Context — Instructions on Church Disciplinegenerated

10Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,
11knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.
12As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.
13Do your best to equip Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they will have everything they need.

Titus 3:11 emphasizes the importance of rejecting divisive individuals after a warning. Paul instructs Titus to recognize the nature of such people, who are both corrupt and sinful, ultimately condemning themselves. This passage serves as a guide for maintaining unity and purity within the church, highlighting the need for discernment in leadership.

The Key Word αὐτοκατάκριτος, autokatakritosgenerated

The word αὐτοκατάκριτος is an adjective meaning 'self-condemned.' It is derived from αὐτός (self) and κατακρίνω (to condemn). This term indicates that a person is guilty of their own wrongdoing.

In this context, it describes someone whose actions have led to their own judgment. The parsing shows it as a masculine singular nominative, indicating it describes a specific individual.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The primary translation used here is the Berean Standard Bible, which states, 'knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.' This is echoed in the KJV and ASV, which also convey the idea of self-condemnation.

However, translations differ in their rendering of certain phrases. The YLT uses 'having known that he hath been subverted,' while the WEB states 'knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful.' This reflects variations in how the Greek words are interpreted.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main clause is introduced by the verb εἰδὼς, knowing, which governs the rest of the sentence. It connects to a subordinate clause that describes the character of the individual in question.

The structure includes a noun phrase as the subject, a prepositional phrase providing additional context, and an adjective phrase that describes the individual's state, culminating in the self-condemnation of the subject.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the word τοιοῦτος (toioutos), meaning 'such a man', appears in various contexts, most notably in verses that emphasize characteristics of individuals. It is chosen to render the Hebrew word מְאֹד (me'od), which conveys a sense of abundance or intensity, suggesting that the description of the person is not just casual but significant.

The verb ἁμαρτάνει (hamartanō), meaning 'is sinning', is also found in the Septuagint, corresponding to the Hebrew חָטָא (chata), which means to miss a goal or to sin. This choice highlights the moral failing of the individual described, underscoring the seriousness of their actions.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Titus 3:11 explains that divisive individuals are corrupt and sinful, and they ultimately condemn themselves. Paul instructs Titus on how to deal with such people, emphasizing the need for discernment in church leadership.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean to be self-condemned?

To be self-condemned means that a person is guilty of their own actions and recognizes their wrongdoing, as indicated in Titus 3:11.

Why is Paul concerned about divisive individuals?

Paul is concerned because divisive individuals can disrupt the unity and harmony of the church, leading others astray, as seen in Titus 1:11.

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it

Early church writings reference this verse to discuss the consequences of heresy and self-condemnation, as seen in Tertullian and Maximus of Turin.

TertullianON PRESCRIPTION AGAINST HERETICS 6 c. 155–220
It is the same Paul who, in his epistle to the Galatians, counts “heresies” among “the sins of the flesh,” who also intimates to Titus that “a man who is a heretic” must be “rejected after the first admonition.” This is on the ground that…

Tertullian argues that Paul instructs Titus to reject heretics based on their sinful nature, emphasizing the need for church discipline.

Maximus of TurinSERMONS 58.3 c. 380–465
For the heretic damns himself when he casts himself out of the Catholic church and under no compulsion leaves the gathering of the saints. He who separates himself from everyone by his own judgment shows what is merited from everyone.

Maximus of Turin points out that those who separate themselves from the church do so by their own judgment, thereby condemning themselves.

Inasmuch as thou knowest, seeing that thy reproofs and warnings have been of none effect, that he is “thoroughly perverted”—the expression is a very strong one, and signifies literally hath been turned inside out. The same verb is used in the LXX. translation of Deu 32:20, the “very froward generation” of the English version—having been warned once and again, he is without the excuse of ignorance, but sins on in the full consciousness of his wilful and seditious life.

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Verse 11. Is subverted] Is turned out of the way in which he may be saved, and consequently sinneth-enters into that way that leads to destruction. Being condemned of himself.] This refers to the Judaizing teacher, who maintained his party and opinions for filthy lucre's sake. He was conscious of his own insincerity; and that he proclaimed not his system from a conscientious love of truth, but from a desire to get his livelihood. Were the Church in all countries, whether established by law or unestablished, strictly scrutinized, multitudes of heretics of this kind would be found. And perhaps this is the only bad sense in which the word should be understood.

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

11. he that is such is subverted] Is perverted, the word is used by Lucian for ‘turning inside out,’ in LXX. for ‘a very froward generation,’ Deuteronomy 32:20. Vulg. has ‘subversus,’ but Theod. Mops. Lat. ‘perversus.’ it does not occur again in N.T., the usual compound being with the preposition ‘through and through’ instead of ‘out and out.’ Cf. Acts 20:30 ‘speaking perverse things,’ Philippians 2:15 ‘in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.’ It cannot, as Professor Reynolds thinks, describe ‘the effect of the isolation’ recommended, but is rather the state of obstinate wrongheadedness (to use a similar English metaphor), which, after two chances of enlightenment rejected…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

sciens quia subversus est, qui ejusmodi est, et delinquit, cum sit proprio judicio condemnatus.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܘܗܘܝܬ ܝܕܥ ܕܡܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܡܥܩܡ ܗܘ ܘܚܛܐ ܘܗܘ ܚܝܒ ܢܦܫܗ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

Layman’s summary of all Lexicon entries.generated

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.

The Greek word ἐκστρέφω (ekstrephō) is formed from the prefix ἐκ (out of) and the verb στρέφω (to turn). It means to turn out of a place, to turn inside out, or metaphorically, to change entirely or pervert. The New Testament uses it in Titus 3:11, where it refers to being perverted.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

Webster's Dictionary (1828), Webster's Unabridged (1913), Webster's Dictionary (1806)

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

τοιοῦτος is a Greek word meaning 'such as this' or 'of such a kind.' It is derived from the root τοῖος and is used in various contexts, including descriptions of people or things. In the New Testament, it appears in verses like Matthew 9:8 and Acts 22:22. The lexicons indicate that it can function as a substantive, both with and without an article.

Man

(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).

(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἁμαρτάνω (i.e., *hamartano*) means to miss the mark, often used metaphorically to signify sin or wrongdoing. It is derived from the root meaning to miss and encompasses a range of meanings from failing to achieve a goal to violating God's law. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in Matthew 18:25 and Romans 3:23, highlighting its moral implications.

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

The Greek word αὐτοκατάκριτος (*autokatakritos*) is an adjective meaning 'self-condemned,' derived from αὐτός (*autos*) and κατακρίνω (*katakrinō*). It appears in the New Testament in Titus 3:11. The term is noted as a possible new coinage, indicating its specific use in that context.
