Tito 3
La Biblia de las Américas
La base de la salvación
3 Recuérdales (A) que estén sujetos a los gobernantes(B), a las autoridades; que sean obedientes, que estén preparados para toda buena obra(C); 2 que no injurien a nadie, que no sean contenciosos(D), sino amables(E), mostrando toda consideración para con todos los hombres(F). 3 Porque nosotros también en otro tiempo éramos necios(G), desobedientes(H), extraviados(I), esclavos(J) de deleites y placeres diversos(K), viviendo en malicia(L) y envidia(M), aborrecibles y odiándonos unos a otros. 4 Pero cuando se manifestó(N) la bondad(O) de Dios nuestro Salvador(P), y su amor hacia la humanidad, 5 Él nos salvó(Q), no por obras de[a] justicia que nosotros hubiéramos hecho(R), sino conforme a su misericordia(S), por medio del lavamiento de la regeneración(T) y la renovación por el Espíritu Santo(U), 6 que Él derramó sobre nosotros(V) abundantemente por medio de Jesucristo(W) nuestro Salvador, 7 para que justificados por su gracia fuésemos hechos herederos(X) según la esperanza de la vida eterna[b]. 8 Palabra fiel es esta(Y), y en cuanto a estas cosas quiero que hables con firmeza[c](Z), para que los que han creído en Dios procuren ocuparse(AA) en buenas obras(AB). Estas cosas son buenas y útiles para los hombres. 9 Pero evita(AC) controversias necias(AD), genealogías(AE), contiendas y discusiones acerca de la ley(AF), porque son sin provecho y sin valor(AG). 10 Al hombre que cause divisiones(AH), después de la primera y segunda amonestación(AI), deséchalo(AJ), 11 sabiendo que el tal es perverso y peca(AK), habiéndose condenado a sí mismo.
Recomendaciones finales y bendición
12 Cuando te envíe a Artemas o a Tíquico(AL), procura venir a mí(AM) en Nicópolis, porque he decidido pasar allí el invierno(AN). 13 Encamina con diligencia a Zenas, intérprete de la ley(AO), y a Apolos(AP), para que nada les falte. 14 Y que nuestro pueblo(AQ) aprenda a ocuparse en buenas obras(AR), atendiendo a las necesidades apremiantes(AS), para que no estén sin fruto(AT).
15 Todos los que están conmigo te saludan(AU). Saluda a los que nos aman en la fe(AV).
La gracia sea con todos vosotros(AW).
Titus 3
Living Bible
3 Remind your people to obey the government and its officers, and always to be obedient and ready for any honest work. 2 They must not speak evil of anyone, nor quarrel, but be gentle and truly courteous to all.
3 Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient; we were misled by others and became slaves to many evil pleasures and wicked desires. Our lives were full of resentment and envy. We hated others and they hated us.
4 But when the time came for the kindness and love of God our Savior to appear, 5 then he saved us—not because we were good enough to be saved but because of his kindness and pity—by washing away our sins and giving us the new joy of the indwelling Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out upon us with wonderful fullness—and all because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did 7 so that he could declare us good in God’s eyes—all because of his great kindness; and now we can share in the wealth of the eternal life he gives us, and we are eagerly looking forward to receiving it. 8 These things I have told you are all true. Insist on them so that Christians will be careful to do good deeds all the time, for this is not only right, but it brings results.
9 Don’t get involved in arguing over unanswerable questions and controversial theological ideas; keep out of arguments and quarrels about obedience to Jewish laws, for this kind of thing isn’t worthwhile; it only does harm. 10 If anyone is causing divisions among you, he should be given a first and second warning. After that have nothing more to do with him, 11 for such a person has a wrong sense of values. He is sinning, and he knows it.
12 I am planning to send either Artemas or Tychicus to you. As soon as one of them arrives, please try to meet me at Nicopolis as quickly as you can, for I have decided to stay there for the winter. 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos with their trip; see that they are given everything they need. 14 For our people must learn to help all who need their assistance, that their lives will be fruitful.
15 Everybody here sends greetings. Please say hello to all of the Christian friends there. May God’s blessings be with you all.
Sincerely, Paul
Titus 3
English Standard Version
Be Ready for Every Good Work
3 Remind them (A)to be submissive to rulers and authorities, (B)to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 (C)to speak evil of no one, (D)to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and (E)to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For (F)we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when (G)the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, (H)not because of works done by us in righteousness, but (I)according to his own mercy, by (J)the washing of regeneration and (K)renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he (L)poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that (M)being justified by his grace we might become (N)heirs (O)according to the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is (P)trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful (Q)to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. 9 But (R)avoid foolish (S)controversies, (T)genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for (U)they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 As for a person who stirs up division, (V)after warning him once and then twice, (W)have nothing more to do with him, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.
Final Instructions and Greetings
12 When I send Artemas or (X)Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me (Y)at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and (Z)Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. 14 And let our people learn (AA)to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not (AB)be unfruitful.
15 All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
(AC)Grace be with you all.
