5 For charin this reason houtos I left apoleipō you sy in en Crete Krētē, so that hina you might put right epidiorthoō the ho remaining things leipō and kai appoint kathistēmi elders presbyteros in every kata town polis, as hōs I egō directed diatassō you sy— 6 if ei anyone tis is eimi above reproach anenklētos, a man anēr of one heis woman gynē, having echō believing pistos children teknon, not mē open to en the charge katēgoria of debauchery asōtia or ē being rebellious anypotaktos. 7 For gar it is necessary dei for an ho overseer episkopos to be eimi above reproach anenklētos as hōs a steward oikonomos of God theos, not mē arrogant authadēs, not mē quick-tempered orgilos, not mē a drunkard paroinos, not mē violent plēktēs, not mē greedy aischrokerdēs for gain , 8 but alla hospitable philoxenos, loving what is good philagathos, self-controlled sōphrōn, just dikaios, holy hosios, disciplined enkratēs, 9 holding fast to antechō the ho trustworthy pistos word logos that is in accordance with kata the ho teaching didachē, so that hina he might be eimi able dynatos both kai to exhort parakaleō with en · ho healthy hygiainō doctrine didaskalia · ho and kai to rebuke elenchō those ho who oppose antilegō it.

Titusbrevet 1
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)

1-2 Från Paulus, Guds tjänare, utsänd av Jesus Kristus med trons budskap till dem som Gud har utvalt för att de ska lära känna Guds sanning, som leder till evigt liv. Gud, som inte kan ljuga, har ju lovat oss detta för mycket länge sedan.

3 När tiden var inne, lät han oss få del av dessa goda nyheter, och gav mig i uppdrag att berätta om dem för alla människor. Det var en befallning från Gud, vår Frälsare.

4 Till Titus, du som i sanning är min son i den gemensamma tron. Jag hälsar dig med välsignelse och frid från Gud, Fadern, och Kristus Jesus, vår Frälsare.

En ledare måste uppfylla vissa krav

5 Jag lämnade dig kvar på Kreta för att du skulle hjälpa och styrka de olika församlingarna, och för att i varje stad utse församlingsledare efter mina instruktioner.

6 De män du väljer måste ha gott anseende. De får bara leva tillsammans med den kvinna de är gift med, och deras barn måste följa Herren och inte ha rykte om sig att vara upproriska eller olydiga.

7 De som har ansvar för församlingen måste som Guds tjänare leva ett fläckfritt liv. De får inte vara högfärdiga, häftiga eller våldsamma, inte missbruka vin eller vara giriga.

8 De måste vara gästfria, förståndiga, rättvisa och behärskade, och inställda på att alltid göra gott.

9 Deras tro på den sanning som de har fått undervisning om måste vara stark och fast, så att de kan undervisa andra om den, och överbevisa dem som inte håller med dem.

Varning för falska lärare

10 Det finns nämligen många som inte vill lyssna till det vi säger. Det gäller särskilt dem som säger att alla kristna måste följa de judiska lagarna. Detta är ju bara tomt prat som för människor bakom ljuset

11 och måste stoppas. Hela familjer har redan blivit ledda bort från Guds nåd av sådana som bara är ute efter pengar.

12 En av deras egna män, en profet från Kreta, har sagt om dem: Dessa män på Kreta är lögnare allihop! De är lata och glupska och beter sig som vilda djur.

13 Det är så sant som det är sagt. Tillrättavisa dem därför skarpt så deras tro blir sund,

14 och de slutar att lyssna till judiska sagor och krav från män som har vänt sanningen ryggen.

15 En människa som har ett rent samvete upptäcker det positiva, goda och rena i allting, men den som har ont i sinnet och saknar tro, ser bara det negativa och onda. Hennes upproriska och osunda inre smittar av sig på allt hon ser och gör.

16 Sådana människor påstår ofta att de känner Gud, men när man ser deras sätt att leva och handla förstår man hur det är. De är avskyvärda och olydiga, och man kan aldrig vänta sig något gott från dem.

Titus 1
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

I. Address

Chapter 1

Greeting.[a] 1 Paul, a slave of God and apostle of Jesus Christ for the sake of the faith of God’s chosen ones and the recognition of religious truth,(A) 2 in the hope of eternal life that God, who does not lie, promised before time began,(B) 3 who indeed at the proper time revealed his word in the proclamation with which I was entrusted by the command of God our savior,(C) 4 to Titus, my true child in our common faith: grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our savior.(D)

II. Pastoral Charge

Titus in Crete. 5 [b]For this reason I left you in Crete so that you might set right what remains to be done and appoint presbyters in every town, as I directed you, 6 (E)on condition that a man be blameless, married only once, with believing children who are not accused of licentiousness or rebellious. 7 For a bishop as God’s steward must be blameless, not arrogant, not irritable, not a drunkard, not aggressive, not greedy for sordid gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of goodness, temperate, just, holy, and self-controlled, 9 holding fast to the true message as taught so that he will be able both to exhort with sound doctrine and to refute opponents.(F) 10 [c]For there are also many rebels, idle talkers and deceivers, especially the Jewish Christians.[d] 11 It is imperative to silence them, as they are upsetting whole families by teaching for sordid gain what they should not. 12 One of them, a prophet of their own, once said, “Cretans have always been liars, vicious beasts, and lazy gluttons.”[e] 13 That testimony is true. Therefore, admonish them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith,(G) 14 instead of paying attention to Jewish myths and regulations of people who have repudiated the truth.(H) 15 To the clean all things are clean, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is clean; in fact, both their minds and their consciences are tainted.(I) 16 They claim to know God, but by their deeds they deny him. They are vile and disobedient and unqualified for any good deed.

Footnotes

  1. 1:1–4 On the epistolary form, see note on Rom 1:1–7. The apostolate is the divinely appointed mission to lead others to the true faith and through it to eternal salvation (Ti 1:1–3).
  2. 1:5–9 This instruction on the selection and appointment of presbyters, substantially identical with that in 1 Tm 3:1–7 on a bishop (see note there), was aimed at strengthening the authority of Titus by apostolic mandate; cf. Ti 2:15. In Ti 1:5, 7 and Acts 20:17, 28, the terms episkopos and presbyteros (“bishop” and “presbyter”) refer to the same persons. Deacons are not mentioned in Titus. See also note on Phil 1:1.
  3. 1:10–16 This adverse criticism of the defects within the community is directed especially against certain Jewish Christians, who busy themselves with useless speculations over persons mentioned in the Old Testament, insist on the observance of Jewish ritual purity regulations, and thus upset whole families by teaching things they have no right to teach; cf. Ti 3:9; 1 Tm 1:3–10.
  4. 1:10 Jewish Christians: literally, “those of the circumcision.”
  5. 1:12 Cretans…gluttons: quoted from Epimenides, a Cretan poet of the sixth century B.C.

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)
