Tit 1

Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014

1 Pavel, rob al lui Dumnezeu şi apostol al lui Isus Hristos potrivit cu credinţa aleşilor lui Dumnezeu şi cunoştinţa^(A) adevărului, care este potrivit cu evlavia^(B), ²în nădejdea^(C) vieţii veşnice, făgăduite mai înainte de veşnicii^(D) de Dumnezeu, care nu poate să mintă^(E), ³ci^(F) Şi-a descoperit Cuvântul la vremea Lui prin propovăduirea care^(G) mi-a fost încredinţată după^(H) porunca lui Dumnezeu, Mântuitorul nostru, ⁴către Tit^(I), adevăratul^(J) meu copil în credinţa^(K) noastră, a amândurora: Har^(L) şi pace de la Dumnezeu Tatăl şi de la Isus Hristos, Mântuitorul nostru! ⁵Te-am lăsat în Creta ca să pui în rânduială^(M) ce mai rămâne de rânduit şi să aşezi^(N) prezbiteri^[a] în fiecare cetate, după cum ţi-am poruncit: ⁶Dacă^(O) este cineva fără prihană, bărbat^(P) al unei singure neveste, având^(Q) copiii credincioşi, care să nu fie învinuiţi de destrăbălare sau neascultare. ⁷Căci episcopul^[b], ca^(R) econom al lui Dumnezeu, trebuie să fie fără prihană, nu încăpăţânat, nici mânios, nici dedat^(S) la vin, nici bătăuş, nici lacom de câştig mârşav^(T), ⁸ci^(U) să fie primitor de oaspeţi, iubitor de bine, cumpătat, drept, sfânt, înfrânat, ⁹să se ţină^(V) de Cuvântul^(W) adevărat, care este potrivit cu învăţătura, pentru ca să fie în stare să sfătuiască în învăţătura sănătoasă^(X) şi să înfrunte pe potrivnici. ¹⁰În adevăr, mai ales printre cei tăiaţi împrejur, sunt^(Y) mulţi nesupuşi, flecari şi amăgitori^(Z), ¹¹cărora^(AA) trebuie să li se astupe gura. Ei buimăcesc^(AB) familii întregi, învăţând pe oameni, pentru^(AC) un câştig urât, lucruri, pe care nu trebuie să le înveţe. ¹²Unul^(AD) dintre ei, chiar proroc al lor, a zis: „Cretanii sunt totdeauna nişte mincinoşi, nişte fiare rele, nişte pântece leneşe”. ¹³Mărturia aceasta este adevărată. De aceea^(AE) mustră-i aspru, ca să fie sănătoşi în credinţă^(AF) ¹⁴şi să nu^(AG) se ţină de basme evreieşti şi de porunci^(AH) date de oameni, care se întorc de la adevăr. ¹⁵Totul^(AI) este curat pentru cei curaţi, dar, pentru cei^(AJ) necuraţi şi necredincioşi, nimic nu este curat: până şi mintea şi cugetul le sunt spurcate. ¹⁶Ei se laudă că cunosc pe Dumnezeu, dar cu^(AK) faptele Îl tăgăduiesc, căci sunt o scârbă: nesupuşi şi netrebnici pentru^(AL) orice faptă bună.

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)— ²in the hope of eternal life,^(E) which God, who does not lie,^(F) promised before the beginning of time,^(G) ³and 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)

⁴To 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)

⁵The 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. ⁶An 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. ⁷Since 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) ⁸Rather, he must be hospitable,^(W) one who loves what is good,^(X) who is self-controlled,^(Y) upright, holy and disciplined. ⁹He 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

¹⁰For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk^(AB) and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.^(AC) ¹¹They 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. ¹²One of Crete’s own prophets^(AE) has said it: “Cretans^(AF) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”^[c] ¹³This saying is true. Therefore rebuke^(AG) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith^(AH) ¹⁴and will pay no attention to Jewish myths^(AI) or to the merely human commands^(AJ) of those who reject the truth.^(AK) ¹⁵To 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) ¹⁶They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.^(AO) They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.^(AP)

Titus 1

King James Version

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

²In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

³But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

⁴To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

⁵For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

⁶If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

⁷For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

⁸But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

⁹Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

¹⁰For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

¹¹Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

¹²One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

¹³This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

¹⁴Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

¹⁵Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

¹⁶They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
