1 Od Pavla, sluge Božjeg, a apostola Isusa Hrista po veri izabranih Božjih i po poznanju istine pobožnosti, 2 za nadu večnog života, koji obeća nelažni Bog pre vremena večnih, 3 a javi u vremena svoja reč svoju propovedanjem, koje je meni povereno po zapovesti Spasitelja našeg Boga, 4 Titu, pravom sinu po veri nas obojice, blagodat, milost, mir od Boga Oca i Gospoda Isusa Hrista, Spasa našeg. 5 Zato te ostavih u Kritu da popraviš šta je nedovršeno, i da postaviš po svim gradovima sveštenike, kao što ti ja zapovedih, 6 ako je ko bez mane, jedne žene muž, i ima vernu decu, koju ne kore za kurvarstvo ili za nepokornost. 7 Jer vladika treba da je bez mane, kao Božji pristav; ne koji sebi ugađa, ne gnevljiv, ne pijanica, ne bojac, ne lakom na pogani dobitak; 8 nego gostoljubiv, blag, pošten, pravedan, svet, čist; 9 koji se drži verne reči po nauci, da bude kadar i savetovati sa zdravom naukom, i pokarati one koji se protive. 10 Jer ima mnogo neposlušnih, praznogovorljivih, i umom prevarenih, a osobito koji su iz obrezanja, 11 kojima treba usta zatvoriti; koji cele kuće izopačuju učeći šta ne treba, poganog dobitka radi. 12 A reče neko od njih, njihov prorok: Krićani svagda lažljivi, zli zverovi, besposleni trbusi. 13 Svedočanstvo je ovo istinito; zaradi tog uzroka karaj ih bez šteđenja, da budu zdravi u veri, 14 ne slušajući jevrejske gatalice ni zapovesti ljudi koji se odvraćaju od istine. 15 Čistima je sve čisto; a poganima i nevernima ništa nije čisto, nego je opoganjen njihov i um i savest. 16 Govore da poznaju Boga, a delima Ga se odriču; jer su mrski i neposlušni, i ni za kakvo dobro delo valjani.

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.
