디도서 1장 NASB
- 1 Paul a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness
- 2 in the hope of eternal life which God who cannot lie promised long ages ago
- 3 but at the proper time manifested even His word in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior
- 4 To Titus my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
- 5 For this reason I left you in Crete that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you
- 6 namely if any man is above reproach the husband of one wife having children who believe not accused of dissipation or rebellion.
- 7 For the overseer must be above reproach as God's steward not self-willed not quick-tempered not addicted to wine not pugnacious not fond of sordid gain
- 8 but hospitable loving what is good sensible just devout self-controlled
- 9 holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.
- 10 For there are many rebellious men empty talkers and deceivers especially those of the circumcision
- 11 who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain.
- 12 One of themselves a prophet of their own said "Cretans are always liars evil beasts lazy gluttons."
- 13 This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith
- 14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
- 15 To the pure all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
- 16 They profess to know God but by their deeds they deny Him being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.
