1Paulus servus Dei, Apostolus autem Jesu Christi secundum fidem electorum Dei, et agnitionem veritatis, quæ secundum pietatem est
1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,
2in spem vitæ æternæ, quam promisit qui non mentitur, Deus, ante tempora sæcularia:
2in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
3manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in prædicatione, quæ credita est mihi secundum præceptum Salvatoris nostri Dei:
3In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
4Tito dilecto filio secundum communem fidem, gratia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Salvatore nostro.
4To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
5Hujus rei gratia reliqui te Cretæ, ut ea quæ desunt, corrigas, et constituas per civitates presbyteros, sicut et ego disposui tibi,
5The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6si quis sine crimine est, unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriæ, aut non subditos.
6An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
7Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem: non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum:
7As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
8sed hospitalem, benignum, sobrium, justum, sanctum, continentem,
8Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
9amplectentem eum, qui secundum doctrinam est, fidelem sermonem: ut potens sit exhortari in doctrina sana, et eos qui contradicunt, arguere.
9He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.
10Sunt enim multi etiam inobedientes, vaniloqui, et seductores: maxime qui de circumcisione sunt:
10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
11quos oportet redargui: qui universas domos subvertunt, docentes quæ non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.
11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
12Dixit quidam ex illis, proprius ipsorum propheta: Cretenses semper mendaces, malæ bestiæ, ventres pigri.
12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13Testimonium hoc verum est. Quam ob causam increpa illos dure, ut sani sint in fide,
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
14non intendentes judaicis fabulis, et mandatis hominum, aversantium se a veritate.
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
15Omnia munda mundis: coinquinatis autem et infidelibus, nihil est mundum, sed inquinatæ sunt eorum et mens et conscientia.
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
16Confitentur se nosse Deum, factis autem negant: cum sint abominati, et incredibiles, et ad omne opus bonum reprobi.
16They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
