay muchos indisciplinados, habladores de vanidades y engañadores, especialmente de los judíos, 11 a quienes hay que silenciar, que trastornan familias enteras, pues enseñan lo que no es necesario por amor a una ganancia deshonesta. 12 Uno de ellos, su propio profeta, dijo: Cretenses, siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, glotones ociosos. 13 Este testimonio es verdadero. Por lo cual, repréndelos severamente para que sean sanos en la fe, 14 que no fijen [la] atención en fábulas judaicas y mandamientos de hombres que se apartan de la verdad. 15 Todas las cosas son puras para los puros, pero para los contaminados e incrédulos nada es puro. Pues aun la mente y la conciencia de ellos fueron contaminadas. 16 Profesan conocer a Dios, pero con los hechos lo niegan, pues son repugnantes y desobedientes, descalificados 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.
