- Kapitel 1 -

(2 Corinthians 8:16–24)
1
Paul, a servant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in accord with the faith of God’s elect and in acknowledgment of the truth which is accompanied by piety,
2
in the hope of the eternal life that God, who does not lie, promised before the ages of time,
3
which, at the proper time, he has manifested by his Word, in the preaching that has been entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior;
4
to Titus, beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Savior.

Appointing Elders on Crete

(1 Timothy 3:1–7; 1 Peter 5:1–4)
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)
6
if such a man is without offense, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of self-indulgence, nor of insubordination.(a)
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,
8
but instead: hospitable, kind, sober, just, holy, chaste,
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.

Correcting False Teachers

(1 Timothy 1:3–11)
10
For there are, indeed, many who are disobedient, who speak empty words, and who deceive, especially those who are of the circumcision.
11
These must be reproved, for they subvert entire houses, teaching things which should not be taught, for the favor of shameful gain.(b)
12
A certain one of these, a prophet of their own kind, said: “The Cretans are ever liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13
This testimony is true. Because of this, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith,
14
not paying attention to Jewish fables, nor to the rules of men who have turned themselves away from the truth.
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.
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.

Fußnoten

(a)1:6 Married men were permitted, for a time, to become priests, because most Christians were converts in adulthood, so that the vast majority of men who might become priests were already married prior to converting. As for the term ‘filios,’ it literally means ‘sons,’ and, in those days, a father would generally teach his sons a trade and other things, whereas teaching daughters fell more to the mother; so the father would have authority and responsibility over all his children, but how good he was at raising his children would be seen more in the sons, than in the daughters. The term ‘filios’ having the greater meaning of sons, and the lesser meaning of children, is fitting here, since the father has a greater responsibility for raising sons, but some responsibility for raising all the children.(Conte)
(b)1:11 In the last days, entire religious houses will be subverted by false doctrine. This will occur to one extent during the first part of the tribulation, and to a greater extent during the second part of the tribulation.(Conte)

Gruß

(2. Korinther 8,16-24)
1
Paulus, Diener Gottes, und Apostel Jesu Christi, für den Glauben der Auserwählten Gottes und die Erkenntnis der Wahrheit, welche der Frömmigkeit gemäß ist,
2
zur Hoffnung des ewigen Lebens, welches Gott, der nicht lügt, vor unvordenklichen Zeiten verheißen,
3
zu seiner Zeit aber hat er sein Wort kundgetan durch die Verkündigung, mit der ich betraut bin, nach Anordnung unsers Heilandes, Gottes,
4
an Titus, den geliebten Sohn vermöge des gemeinschaftlichen Glaubens, Gnade und Friede von Gott dem Vater und Christus Jesus, unserem Heiland.

Qualifizierte Älteste

(1. Timotheus 3,1-7; 1. Petrus 5,1-4)
5
Deshalb habe ich dich auf Kreta zurückgelassen, damit du das, was mangelt, in Ordnung bringest, und von Stadt zu Stadt Vorsteher bestellst, wie ich dich auch angewiesen habe:
6
wenn einer untadelig ist, nur eines Weibes Mann, gläubige Kinder hat, die nicht wegen Ausschweifung verrufen oder unbotmäßig sind.
7
Denn der Bischof muss als Haushalter Gottes untadelig sein, nicht eigenmächtig, nicht zornmütig, nicht dem Trunke ergeben, nicht händelsüchtig, nicht nach schnödem Gewinne begierig,
8
sondern gastfrei, gütig, besonnen, gerecht, heilig, sich selbst beherrschend,
9
festhaltend an dem der Lehre entsprechenden zuverlässigen Worte, damit er im Stande sei, in der gesunden Lehre zu ermahnen und die Widersprechenden zurechtzuweisen.

Die Aufgabe der Ältesten

(1. Timotheus 1,3-11)
10
Denn es gibt viele Unbotmäßige, leere Schwätzer und Verführer, besonders unter denen aus der Beschneidung.
11
Diese muss man zum Schweigen bringen; da sie ganze Häuser verkehren, indem sie lehren, was nicht recht ist, schnöden Gewinnes halber.
12
Es hat einer aus ihnen, ihr eigener Prophet gesagt: Die Kreter sind immerdar Lügner, bösartige Tiere, müßige Bäuche.
13
Dieses Zeugnis ist wahr. Deswegen weise sie scharf zurecht, damit sie gesund seien im Glauben.
14
und nicht jüdischen Fabeln Gehör schenken und Geboten von Menschen, die sich von der Wahrheit abwenden.
15
Alles ist dem Reinen rein; den Befleckten und Ungläubigen aber ist nichts rein, sondern befleckt ist ihr Sinn und ihr Gewissen.
16
Sie geben vor, Gott zu kennen, in den Werken aber verleugnen sie ihn; denn sie sind verabscheuungswürdig, dem Glauben ungehorsam und zu jedem guten Werke untauglich.
