| Titus 1:1 | Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, | Paul, a bondservant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ for building up the faith of God's own people and spreading a full knowledge of the truths of religion, | Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion, |
| Titus 1:2 | in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal; | in hope of the Life of the Ages which God, who is never false to His word, promised before the commencement of the Ages. | In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true; |
| Titus 1:3 | but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour; | And at the appointed time He clearly made known His Message in the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Saviour: | Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher; |
| Titus 1:4 | to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. | To Titus my own true child in our common faith. May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. | To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. |
| Titus 1:5 | For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge; | I have left you behind in Crete in order that you may set right the things which still require attention, and appoint Elders in every town, as I directed you to do; | I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you; |
| Titus 1:6 | if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly. | wherever there is a man of blameless life, true to his one wife, having children who are themselves believers and are free from every reproach of profligacy or of stubborn self-will. | Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled. |
| Titus 1:7 | For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; | For, as God's steward, a minister must be of blameless life, not over-fond of having his own way, not a man of a passionate temper nor a hard drinker, not given to blows nor greedy of gain, | For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself; |
| Titus 1:8 | but given to hospitality, as lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled; | but hospitable to strangers, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, upright, saintly, self-controlled; | But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled; |
| Titus 1:9 | holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers. | holding fast to the faithful Message which he has received, so that he may be well qualified both to encourage others with sound teaching and to reply successfully to opponents. | Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters. |
| Titus 1:10 | For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision, | For there are many that spurn authority idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision. | For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision, |
| Titus 1:11 | whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. | You must stop the mouths of such men, for they overthrow the faith of whole families, teaching what they ought not, just for the sake of making money. | By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped. |
| Titus 1:12 | One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons. | One of their own number a Prophet who is a countryman of theirs has said, "Cretans are always liars, dangerous animals, idle gluttons." | One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work. |
| Titus 1:13 | This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, | This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith, | This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith, |
| Titus 1:14 | not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. | and not give attention to Jewish legends and the maxims of men who turn their backs on the truth. | Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge. |
| Titus 1:15 | To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. | To the pure everything is pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure, but on the contrary their very minds and consciences are polluted. | To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought. |
| Titus 1:16 | They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. | They profess to know God; but in their actions they disown Him, and are detestable and disobedient men, and for any good work are utterly useless. | They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work. |
