Tito 3
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Cómo debe vivir el creyente
3 Recuerda siempre a todos que deben someterse a los gobernantes y autoridades. Diles que obedezcan y siempre estén listos para hacer el bien, 2 que no hablen mal de nadie, vivan en paz con los demás, sean comprensivos y traten a todos con amabilidad.
3 Antes nosotros también éramos insensatos; no obedecíamos y estábamos perdidos. Éramos esclavos de toda clase de placeres y deseos, éramos malvados y envidiosos. Los demás nos odiaban y nosotros a ellos.
4 Pero Dios nuestro Salvador mostró
su bondad y su amor por la humanidad.
5 Él nos salvó gracias a su misericordia,
no por algo bueno que hubiéramos hecho.
Nos salvó lavándonos, dándonos una vida nueva
al renovarnos por medio del Espíritu Santo.
6 Dios derramó en abundancia el Espíritu Santo sobre nosotros
por medio de Jesucristo, nuestro Salvador.
7 Así que aprobados por el generoso amor de Dios,
disfrutamos de la esperanza de la vida eterna que Dios tiene para sus hijos.
8 Esto es cierto y quiero que insistas en ello para que los que creen en Dios dediquen su vida a hacer el bien. Esto es bueno y beneficia a todo el mundo. 9 Evita las discusiones tontas y las cuestiones sobre los antepasados. Aléjate también de controversias y peleas sobre la ley de Moisés. Eso no sirve para nada y no ayuda a nadie.
10 Si alguien causa divisiones entre los creyentes[a], hazle una advertencia. Si lo vuelve hacer, adviértele otra vez y si sigue causando divisiones, expúlsalo de la iglesia. 11 Tú sabes que alguien así tiene la mente retorcida y sus pecados lo condenan.
Comentarios finales
12 Después de que te envíe a Artemas o a Tíquico, haz todo lo posible por venir a verme a Nicópolis porque he decidido pasar allí el invierno. 13 Ayuda todo lo que puedas al abogado Zenas y a Apolos para que no les falte nada en su viaje. 14 Que nuestra gente aprenda a dedicarse a hacer el bien y a ayudar a los necesitados, así su vida no será inútil.
15 Todos los que están conmigo te mandan saludos. Saluda a nuestros amigos creyentes.
Que Dios los bendiga en abundancia a todos ustedes.

Titus 3
King James Version
3 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
Titus 3
New King James Version
Graces of the Heirs of Grace
3 Remind them (A)to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, (B)to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For (C)we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when (D)the kindness and the love of (E)God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 (F)not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through (G)the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 (H)whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace (I)we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 (J)This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Avoid Dissension
9 But (K)avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10 (L)Reject a divisive man after the first and second [a]admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
Final Messages
12 When I send Artemas to you, or (M)Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Send Zenas the lawyer and (N)Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing. 14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Farewell
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
Grace be with you all. Amen.

Titus 3
English Standard Version
Be Ready for Every Good Work
3 Remind them (A)to be submissive to rulers and authorities, (B)to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 (C)to speak evil of no one, (D)to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and (E)to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For (F)we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when (G)the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, (H)not because of works done by us in righteousness, but (I)according to his own mercy, by (J)the washing of regeneration and (K)renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he (L)poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that (M)being justified by his grace we might become (N)heirs (O)according to the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is (P)trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful (Q)to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. 9 But (R)avoid foolish (S)controversies, (T)genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for (U)they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 As for a person who stirs up division, (V)after warning him once and then twice, (W)have nothing more to do with him, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.
Final Instructions and Greetings
12 When I send Artemas or (X)Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me (Y)at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and (Z)Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. 14 And let our people learn (AA)to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not (AB)be unfruitful.
15 All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
(AC)Grace be with you all.
