Tito 3
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Cómo debe vivir el creyente
3 Recuerda siempre a todos que deben someterse a los gobernantes y autoridades. Diles que obedezcan y siempre estén listos para hacer el bien, 2 que no hablen mal de nadie, vivan en paz con los demás, sean comprensivos y traten a todos con amabilidad.
3 Antes nosotros también éramos insensatos; no obedecíamos y estábamos perdidos. Éramos esclavos de toda clase de placeres y deseos, éramos malvados y envidiosos. Los demás nos odiaban y nosotros a ellos.
4 Pero Dios nuestro Salvador mostró
su bondad y su amor por la humanidad.
5 Él nos salvó gracias a su misericordia,
no por algo bueno que hubiéramos hecho.
Nos salvó lavándonos, dándonos una vida nueva
al renovarnos por medio del Espíritu Santo.
6 Dios derramó en abundancia el Espíritu Santo sobre nosotros
por medio de Jesucristo, nuestro Salvador.
7 Así que aprobados por el generoso amor de Dios,
disfrutamos de la esperanza de la vida eterna que Dios tiene para sus hijos.
8 Esto es cierto y quiero que insistas en ello para que los que creen en Dios dediquen su vida a hacer el bien. Esto es bueno y beneficia a todo el mundo. 9 Evita las discusiones tontas y las cuestiones sobre los antepasados. Aléjate también de controversias y peleas sobre la ley de Moisés. Eso no sirve para nada y no ayuda a nadie.
10 Si alguien causa divisiones entre los creyentes[a], hazle una advertencia. Si lo vuelve hacer, adviértele otra vez y si sigue causando divisiones, expúlsalo de la iglesia. 11 Tú sabes que alguien así tiene la mente retorcida y sus pecados lo condenan.
Comentarios finales
12 Después de que te envíe a Artemas o a Tíquico, haz todo lo posible por venir a verme a Nicópolis porque he decidido pasar allí el invierno. 13 Ayuda todo lo que puedas al abogado Zenas y a Apolos para que no les falte nada en su viaje. 14 Que nuestra gente aprenda a dedicarse a hacer el bien y a ayudar a los necesitados, así su vida no será inútil.
15 Todos los que están conmigo te mandan saludos. Saluda a nuestros amigos creyentes.
Que Dios los bendiga en abundancia a todos ustedes.

Titus 3
King James Version
3 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Be Ready for Every Good Work
3 (A)Remind them (B)to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be (C)ready for every good work, 2 to slander no one, (D)to be peaceable, (E)considerate, (F)demonstrating all gentleness to all men. 3 (G)For we ourselves also once were foolish, (H)disobedient, (I)deceived, (J)enslaved to (K)various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in (L)malice and (M)envy, despicable, hating one another. 4 But when the (N)kindness and affection of (O)God our Savior (P)appeared, 5 (Q)He saved us, (R)not by works which we did in righteousness, but (S)according to His mercy, through the (T)washing of regeneration and (U)renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 (V)whom He poured out upon us (W)richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that having been justified by His grace, we would become (X)heirs [a]according to the hope of eternal life. 8 (Y)This is a trustworthy saying. And concerning these things I (Z)want you to speak confidently, so that those who have (AA)believed God will be intent to (AB)lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for men. 9 But (AC)avoid (AD)foolish controversies and (AE)genealogies and strife and (AF)conflicts about the Law, for they are (AG)unprofitable and worthless. 10 (AH)Reject a (AI)factious man (AJ)after a first and second warning, 11 knowing that such a man is (AK)perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.
Personal Instructions and Greetings
12 When I send Artemas or (AL)Tychicus to you, (AM)be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to (AN)spend the winter there. 13 Diligently help send Zenas the (AO)lawyer and (AP)Apollos on their way so that nothing is lacking for them. 14 (AQ)And our people must also learn to (AR)lead in good [b]works to meet (AS)pressing needs, so that they will not be (AT)unfruitful.
15 (AU)All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us (AV)in the faith.
(AW)Grace be with you all.
