2 in spem vitaeaeternae, quam promisit, qui non mentitur, Deus ante tempora saecularia;	2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world:
3 manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in praedicatione, quae creditaest mihi secundum praeceptum salvatoris nostri Dei,	3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior:
4 Tito germano filiosecundum communem fidem: gratia et pax a Deo Patre et Christo Iesu salvatorenostro.	4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Savior.
5 Huius rei gratia reliqui te Cretae, ut ea, quae desunt, corrigas et constituasper civitates presbyteros, sicut ego tibi disposui,	5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
6 si quis sine crimine est,unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriae aut nonsubiectos.	6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
7 Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse sicut Dei dispensatorem,non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucricupidum,	7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
8 sed hospitalem, benignum, sobrium, iustum, sanctum, continentem,	8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
9 amplectentem eum, qui secundum doctrinam est, fidelem sermonem, ut potens sit etexhortari in doctrina sana et eos, qui contradicunt, arguere.	9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
10 Sunt enim multi et non subiecti, vaniloqui et seductores, maxime qui decircumcisione sunt,	10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
11 quibus oportet silentium imponere, quia universas domossubvertunt docentes, quae non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.	11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 Dixit quidam exillis, proprius ipsorum propheta: “ Cretenses semper mendaces, malae bestiae,ventres pigri ”.	12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
13 Testimonium hoc verum est. Quam ob causam increpa illosdure, ut sani sint in fide,	13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 non intendentes Iudaicis fabulis et mandatishominum aversantium veritatem.	14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
15 Omnia munda mundis; coinquinatis autem et infidelibus nihil mundum, sedinquinatae sunt eorum et mens et conscientia.	15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16 Confitentur se nosse Deum, factis autem negant, cum sunt abominati etinoboedientes et ad omne opus bonum reprobi.16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
