SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:10–16: Paul told Titus to rebuke rebellious people

In this section Paul warned Titus about those in Crete who were opposing correct teaching. They were deceiving believers and ruining their faith. Paul called them liars. They claimed to know God but in reality they did not.

Here are some other ways to translate this heading:

Correct Whoever Teaches What Is Wrong (GW)

You^(sing) must rebuke those who are rebellious

1:14a

and will pay no attention to Jewish myths

and they will stop thinking about Jewish myths/fables/stories
I want them to ignore the false narratives that the Jewish leaders have handed/passed down

and will pay no attention to Jewish myths: This is the second purpose for rebuking the rebellious Cretan people. Paul wanted Titus to rebuke the rebellious believers so that they would stop paying attention to Jewish myths.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

they will stop thinking about Jewish myths

They shouldn’t pay attention to Jewish myths (GW)

The word “they” is implied from 1:13c.

Jewish myths: A “myth” is a fictional story that people pass down from one generation to another. Often in these stories people do things that normal people cannot do. These myths were Jewish probably because Jews wrote them about Jews.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

fantasy/imaginary stories that the Jews wrote

Jewish stories that did not really happen

1:14b

or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.

or about commands that men/people have given/made. These are men/people who reject the truth!
and to the worldly rules made by people who reject God’s truth.

or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as the commands of men is literally “the human commands.” Paul was saying that ordinary people spoke or wrote these commands. They did not come from God. Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

or to commands that people wrote/invented themselves

or to human rules

or commands given by people who are always rejecting the truth (GW)

who have rejected the truth: Here the word truth refers to God’s truth, God’s true message. In some languages it may be natural to translate these words as a separate sentence. For example:

Those things are the ideas of people who refuse to obey God’s true message. (EASY)

Those commands/rules are made up by people who reject the true word/message from God.

uW Translation Notes:

Ἰουδαϊκοῖς μύθοις

˱to˲_Jewish myths

Alternate translation: [false teaching of the Jews]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀποστρεφομένων τὴν ἀλήθειαν

turning_away (Some words not found in SR-GNT: μή προσέχοντες Ἰουδαϊκοῖς μύθοις καί ἐντολαῖς ἀνθρώπων ἀποστρεφομένων τήν ἀλήθειαν)

Paul speaks of the truth as if it were an object that one could turn away from or avoid. Alternate translation: [who reject the truth]
