SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:1–11: Christians should live good lives among unbelievers

This section contains the last major theme in this letter. In 2:1–14, Paul had discussed relationships between Christians. Now in 3:1–11, he wrote about relationships that Christians have with non-Christians. He once more gave Titus instructions to pass on to the believers: they must submit to government authorities, be kind to other people, and not participate in useless arguments. God has given them new life because of what Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit have done, and they should live in peace and be generous to others.

Paragraph 3:9–11

In this paragraph Paul gave his final instructions to Titus and the Christians on the island of Crete. He told them to avoid foolish arguments and to avoid people who cause division among Christians.

3:11a

knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful;

You can be sure that people like this have turned away from what is right and are sinning.
You can be confident that these people are deliberately following the wrong way.

knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful: The term such a man refers to any divisive person, any person who will not listen to Titus’ warnings. Paul was not talking about a specific person, but about any and all people who caused divisions in the church. So in some languages it may be natural to use a plural form. For example:

You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful (NIV)

corrupt: The Greek word that the BSB translates as corrupt describes people who are not upright and straightforward in their character and behavior. Figuratively speaking, they are twisted.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

warped (NIV)

perverted (RSV)

deviated from what is right (NASB)

sinful: The Greek word that the BSB translates as sinful is a verb that describes someone who habitually or regularly sins.

3:11b

he is self-condemned.

They have judged themselves.
Their own deeds prove that they are guilty.

he is self-condemned: This type of person condemns himself by the way he behaves. This means that the sinful things that these people do make it clear to everyone that they are sinners, in the wrong. Their sinful behavior shows what sort of people they are and proves that that they are in the wrong.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

their own sins show how guilty they are (CEV)

their sins prove that they are wrong (GNT)

condemned by their own actions (GW)

uW Translation Notes:

ὁ τοιοῦτος

¬the such_‹person›

Alternate translation: [a person like that]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐξέστραπται

˓has_been˒_perverted

Paul speaks of someone who chooses to do wrong things as if he were leaving the right path to walk in the wrong direction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [has stopped doing what is right]

ὢν αὐτοκατάκριτος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰδώς ὅτι ἐξέστραπται ὁ τοιοῦτος καί ἁμαρτάνει ὤν αὐτοκατάκριτος)

Alternate translation: [bringing judgment on himself]
