WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Recuérdales que deben seguir lo que los gobernantes les dicen, y que deben obedecer a las autoridades. Siempre deben estar listos para hacer el bien.
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 no deben hablar mal de nadie, y que no deben estar en contiendas. Enséñales a mostrar bondad con todas las personas.
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 Pues hubo un tiempo en que nosotros también fuimos necios y desobedientes. Éramos engañados y andábamos como esclavos de diversos deseos y placeres. Vivíamos vidas de maldad, llenas de celos. Estábamos llenos de odio los unos por los otros.
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 fueron revelados, nos salvó,
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 no porque hubiésemos hecho algo bueno, sino por su misericordia. Lo hizo por medio de la limpieza del nuevo nacimiento y renovación 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 el cual derramó sobre nosotros abundantemente por medio 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 Ahora que estamos justificados por su gracia, nos hemos convertido en herederos por la esperanza de la vida eterna.
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 Puedes confiar en lo que te digo, y quiero que hagas énfasis en estas instrucciones para que los que creen en Dios tomen su vida con seriedad y sigan haciendo el bien. Ellos son excelentes personas y siempre están prestos a ayudar a 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 Evita las discusiones insensatas sobre linajes. No entres en contiendas y evita las discusiones sobre las leyes judías, pues tales discusiones son vanas y no sirven para nada.
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 A aquella persona que cause división, adviértele una vez, y después no le prestes atención,
10 Rehusa hombre hereje, después de una y otra amonestación;
10 Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,
11 entendiendo que es una persona perversa y pecadora que ya ha traído su propia condenación.
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 Tan pronto envíe a Artemas o a Tíquico donde ti, procura venir a visitarme a Nicópolis, pues tengo planes de pasar el invierno allí.
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 Haz todo lo que puedas por ayudar a Zenas, el abogado, y a Apolo cuando vayan de camino para que puedan tener lo que necesitan.
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 Ojalá nuestro pueblo aprenda el hábito de hacer el bien, proveyendo para las necesidades diarias de los demás. ¡Necesitan ser productivos!
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 aquí conmigo envían sus saludos. Envía mis saludos a quienes nos aman, los que tienen fe en Dios. Que la gracia esté 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).

  1. Commentary 3:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Titus (Homily VI)

    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 …

  2. Quotes verse 3:1 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters I–VI)

    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.

  3. Quotes verse 3:10 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters XVI–XVII)

    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;" …

  4. Quotes verse 3:5 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapters XV–XV)

    … "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 …

  5. Quotes verse 3:10 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIII)

    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 …
