Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:
1Paulus servus Dei, Apostolus autem Jesu Christi secundum fidem electorum Dei, et agnitionem veritatis, quæ secundum pietatem est
2Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world:
2in spem vitæ æternæ, quam promisit qui non mentitur, Deus, ante tempora sæcularia:
3But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
3manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in prædicatione, quæ credita est mihi secundum præceptum Salvatoris nostri Dei:
4To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
4Tito dilecto filio secundum communem fidem, gratia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Salvatore nostro.
5For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
5Hujus rei gratia reliqui te Cretæ, ut ea quæ desunt, corrigas, et constituas per civitates presbyteros, sicut et ego disposui tibi,
6If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
6si quis sine crimine est, unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriæ, aut non subditos.
7For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
7Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem: non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum:
8But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
8sed hospitalem, benignum, sobrium, justum, sanctum, continentem,
9Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
9amplectentem eum, qui secundum doctrinam est, fidelem sermonem: ut potens sit exhortari in doctrina sana, et eos qui contradicunt, arguere.
10For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
10Sunt enim multi etiam inobedientes, vaniloqui, et seductores: maxime qui de circumcisione sunt:
11Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
11quos oportet redargui: qui universas domos subvertunt, docentes quæ non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.
12One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
12Dixit quidam ex illis, proprius ipsorum propheta: Cretenses semper mendaces, malæ bestiæ, ventres pigri.
13This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
13Testimonium hoc verum est. Quam ob causam increpa illos dure, ut sani sint in fide,
14Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
14non intendentes judaicis fabulis, et mandatis hominum, aversantium se a veritate.
15All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
15Omnia munda mundis: coinquinatis autem et infidelibus, nihil est mundum, sed inquinatæ sunt eorum et mens et conscientia.
16They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
16Confitentur se nosse Deum, factis autem negant: cum sint abominati, et incredibiles, et ad omne opus bonum reprobi.
