- Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
- In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
- But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
- To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
- For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

- 神的仆人,耶稣基督的使徒保罗,凭着神选民的信心,与敬虔真理的知识,
- 盼望那无谎言的神在万古之先所应许的永生,
- 到了日期,藉着传扬的工夫,把他的道显明了。这传扬的责任,是按着神我们救主的命令交托了我。
- 现在写信给提多,就是照着我们共信之道作我真儿子的。愿恩惠平安,从父神和我们的救主基督耶稣归与你。
- 我从前留你在革哩底,是要你将没有辨完的事都辨整齐了,又照我所吩咐你的,在各城设立长老。
