Titus 1
New American Standard Bible
Salutation
1 Paul, (A)a bond-servant of God and an (B)apostle of Jesus Christ, [a]for the faith of those (C)chosen of God and (D)the knowledge of the truth which is (E)according to godliness, 2 in (F)the hope of eternal life, which God, (G)who cannot lie, (H)promised [b](I)long ages ago, 3 but (J)at the proper time revealed His word in (K)the proclamation (L)with which I was entrusted (M)according to the commandment of (N)God our Savior;
4 To (O)Titus, (P)my true [c]son [d]in a (Q)common faith: (R)Grace and peace from God the Father and (S)Christ Jesus our Savior.
Qualifications of Elders
5 For this reason I left you in (T)Crete, that you would set in order what remains and (U)appoint (V)elders in every city as I directed you, 6 namely, (W)if any man is beyond reproach, the (X)husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of (Y)indecent behavior or (Z)rebellion. 7 For the [e](AA)overseer must be beyond reproach as (AB)God’s steward, not (AC)self-willed, not quick-tempered, not (AD)overindulging in wine, not [f]a bully, (AE)not greedy for money, 8 but (AF)hospitable, (AG)loving what is good, self-controlled, righteous, holy, disciplined, 9 (AH)holding firmly the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to [g]exhort in (AI)sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it.
10 (AJ)For there are many (AK)rebellious people, (AL)empty talkers and deceivers, especially (AM)those of the circumcision, 11 who must be silenced because they are upsetting (AN)whole families, teaching (AO)things they should not teach (AP)for the sake of [h]dishonest gain. 12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “(AQ)Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. For this reason (AR)reprimand them (AS)severely so that they may be (AT)sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish (AU)myths and (AV)commandments of men who (AW)turn away from the truth. 15 (AX)To the pure, all things are pure; but (AY)to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their (AZ)mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 (BA)They profess to know God, but by their deeds they (BB)deny Him, being (BC)detestable and (BD)disobedient and (BE)worthless (BF)for any good deed.

Pagbati
1 Mula kay Pablo, alipin ng Diyos at apostol ni Jesu-Cristo. Sinugo ako upang patibayin ang pananampalataya ng mga hinirang ng Diyos at kanilang malaman ang katotohanang aakay sa kabanalan, 2 upang sila'y magkaroon ng pag-asa sa buhay na walang hanggan, na bago pa nagsimula ang mga panahon ay ipinangako na ng Diyos, ang Diyos na hindi nagsisinungaling. 3 At sa takdang panahon ay ipinahayag niya ang kanyang salita sa pamamagitan ng pangangaral na ipinagkatiwala sa akin ayon sa utos ng Diyos na ating Tagapagligtas. 4 Para (A) kay Tito na tunay kong anak sa iisang pananampalatayang aming pinagsasamahan: Sumaiyo ang kagandahang-loob at kapayapaan buhat sa ating Diyos Ama at kay Cristo Jesus na ating Tagapagligtas.
Ang Gawain ni Tito sa Creta
5 Iniwan kita sa Creta upang ayusin doon ang mga bagay at upang pumili ka ng matatandang pinuno sa iglesya sa bawat bayan. Gaya ng ipinagbilin ko sa iyo, 6 (B) ang pipiliin mo ay mga taong walang kapintasan, iisa lang ang asawa, at ang mga anak ay mananampalataya, hindi nanggugulo at hindi suwail. 7 Bilang katiwala ng Diyos, kailangang walang kapintasan ang isang tagapangasiwa,[a] hindi mayabang, hindi magagalitin, hindi lasenggo, hindi marahas, at hindi sakim. 8 Sa halip ay bukás ang tahanan sa mga panauhin, maibigin sa kabutihan, mahinahon, makatarungan, maka-Diyos, at marunong magpigil sa sarili. 9 Dapat na matibay ang kanyang paninindigan sa mga pagkakatiwalaang aral na natutuhan niya, upang maipangaral niya ang wastong aral sa iba at masaway ang mga sumasalungat dito.
10 Sapagkat marami ang ayaw magpasakop, mapagsalita ng walang kabuluhan, at mga mandaraya, lalung-lalo na ang mga nasa panig ng pagtutuli. 11 Kailangan na silang patahimikin sapagkat winawasak nila ang mga sambahayan sa pagtuturo ng mga bagay na di dapat ituro para lang sa pansariling pakinabang. 12 Isa na rin sa mga propetang taga-Creta ang nagsabi,
‘Ang mga taga-Creta ay sinungaling, asal-hayop, batugan, at matatakaw.’ 13 Totoo ang salitang ito. Kaya't buong tapang mo silang sawayin upang maituwid sila sa pananampalataya 14 at huwag nang makinig sa mga kathang-isip ng mga Judio, at sa mga turo ng mga taong tumalikod na sa katotohanan. 15 Malinis ang lahat ng bagay sa taong malinis, ngunit sa marurumi at di sumasampalataya, walang bagay na malinis dahil marumi ang kanilang budhi at isipan. 16 Sinasabi nilang kilala nila ang Diyos ngunit ikinakaila naman ng kanilang gawain ang Diyos. Sila'y kasuklam-suklam sa Diyos, mga suwail, at hindi nararapat para sa anumang mabuting gawa.

Titus 1
New International Version
1 Paul, a servant of God(A) and an apostle(B) of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth(C) that leads to godliness(D)— 2 in the hope of eternal life,(E) which God, who does not lie,(F) promised before the beginning of time,(G) 3 and which now at his appointed season(H) he has brought to light(I) through the preaching entrusted to me(J) by the command of God(K) our Savior,(L)
4 To Titus,(M) my true son(N) in our common faith:
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.(O)
Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good(P)
5 The reason I left you in Crete(Q) was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint[a] elders(R) in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must be blameless,(S) faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe[b] and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer(T) manages God’s household,(U) he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.(V) 8 Rather, he must be hospitable,(W) one who loves what is good,(X) who is self-controlled,(Y) upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly(Z) to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine(AA) and refute those who oppose it.
Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good
10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk(AB) and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.(AC) 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households(AD) by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets(AE) has said it: “Cretans(AF) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[c] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(AG) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(AH) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(AI) or to the merely human commands(AJ) of those who reject the truth.(AK) 15 To the pure, all things are pure,(AL) but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.(AM) In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.(AN) 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.(AO) They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.(AP)
