Tito 3
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Mabuting Pamumuhay
3 Paalalahanan mo ang mga kapatid na magpasakop sa mga pinuno at maykapangyarihan, maging masunurin, at laging maging handa sa paggawa ng mabuti. 2 Turuan mo rin silang huwag manira ng kapwa, huwag makipag-away, maging mahinahon, at maging magalang sa lahat. 3 Tayo rin noong una ay mga hangal, mga suwail, naliligaw, at naging alipin ng sari-saring pagnanasa at layaw. Namuhay tayo sa kasamaan at inggit. Kinapootan tayo ng iba at sila nama'y kinapootan natin. 4 Ngunit nang mahayag ang kabutihan at pag-ibig ng Diyos na ating Tagapagligtas, 5 iniligtas niya tayo, hindi dahil sa ating mabubuting gawa kundi dahil sa kanyang habag. Iniligtas niya tayo sa pamamagitan ng paglilinis ng muling kapanganakan at pagbabagong buhay na dulot ng Banal na Espiritu, 6 na masaganang ibinuhos ng Diyos sa atin sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo na ating Tagapagligtas. 7 Nangyari ito upang tayo'y maging tagapagmana ayon sa pag-asa sa walang hanggang buhay, yamang tayo'y itinuring na matuwid sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kagandahang-loob. 8 Mapagkakatiwalaan ang salitang ito kaya't nais kong bigyang-diin mo ito sa iyong pagtuturo sa mga mananampalataya sa Diyos upang italaga nila ang kanilang sarili sa paggawa ng mabuti, na siya namang kapaki-pakinabang sa mga tao. 9 Iwasan mo ang mga walang-kabuluhang pagtatalo, ang mga talaan ng mga salinlahi, at ang mga pagtatalo't alitan tungkol sa Kautusan. Walang halaga at walang kabutihang maidudulot ang mga iyan. 10 Pagkatapos mong bigyan ng una at pangalawang babala, iwasan mo na ang sinumang lumilikha ng pagkakampi-kampi. 11 Alam mong ang ganyang uri ng tao ay marumi ang pag-iisip, masama at hayag sa kanilang ginagawa na sila'y hinatulan.
Mga Tagubilin at Basbas
12 Pagkasugo (A) ko riyan kay Artemas o kay Tiquico, sikapin mong puntahan ako sa Nicopolis sapagkat ipinasya kong doon magpalipas ng taglamig. 13 Gawin (B) mo ang iyong makakaya upang tulungan sa paglalakbay sina Apolos at si Zenas na dalubhasa sa batas. Tiyakin mong sapat ang kanilang mga dadalhin sa paglalakbay. 14 Dapat matutuhan ng ating mga kapatid na iukol ang kanilang sarili sa paggawa ng mabuti upang makatulong sila sa mga pangangailangan, at maging kapaki-pakinabang.
15 Binabati ka ng lahat ng mga kasama ko rito. Batiin mo ang mga nagmamahal sa atin sa pananampalataya.
Sumainyong lahat ang biyaya ng Diyos.[a]

Titus 3
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
3 Remind people to be submissive to [their] magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be prepared and willing to do any upright and honorable work,
2 To slander or abuse or speak evil of no one, to avoid being contentious, to be forbearing (yielding, gentle, and conciliatory), and to show unqualified courtesy toward everybody.
3 For we also were once thoughtless and senseless, obstinate and disobedient, deluded and misled; [we too were once] slaves to all sorts of cravings and pleasures, wasting our days in malice and jealousy and envy, hateful (hated, detestable) and hating one another.
4 But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Savior to man [as man] appeared,
5 He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 Which He poured out [so] richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.
7 [And He did it in order] that we might be justified by His grace (by His favor, wholly undeserved), [that we might be acknowledged and counted as conformed to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action], and that we might become heirs of eternal life according to [our] hope.
8 This message is most trustworthy, and concerning these things I want you to insist steadfastly, so that those who have believed in (trusted in, relied on) God may be careful to apply themselves to honorable occupations and to doing good, for such things are [not only] excellent and right [in themselves], but [they are] good and profitable for the people.
9 But avoid stupid and foolish controversies and genealogies and dissensions and wrangling about the Law, for they are unprofitable and futile.
10 [As for] a man who is factious [a heretical sectarian and cause of divisions], after admonishing him a first and second time, reject [him from your fellowship and have nothing more to do with him],
11 Well aware that such a person has utterly changed (is perverted and corrupted); he goes on sinning [though he] is convicted of guilt and self-condemned.
12 When I send Artemas or [perhaps] Tychicus to you, lose no time but make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
13 Do your utmost to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they want for (lack) nothing.
14 And let our own [people really] learn to apply themselves to good deeds (to honest labor and honorable employment), so that they may be able to meet necessary demands [a]whenever the occasion may require and not be living idle and uncultivated and unfruitful lives.
15 All who are with me wish to be remembered to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace (God’s favor and blessing) be with you all. Amen (so be it).
