5 For this reason, I left you behind in Crete: so that those things which are lacking, you would correct, and so that you would ordain, throughout the communities, priests, (just as I also ordained you) This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you— The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6 if such a man is without offense, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of self-indulgence, nor of insubordination. if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7 And a bishop, as a steward of God, must be without offense: not arrogant, not short-tempered, not a drunkard, not violent, not desiring tainted profit, For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8 but instead: hospitable, kind, sober, just, holy, chaste, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
9 embracing faithful speech which is in agreement with doctrine, so that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to argue against those who contradict. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
10 For there are, indeed, many who are disobedient, who speak empty words, and who deceive, especially those who are of the circumcision. For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.
11 These must be reproved, for they subvert entire houses, teaching things which should not be taught, for the favor of shameful gain. They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
12 A certain one of these, a prophet of their own kind, said: “The Cretans are ever liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”
13 This testimony is true. Because of this, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith, This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith

15 All things are clean to those who are clean. But to those who are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean; for both their mind and their conscience have been polluted. To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
16 They claim that they know God. But, by their own works, they deny him, since they are abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate, toward every good work. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
