(A)This statement is trustworthy; and concerning these things I (B)want you to speak confidently, so that those who have (C)believed God will be careful to (D)engage in good deeds. These things are good and beneficial for people. But (E)avoid (F)foolish controversies and (G)genealogies and strife and (H)disputes about the Law, for they are (I)useless and worthless. 10 (J)Reject a [a](K)divisive person (L)after a first and second warning, 11 knowing that such a person has (M)deviated from what is right and is sinning, being self-condemned.

Personal Concerns

12 When I send Artemas or (N)Tychicus to you, (O)make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to (P)spend the winter there. 13 Diligently help Zenas the (Q)lawyer and (R)Apollos on their way so that nothing is lacking for them. 14 (S)Our people must also learn to (T)engage in good [b]deeds to meet (U)pressing needs, so that they will not be (V)unproductive.

15 (W)All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us (X)in the faith.

(Y)Grace be with you all.

Notas al pie

  1. Titus 3:10 Or factious
  2. Titus 3:14 Or occupations

This is a trustworthy saying.(A) And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.(B) These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

But avoid(C) foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels(D) about the law,(E) because these are unprofitable and useless.(F) 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.(G) 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

Final Remarks

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus(H) to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.(I) 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos(J) on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,(K) in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.

15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.(L)

Grace be with you all.(M)
