1 Παύλος, δούλος Θεού, απόστολος δε Ιησού Χριστού κατά την πίστιν των εκλεκτών του Θεού και την επίγνωσιν της αληθείας της κατ' ευσέβειαν
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,
1 Παῦλος, δοῦλος Θεοῦ, ἀπόστολος δὲ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ κατὰ πίστιν ἐκλεκτῶν Θεοῦ καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας τῆς κατ᾽ εὐσέβειαν
2 επ' ελπίδι ζωής αιωνίου, την οποίαν υπεσχέθη ο αψευδής Θεός προ χρόνων αιωνίων,
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;
2 ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι ζωῆς αἰωνίου, ἣν ἐπηγγείλατο ὁ ἀψευδὴς Θεὸς πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων,
3 εφανέρωσε δε εν καιροίς ωρισμένοις τον λόγον αυτού διά του κηρύγματος, το οποίον ενεπιστεύθην εγώ κατ' επιταγήν του σωτήρος ημών Θεού,
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,
3 ἐφανέρωσε δὲ καιροῖς ἰδίοις τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐν κηρύγματι ὃ ἐπιστεύθην ἐγὼ κατ᾽ ἐπιταγὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Θεοῦ,
4 προς Τίτον, γνήσιον τέκνον κατά κοινήν ημών πίστιν· είη χάρις, έλεος, ειρήνη από Θεού Πατρός και Κυρίου Ιησού Χριστού του Σωτήρος ημών.
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.
4 Τίτῳ γνησίῳ τέκνῳ κατὰ κοινὴν πίστιν· χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν.
5 Διά τούτο σε αφήκα εν Κρήτη, διά να διορθώσης τα ελλείποντα και να καταστήσης εν πάση πόλει πρεσβυτέρους, καθώς εγώ σε διέταξα,
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—
5 Τούτου χάριν κατέλιπόν σε ἐν Κρήτῃ, ἵνα τὰ λείποντα ἐπιδιορθώσῃ, καὶ καταστήσῃς κατὰ πόλιν πρεσβυτέρους, ὡς ἐγώ σοι διεταξάμην,
6 όστις είναι ανέγκλητος, μιας γυναικός ανήρ, έχων τέκνα πιστά, μη κατηγορούμενα ως άσωτα ή ανυπότακτα.
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
6 εἴ τίς ἐστιν ἀνέγκλητος, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ, τέκνα ἔχων πιστά, μὴ ἐν κατηγορίᾳ ἀσωτίας ἢ ἀνυπότακτα.
7 Διότι πρέπει ο επίσκοπος να ήναι ανέγκλητος, ως οικονόμος Θεού, μη αυθάδης, μη οργίλος, μη μέθυσος, μη πλήκτης, μη αισχροκερδής,
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;
7 δεῖ γὰρ τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνέγκλητον εἶναι ὡς Θεοῦ οἰκονόμον, μὴ αὐθάδη, μὴ ὀργίλον, μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, μὴ αἰσχροκερδῆ,
8 αλλά φιλόξενος, φιλάγαθος, σώφρων, δίκαιος, όσιος, εγκρατής,
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
8 ἀλλὰ φιλόξενον, φιλάγαθον, σώφρονα, δίκαιον, ὅσιον, ἐγκρατῆ,
9 προσκεκολλημένος εις τον πιστόν λόγον της διδασκαλίας, διά να ήναι δυνατός και να προτρέπη διά της υγιαινούσης διδασκαλίας και να εξελέγχη τους αντιλέγοντας.
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.
9 ἀντεχόμενον τοῦ κατὰ τὴν διδαχὴν πιστοῦ λόγου, ἵνα δυνατὸς ᾖ καὶ παρακαλεῖν ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ καὶ τοὺς ἀντιλέγοντας ἐλέγχειν.
10 Διότι υπάρχουσι πολλοί και ανυπότακτοι ματαιολόγοι και φρενοπλάνοι, μάλιστα οι εκ της περιτομής,
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
10 Εἰσὶ γὰρ πολλοὶ [καὶ] ἀνυπότακτοι, ματαιολόγοι καὶ φρεναπάται, μάλιστα οἱ ἐκ περιτομῆς,
11 τους οποίους πρέπει να αποστομόνωμεν, οίτινες ανατρέπουσιν ολοκλήρους οίκους, διδάσκοντες όσα δεν πρέπει, χάριν αισχρού κέρδους.
11 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
11 οὓς δεῖ ἐπιστομίζειν, οἵτινες ὅλους οἴκους ἀνατρέπουσι διδάσκοντες ἃ μὴ δεῖ αἰσχροῦ κέρδους χάριν.
12 Είπε τις αυτών προφήτης ίδιος αυτών· Οι Κρήτες είναι πάντοτε ψεύσται, κακά θηρία, γαστέρες αργαί.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
12 εἶπέ τις ἐξ αὐτῶν ἴδιος αὐτῶν προφήτης· Κρῆτες ἀεὶ ψεῦσται, κακὰ θηρία, γαστέρες ἀργαί.
13 Η μαρτυρία αύτη είναι αληθινή. Διά την οποίαν αιτίαν έλεγχε αυτούς αποτόμως, διά να υγιαίνωσιν εν τη πίστει,
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
13 ἡ μαρτυρία αὕτη ἐστὶν ἀληθής. δι᾽ ἣν αἰτίαν ἔλεγχε αὐτοὺς ἀποτόμως, ἵνα ὑγιαίνωσιν ἐν τῇ πίστει,
14 και να μη προσέχωσιν εις Ιουδαϊκούς μύθους και εντολάς ανθρώπων αποστρεφομένων την αλήθειαν.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
14 μὴ προσέχοντες Ἰουδαϊκοῖς μύθοις καὶ ἐντολαῖς ἀνθρώπων ἀποστρεφομένων τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
15 Εις μεν τους καθαρούς πάντα είναι καθαρά· εις δε τους μεμιασμένους και απίστους ουδέν καθαρόν, αλλά και ο νούς αυτών και η συνείδησις είναι μεμιασμένα.
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.
15 πάντα [μὲν] καθαρὰ τοῖς καθαροῖς· τοῖς δὲ μεμιαμμένοις καὶ ἀπίστοις οὐδὲν καθαρόν, ἀλλὰ μεμίανται αὐτῶν καὶ ὁ νοῦς καὶ ἡ συνείδησις.
16 Ομολογούσιν ότι γνωρίζουσι τον Θεόν, με τα έργα όμως αρνούνται, βδελυκτοί όντες και απειθείς και εις παν έργον αγαθόν αδόκιμοι.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
16 Θεὸν ὁμολογοῦσιν εἰδέναι, τοῖς δὲ ἔργοις ἀρνοῦνται, βδελυκτοὶ ὄντες καὶ ἀπειθεῖς καὶ πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἀδόκιμοι.

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.
