Titus 1
| 1:1 | Paul, a servant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in accord with the faith of God’s elect and in acknowledgment of the truth which is accompanied by piety, |
| 1:2 | in the hope of the eternal life that God, who does not lie, promised before the ages of time, |
| 1:3 | welche, at the proper time, he has manifested by his Word, in the preaching that has been entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior; |
| 1:4 | to Titus, beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Savior. |
| 1:5 | Aus diesem Grund, I left you behind in Crete: so that those things which are lacking, you would correct, and so that you would ordain, throughout the communities, priests, (just as I also ordained you) |
| 1:6 | if such a man is without offense, der Ehemann einer Ehefrau, having faithful children, not accused of self-indulgence, nor of insubordination. |
| 1:7 | And a bishop, as a steward of God, must be without offense: not arrogant, not short-tempered, kein Trunkenbold, not violent, not desiring tainted profit, |
| 1:8 | aber stattdessen: gastfreundlich, kind, nüchtern, just, holy, keusch, |
| 1:9 | embracing faithful speech which is in agreement with doctrine, so that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to argue against those who contradict. |
| 1:10 | For there are, In der Tat, many who are disobedient, who speak empty words, and who deceive, especially those who are of the circumcision. |
| 1:11 | These must be reproved, for they subvert entire houses, teaching things which should not be taught, for the favor of shameful gain. |
| 1:12 | A certain one of these, a prophet of their own kind, genannt: “The Cretans are ever liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” |
| 1:13 | This testimony is true. Aus diesem Grund, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith, |
| 1:14 | not paying attention to Jewish fables, nor to the rules of men who have turned themselves away from the truth. |
| 1:15 | All things are clean to those who are clean. But to those who are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean; for both their mind and their conscience have been polluted. |
| 1:16 | They claim that they know God. Aber, by their own works, they deny him, since they are abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate, toward every good work. |
Titus 2
| 2:1 | But you are to speak the things that befit sound doctrine. |
| 2:2 | Old men should be sober, keusch, umsichtig, sound in faith, in love, in patience. |
| 2:3 | Old women, ähnlich, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, nicht zu viel Wein gegeben, teaching well, |
| 2:4 | so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, love their children, |
| 2:5 | be sensible, keusch, restrained, have concern for the household, be kind, be subordinate to their husbands: so that the Word of God may be not blasphemed. |
| 2:6 | Exhort young men similarly, so that they may show self-restraint. |
| 2:7 | In allen Dingen, present yourself as an example of good works: in doctrine, with integrity, with seriousness, |
| 2:8 | with sound words, irreproachably, so that he who is an opponent may dread that he has nothing evil to say about us. |
| 2:9 | Exhort servants to be submissive to their masters, in all things pleasing, not contradicting, |
| 2:10 | not cheating, but in all things showing good fidelity, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. |
| 2:11 | For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men, |
| 2:12 | instructing us to reject impiety and worldly desires, so that we may live soberly and justly and piously in this age, |
| 2:13 | looking forward to the blessed hope and the advent of the glory of the great God and of our Savior Jesus Christ. |
| 2:14 | He gave himself for our sake, so that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse for himself an acceptable people, pursuers of good works. |
| 2:15 | Speak and exhort and argue these things with all authority. Let no one despise you. |
Titus 3
| 3:1 | Ermahne sie, sich den Herrschern und Obrigkeiten unterzuordnen, ihrem Diktat zu gehorchen, zu jedem guten Werk bereit sein, |
| 3:2 | niemandem etwas Böses zu sagen, nicht strittig sein, aber zu reservieren, zeigt alle Sanftmut gegenüber allen Menschen. |
| 3:3 | Für, in vergangenen Zeiten, wir selbst waren auch unklug, ungläubig, irren, Diener verschiedener Wünsche und Freuden, Handeln mit Bosheit und Neid, hasserfüllt sein und einander hassen. |
| 3:4 | Aber dann erschien die Freundlichkeit und Menschlichkeit Gottes, unseres Retters. |
| 3:5 | Und er hat uns gerettet, nicht durch Werke der Gerechtigkeit, die wir getan hatten, Aber, nach seiner Barmherzigkeit, durch das Waschen der Wiedergeburt und durch die Erneuerung des Heiligen Geistes, |
| 3:6 | den er über uns in Fülle ausgegossen hat, durch Jesus Christus, unseren Retter, |
| 3:7 | so dass, durch seine Gnade gerechtfertigt, wir können Erben werden gemäß der Hoffnung auf ewiges Leben. |
| 3:8 | This is a faithful saying. And I want you to confirm these things, so that those who believe in God may take care to excel in good works. These things are good and useful to men. |
| 3:9 | But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, as well as arguments against the law. For these are useless and empty. |
| 3:10 | Avoid a man who is a heretic, after the first and second correction, |
| 3:11 | knowing that one who is like this has been subverted, and that he offends; for he has been condemned by his own judgment. |
| 3:12 | When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, hurry to return to me at Nicopolis. For I have decided to winter there. |
| 3:13 | Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollo ahead with care, and let nothing be lacking to them. |
| 3:14 | But let our men also learn to excel in good works pertaining to the necessities of life, so that they may not be unfruitful. |
| 3:15 | All those who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. May the grace of God be with you all. Amen. |
