Tito 1
Magandang Balita Biblia
1 Mula kay Pablo, lingkod[a] ng Diyos at apostol ni Jesu-Cristo.
Sinugo ako upang patibayin ang pananampalataya ng mga hinirang ng Diyos, at upang palawakin ang kanilang kaalaman sa katotohanan tungkol sa pamumuhay na maka-Diyos, 2 at bigyan sila ng pag-asa sa buhay na walang hanggan. Bago pa likhain ang sanlibutan, ang buhay na ito'y ipinangako na ng Diyos na kailanma'y hindi nagsisinungaling. 3 Ipinahayag niya ito sa kanyang salita sa takdang panahon, at ako ang napagkatiwalaang mangaral nito, ayon sa utos ng Diyos na ating Tagapagligtas.
4 Kay Tito, na tunay kong anak sa iisa nating pananampalataya.
Sumaiyo nawa ang pagpapala at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos Ama at mula sa ating Tagapagligtas na si Cristo Jesus.
Mga Gawain ni Tito sa Creta
5 Iniwan kita sa Creta upang ayusin mo ang mga bagay na dapat pang ayusin at upang magtalaga ka ng matatandang pinuno ng iglesya sa bawat bayan, ayon sa iniutos ko sa iyo. 6 Italaga(A) mo ang mga taong walang kapintasan; isa lamang ang asawa, at ang mga anak ay mananampalataya, may pagpipigil sa sarili at hindi suwail. 7 Bilang katiwala ng Diyos, kailangang walang kapintasan ang isang tagapangasiwa[b] ng iglesya. Hindi siya dapat mayabang, hindi magagalitin, hindi lasenggo, hindi mapusok o sakim, 8 bukás ang tahanan sa mga panauhin, maibigin sa kabutihan, mahinahon, matuwid, may kabanalan, at marunong magpigil sa sarili. 9 Kailangang matatag siyang nananalig sa mga tunay na aral na natutunan niya, upang ito'y maituro naman niya sa iba at maipakita ang kamalian ng mga sumasalungat dito.
10 Sapagkat maraming tao, lalung-lalo na ang mga galing sa Judaismo, ang suwail at nanlilinlang sa iba sa pamamagitan ng mga katuruang walang kabuluhan. 11 Kailangang pigilan sila sa kanilang mga ginagawa sapagkat ginugulo nila ang mga pamilya at nagtuturo ng mga bagay na hindi dapat ituro, kumita lamang sila ng salapi. 12 Isa na ring taga-Creta na kinikilala nilang propeta ang nagsabi, “Ang mga taga-Creta ay palaging sinungaling, asal-hayop, batugan, at matakaw.” 13 Tama ang kanyang sinabi, kaya't mahigpit mo silang pagsabihan upang maging wasto ang kanilang pananampalataya, 14 at huwag nang maniwala pa sa mga alamat ng mga Judio, o sa katuruan ng mga taong tumalikod sa katotohanan. 15 Malinis ang lahat ng bagay sa may malinis na isipan, ngunit sa masasama at di-sumasampalataya, walang bagay na malinis sapagkat marumi ang kanilang budhi at isipan. 16 Ang sabi nila'y kilala nila ang Diyos, ngunit ito'y pinapasinungalingan ng kanilang mga gawa. Sila'y kasuklam-suklam, suwail at hindi nababagay sa gawang mabuti.
Titus 1
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Paul, a servant[a] of God and (A)an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God's elect and (B)their knowledge of the truth, (C)which accords with godliness, 2 (D)in hope of eternal life, which God, (E)who never lies, (F)promised (G)before the ages began[b] 3 and (H)at the proper time manifested in his word[c] (I)through the preaching (J)with which I have been entrusted (K)by the command of God our Savior;
4 To Titus, (L)my true child in (M)a common faith:
(N)Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Qualifications for Elders
5 (O)This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and (P)appoint elders in every town as I directed you— 6 (Q)if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife,[d] and his children are believers[e] and not open to the charge of (R)debauchery or insubordination. 7 For an overseer,[f] (S)as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not (T)be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent (U)or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, (V)and disciplined. 9 He must (W)hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in (X)sound[g] doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
10 For there are many who are insubordinate, (Y)empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of (Z)the circumcision party.[h] 11 They must be silenced, since (AA)they are upsetting whole families by teaching (AB)for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. 12 (AC)One of the Cretans,[i] a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”[j] 13 This testimony is true. Therefore (AD)rebuke them (AE)sharply, that they (AF)may be sound in the faith, 14 (AG)not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and (AH)the commands of people (AI)who turn away from the truth. 15 (AJ)To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and (AK)unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both (AL)their minds and their consciences are defiled. 16 (AM)They profess to know God, but they (AN)deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, (AO)unfit for any good work.

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)
