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.

توصيّات الرّسول للكنيسة

5مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا تَرَكْتُكَ فِي كِرِيتَ لِكَيْ تُكَمِّلَ تَرْتِيبَ الأُمُورِ النَّاقِصَةِ وَتُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ شُيُوخاً كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ،6إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِلاَ لَوْمٍ، بَعْلَ امْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، لَهُ أَوْلاَدٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ لَيْسُوا فِي شِكَايَةِ الْخَلاَعَةِ وَلاَ مُتَمَرِّدِينَ.7لأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الأُسْقُفُ بِلاَ لَوْمٍ كَوَكِيلِ اللهِ غَيْرَ مُعْجِبٍ بِنَفْسِهِ وَلاَ غَضُوبٍ وَلاَ مُدْمِنِ الْخَمْرِ وَلاَ ضَرَّابٍ وَلاَ طَامِعٍ فِي الرِّبْحِ الْقَبِيحِ،8بَلْ مُضِيفاً لِلْغُرَبَاءِ، مُحِبّاً لِلْخَيْرِ، مُتَعَقِّلاً، بَارّاً، وَرِعاً، ضَابِطاً لِنَفْسِهِ،9مُلاَزِماً لِلْكَلِمَةِ الصَّادِقَةِ الَّتِي بِحَسَبِ التَّعْلِيمِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ قَادِراً أَنْ يَعِظَ بِالتَّعْلِيمِ الصَّحِيحِ وَيُوَبِّخَ المُنَاقِضِينَ.

توصيّات الرّسول في توبيخ المرتدّين

10فَإِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ كَثِيرُونَ مُتَمَرِّدِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَيَخْدَعُونَ الْعُقُولَ، وَلاَ سِيَّمَا الَّذِينَ مِنَ الْخِتَانِ11الَّذِينَ يَجِبُ سَدُّ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقْلِبُونَ بُيُوتاً بِجُمْلَتِهَا مُعَلِّمِينَ مَا لاَ يَجِبُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الرِّبْحِ الْقَبِيحِ.12قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ نَبِيٌّ لَهُمْ خَاصٌّ: الْكِرِيتِيُّونَ دَائِماً كَذَّابُونَ، وُحُوشٌ رَدِيَّةٌ، بُطُونٌ بَطَّالَةٌ.13هَذِهِ الشَّهَادَةُ صَادِقَةٌ. فَلِهَذَا السَّبَبِ وَبِّخْهُمْ بِصَرَامَةٍ لِكَيْ يَكُونُوا أَصِحَّاءَ فِي الإِيمَانِ،14لاَ يُصْغُونَ إِلَى خُرَافَاتٍ يَهُودِيَّةٍ وَوَصَايَا أُنَاسٍ مُرْتَدِّينَ عَنِ الْحَقِّ.15كُلُّ شَيْءٍ طَاهِرٌ لِلطَّاهِرِينَ وَأَمَّا لِلنَّجِسِينَ وَغَيْرِ المُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ طَاهِراً، بَلْ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَ ذِهْنُهُمْ أَيْضاً وَضَمِيرُهُمْ.16يَعْتَرِفُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَ اللهَ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ بِالأَعْمَالِ يُنْكِرُونَهُ، إِذْ هُمْ رَجِسُونَ غَيْرُ طَائِعِينَ وَمِنْ جِهَةِ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ مَرْفُوضُونَ.
