Tito 1
Lutherbibel 1545
1und halte ob dem Wort, das gewiß ist und lehren kann, auf daß er mächtig sei, zu ermahnen durch die heilsame Lehre und zu strafen die Widersprecher.
2Denn es sind viele freche und unnütze Schwätzer und Verführer, sonderlich die aus der Beschneidung,
3welchen man muß das Maul stopfen, die da ganze Häuser verkehren und lehren, was nicht taugt, um schändliches Gewinns willen.
4Es hat einer aus ihnen gesagt, ihr eigener Prophet: Die Kreter sind immer Lügner, böse Tiere und faule Bäuche.
5Dies Zeugnis ist wahr. Um der Sache willen strafe sie scharf, auf daß sie gesund seien im Glauben
6und nicht achten auf die jüdischen Fabeln und Menschengebote, welche sich von der Wahrheit abwenden.
7Den Reinen ist alles rein; den Unreinen aber und Ungläubigen ist nichts rein, sondern unrein ist beides, ihr Sinn und Gewissen.
8Sie sagen, sie erkennen Gott; aber mit den Werken verleugnen sie es, sintemal sie sind, an welchen Gott Greuel hat, und gehorchen nicht und sind zu allem guten Werk untüchtig.
9Du aber rede, wie sich's ziemet nach der heilsamen Lehre:
10den Alten, daß sie nüchtern seien, ehrbar, züchtig, gesund im Glauben, in der Liebe, in der Geduld;
11den alten Weibern desselbigengleichen, daß sie sich stellen, wie den Heiligen ziemet, nicht Lästerinnen seien, nicht Weinsäuferinnen, gute Lehrerinnen, 4. daß sie die jungen Weiber lehren züchtig sein, ihre Männer lieben, Kinder lieben,
12sittig sein, keusch, häuslich, gütig, ihren Männern untertan, auf daß nicht das Wort Gottes verlästert werde.
13Desselbigengleichen die jungen Männer ermahne, daß sie züchtig seien.
14Allenthalben aber stelle dich selbst zum Vorbilde guter Werke mit unverfälschter Lehre, mit Ehrbarkeit,
15mit heilsamem und untadeligem Wort, auf daß der Widerwärtige sich schäme und nichts habe, daß er von uns möge Böses sagen.
16Den Knechten daß sie ihren HERREN untertänig seien, in allen Dingen zu Gefallen tun, nicht widerbellen,
Reina-Valera 1909
1PABLO, siervo de Dios, y apóstol de Jesucristo, según la fe de los escogidos de Dios, y el conocimiento de la verdad que es según la piedad,
2Para la esperanza de la vida eterna, la cual Dios, que no puede mentir, prometió antes de los tiempos de los siglos,
3Y manifestó á sus tiempos su palabra por la predicación, que me es á mí encomendada por mandamiento de nuestro Salvador Dios;
4A Tito, verdadero hijo en la común fe: Gracia, misericordia, y paz de Dios Padre, y del Señor Jesucristo Salvador nuestro.
5Por esta causa te dejé en Creta, para que corrigieses lo que falta, y pusieses ancianos por las villas, así como yo te mandé:
6El que fuere sin crimen, marido de una mujer, que tenga hijos fieles que no estén acusados de disolución, ó contumaces.
7Porque es menester que el obispo sea sin crimen, como dispensador de Dios; no soberbio, no iracundo, no amador del vino, no heridor, no codicioso de torpes ganancias;
8Sino hospedador, amador de lo bueno, templado, justo, santo, continente;
9Retenedor de la fiel palabra que es conforme á la doctrina: para que también pueda exhortar con sana doctrina, y convencer á los que contradijeren.
10Porque hay aún muchos contumaces, habladores de vanidades, y engañadores de las almas, mayormente los que son de la circuncisión,
11A los cuales es preciso tapar la boca; que trastornan casas enteras; enseñando lo que no conviene, por torpe ganancia.
12Dijo uno de ellos, propio profeta de ellos: Los Cretenses, siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, vientres perezosos.
13Este testimonio es verdadero: por tanto, repréndelos duramente, para que sean sanos en la fe,
14No atendiendo á fábulas judaicas, y á mandamientos de hombres que se apartan de la verdad.
15Todas las cosas son limpias á los limpios; mas á los contaminados é infieles nada es limpio: antes su alma y conciencia están contaminadas.
16Profésanse conocer á Dios; mas con los hechos lo niegan, siendo abominables y rebeldes, reprobados para toda buena obra.
King James Version
1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
3But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
4To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
12One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
World English Bible
1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;
3but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
4to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
6if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
9holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
10For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
12One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
13This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
15To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
