1 παυλος, δουλος θεου, αποστολος δε ιησου χριστου κατα πιστιν εκλεκτων θεου και επιγνωσιν αληθειας της κατ ευσεβειαν
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2 επ ελπιδι ζωης αιωνιου, ην επηγγειλατο ο αψευδης θεος προ χρονων αιωνιων,
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;
3 εφανερωσεν δε καιροις ιδιοις τον λογον αυτου εν κηρυγματι ο επιστευθην εγω κατ επιταγην του σωτηρος ημων θεου,
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
4 τιτω γνησιω τεκνω κατα κοινην πιστιν· χαρις, ελεος, ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ιησου χριστου του σωτηρος ημων.
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 τουτου χαριν κατελιπον σε εν κρητη, ινα τα λειποντα επιδιορθωση, και καταστησης κατα πολιν πρεσβυτερους, ως εγω σοι διεταξαμην,
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
6 ει τις εστιν ανεγκλητος, μιας γυναικος ανηρ, τεκνα εχων πιστα, μη εν κατηγορια ασωτιας η ανυποτακτα.
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7 δει γαρ τον επισκοπον ανεγκλητον ειναι ως θεου οικονομον, μη αυθαδη, μη οργιλον, μη παροινον, μη πληκτην, μη αισχροκερδη,
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8 αλλα φιλοξενον, φιλαγαθον, σωφρονα, δικαιον, οσιον, εγκρατη,
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
9 αντεχομενον του κατα την διδαχην πιστου λογου, ινα δυνατος η και παρακαλειν εν τη διδασκαλια τη υγιαινουση και τους αντιλεγοντας ελεγχειν.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
10 εισιν γαρ πολλοι [και] ανυποτακτοι, ματαιολογοι και φρεναπαται, μαλιστα οι εκ περιτομης,
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 ους δει επιστομιζειν, οιτινες ολους οικους ανατρεπουσιν διδασκοντες α μη δει αισχρου κερδους χαριν.
11 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
12 ειπεν τις εξ αυτων ιδιος αυτων προφητης· κρητες αει ψευσται, κακα θηρια, γαστερες αργαι.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
13 η μαρτυρια αυτη εστιν αληθης. δι ην αιτιαν ελεγχε αυτους αποτομως, ινα υγιαινωσιν εν τη πιστει,
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 μη προσεχοντες ιουδαικοις μυθοις και εντολαις ανθρωπων αποστρεφομενων την αληθειαν.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
15 παντα [μεν] καθαρα τοις καθαροις· τοις δε μεμιαμμενοις και απιστοις ουδεν καθαρον, αλλα μεμιανται αυτων και ο νους και η συνειδησις.
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16 θεον ομολογουσιν ειδεναι, τοις δε εργοις αρνουνται, βδελυκτοι οντες και απειθεις και προς παν εργον αγαθον αδοκιμοι.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

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.
