上帝的僕人，耶穌基督的使徒保羅，憑着上帝選民的信心與敬虔真理的知識，

in spem vitae aeternae, quam promisit qui non mentitur, Deus, ante tempora saecularia :

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

盼望那無謊言的上帝在萬古之先所應許的永生，

1:3

manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in praedicatione, quae credita est mihi secundum praeceptum Salvatoris nostri Dei :

but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

到了日期，藉着傳揚的工夫把他的道顯明了；這傳揚的責任是按着上帝－我們救主的命令交託了我。

Tito dilecto filio secundum communem fidem, gratia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Salvatore nostro.

to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

1:5

Hujus rei gratia reliqui te Cretae, ut ea quae desunt, corrigas, et constituas per civitates presbyteros, sicut et ego disposui tibi,

I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—

我從前留你在克里特，是要你將那沒有辦完的事都辦整齊了，又照我所吩咐你的，在各城設立長老。

1:6

si quis sine crimine est, unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriae, aut non subditos.

if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

若有無可指責的人，只作一個婦人的丈夫，兒女也是信主的，沒有人告他們是放蕩不服約束的，就可以設立。

1:7

Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem : non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum :

For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

監督既是上帝的管家，必須無可指責，不任性，不暴躁，不因酒滋事，不打人，不貪無義之財；

1:8

sed hospitalem, benignum, sobrium, justum, sanctum, continentem,

but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,

樂意接待遠人，好善，莊重，公平，聖潔自持；

1:9

amplectentem eum, qui secundum doctrinam est, fidelem sermonem : ut potens sit exhortari in doctrina sana, et eos qui contradicunt, arguere.

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 those who contradict him.

堅守所教真實的道理，就能將純正的教訓勸化人，又能把爭辯的人駁倒了。
