| 1天主的仆人，作耶稣基督宗徒的保禄──为引天主所选的人，去信从并认识合乎虔敬的真理， | 1From Paul, servant of God, apostle of Christ Jesus, at the service of God's chosen people, so that they may believe and reach the knowledge of truth and godliness. |
| 2这虔敬是本于永生的希望，又是那不能说谎的天主，在久远的时代以前所预许的， | 2The eternal life we are waiting for was promised from the very beginning by God who never lies, |
| 3他到了适当的时期，就藉着宣讲显示了他的圣道；我就是照我们救主天主的命令，受委托尽这宣讲的职务。── | 3and as the appointed time had come, he made it known through the message entrusted to me by a command of God, our Savior. |
| 4我保禄致书给在共同信仰内作我真子的弟铎：愿恩宠与平安，由天主父及我们的救主基督耶稣赐与你。 | 4Greetings to you, Titus, my true son in the faith we share. May grace and peace be with you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. |
| 5我留你在克里特，是要你整顿那些尚未完成的事，并照我所吩咐你的，在各城设立长老： | 5I left you in Crete because I wanted you to put right what was defective and appoint elders in every town, following my instructions. |
| 6长老应是无可指摘的，只做过一个妻子的丈夫，所有的子女都是信徒，又没有被控告为放荡不羁的， | 6They must be blameless, married only once, whose children are believers and not open to the charge of being immoral and rebellious. |
| 7因为做监督的，既是天主的管家，就该是无可指摘的、不自负、不发怒、不嗜酒、不暴戾、不贪污； | 7Since the overseer (or bishop) is the steward of God's house, he must be beyond reproach: not proud, hot-headed, overfond of wine, quarrelsome or greedy for gain. |
| 8但该好客、乐善、慎重、公正、热心、有节， | 8On the contrary he must be hospitable, a lover of what is good, wise, upright, devout and self-controlled. |
| 9坚持那合乎教理的真道，好能以健全的道理劝戒并驳斥抗辩的人。 | 9He must hold to the message of faith just as it was taught, so that, in his turn, he may teach sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. |
| 10实在有许多人尚不服从，好空谈，欺骗人，尤其是那些受过割损的人； | 10You know that there are many rebellious minds, talkers of nonsense, deceivers, especially the party of the circumcised. |
| 11应杜塞这些人的口，因为他们为了可耻的利润，竟教导那不应教导的事，破坏人的整个家庭。 | 11They have to be silenced when they go around disturbing whole families, teaching for low gain what should not be taught. |
| 12克里特人中的一人，他们自己的一位先知曾这样说：「克里特人常是些说谎者，是些可恶的野兽，贪口腹的懒汉。」 | 12A Cretan, one of their own prophets has said, "Cretans: always liars, wicked beasts and lazy gluttons." |
| 13这话说的很对。为此，你该严厉规劝他们，好叫他们在信德上健全无瑕； | 13This is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply if you want them to have a sound faith |
| 14不要听信犹太人无稽的传说，和背弃真理之人的规定。 | 14instead of heeding Jewish fables and practices of people who reject the truth. |
| 15为洁净人一切都是洁净的，但为败坏的人和无信仰的人，没有一样是洁净的，就连他们的理性和良心都是污秽的。 | 15To the pure everything is pure; to the corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure: their minds and consciences have been defiled. |
| 16这样的人自称认识天主，但在行为上却否认天主；他们是可憎恶的，悖逆的，在一切善事上是无用的。 | 16They pretend to know God but deny him with their deeds. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. |
