提多书 2
教导纯正的教义
1 你的教导要符合纯正的教义。2 劝年长的男子要节制、庄重、自律,有全备的信心、爱心和耐心。3 劝年长的妇女要过敬虔的生活,不说长道短,不做酒的奴隶,要以身作则。4 这样,她们就能教导年轻的妇女爱丈夫、爱儿女、5 自制、贞洁,持家、和善、顺服丈夫,免得上帝的道被人毁谤。
6 劝勉年轻的男子要自制。7 你自己要在各样的善行上做众人的榜样,在教导上要诚恳、认真、8 言语纯全、无可指责,让那些反对的人无话可说、自觉羞愧。
9 劝勉做奴仆的要凡事顺服主人,让主人满意,不顶撞主人,10 不偷拿主人的东西,品行要忠诚,好凡事尊崇我们救主上帝的教导。
11 因为上帝拯救世人的恩典已经显明了,12 这恩典教导我们除掉不敬虔的心和世俗的私欲,在今世过自律、公义、敬畏上帝的生活,13 怀着美好的盼望等候耶稣基督——我们伟大的上帝和救主的荣耀显现。14 主耶稣为我们牺牲自己,要救赎我们脱离一切罪恶,并洁净我们,使我们做祂的子民,成为热心行善的人。
15 你要讲明这些事,运用各样权柄劝勉人、责备人,别让人轻看你。
Titus 2
Conduct Consistent with Sound Teaching
1 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes witht sound teaching.2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled,t sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.s3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.4 In this wayt they will traint the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,5 to be self-controlled,t pure, fulfilling their duties at home,t kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the messaget of God may not be discredited.t6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,t7 showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,8 and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss,t because he has nothing evil to say about us.9 Slavest are to be subject to their own masters in everything,t to do what is wanted and not talk back,
10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith,t in order to bring credit tot the teaching of God our Savior in everything.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.t12 It trains ust to reject godless wayst and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,13 as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearingt of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.t14 Het gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his,t who are eager to do good.t
15 So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuket that carries full authority.t Don’t let anyone look downt on you.
