\v 1 I, Paul, write this letter to you, Titus.
\p I am a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. God sent me to teach the people whom he has chosen as his own to trust him more. I work to help his people to know what is true so that they can live in a way that pleases God.

\v 2 His people can learn how to live like this because they are confident that God will cause them to live forever. God tells no lies. Even before the world began, he promised to cause us to live forever.
\v 3 Then, at the right time, he communicated his plan through this message that he trusted me to preach. I do this in order to obey the command of God, who saves us.

\v 4 I am writing to you, Titus; you have become like a real son to me because we both now believe in Jesus Christ. May God the Father and Christ Jesus who saves us continue to be kind to you and to give you peace.

\v 5 I left you on the Island of Crete for this reason: that you do the work that is still unfinished and also appoint elders for the group of believers in every city, just as I told you to do.

\v 6 Now every elder must be someone whom no one can criticize. He must also have just one wife, his children must trust in God, and people must not consider his children to be out of control or disobedient.
\v 7 Everyone who leads God's people is like someone who manages God's house. So it is necessary for this person to have a good reputation. He should not be proud and he must not get angry quickly. He must not be an alcoholic, not someone who likes to fight and argue, and not a greedy man.

\v 8 Rather than that, he must welcome strangers and love the things that are good. He must always act sensibly and treat other people in a fair and honest manner. He must always act in a way that is right for someone who is devoted to God and he must always control his emotions.
\v 9 He must always believe the true things we have taught him, and he must live according to them. He must do this in order to persuade people to live like this too, and in order to correct people if they do not want to live like this.

\v 15 If people do not have sinful thoughts or desires, then for them everything is good. But if people are wicked and do not believe in Christ Jesus, everything that they do makes them unclean. Such people's way of thinking has been ruined. They do not even feel guilty when they do what is evil.

\v 2 Tell the older men that they must control themselves at all times, that they must live in a way that other people respect, and that they must act sensibly. Tell them that they must also firmly believe the true things about God, love others truly, and do all these things even when it is difficult.

\v 3 Tell the older women, like the men, to live so that everyone knows that they respect God very much. Tell them that they must not say mean or false things about other people, and that they must not be addicted to drinking a lot of wine. Instead, they should teach others what is good.

\v 5 The older women should also teach the younger women to control what they say and do, not to act in a bad way toward any man, to work well at home, and to do what their husbands tell them. They should do all these things so that no one can mock God's message to us.

\v 11 The believers should behave in these good ways because God is offering to save everyone as a gift that no one deserves.
\v 12 When God saves us as a free gift, he also trains us to stop doing what is wrong and what people of the world want to do. He teaches us to be sensible, to do what is right, and to obey God while we live during this present time.
\v 13 At the same time, God teaches us to wait for what he will certainly do in the future, which is something that will make us very happy: That is, our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ will return to us in great splendor.

\v 3 We need to remember that there was a time when we ourselves were foolish and unpersuaded about these things. Our own passions and our desire for pleasure took us in the wrong direction and we served them as if we were their slaves. We spent our lives envying each other and doing evil. We caused people to hate us and we hated each other.

\v 9 But stay away from senseless debates, controversies about lists of Jewish ancestors, and arguments and disputes about religious law. Those kinds of discussions are a waste of time and they do not help you in any way.
