提多书 2
要传讲纯正的道理
1 至于你,你应当讲合乎纯正的道理。2 劝年老的男人要有节制、庄重、自律,在信心、爱心、忍耐上都要健全。3 照样,劝年老的妇女行为要敬虔,不说谗言,不被酒奴役,用善道教导人,4 好提醒年轻的妇女爱丈夫爱儿女,5 并且自律、贞洁、理家、善良、顺从自己的丈夫,免得 神的道受毁谤。6 照样,劝年轻的男子要自律。7 无论在甚么事上你都要显出好行为的榜样,在教导上要纯全,要庄重,8 言词要纯正,无可指摘,使反对的人因为无从毁谤,就自觉惭愧。9 作奴仆的,要凡事顺服自己的主人,讨他欢喜,不要顶嘴。10 不要私取财物,却要显示绝对的诚实,好使我们救主 神的道理,在凡事上都得着尊荣。11 神拯救万人的恩典已经显明出来了。12 这恩典训练我们除去不敬虔的心,和属世的私慾,在今生过着自律、公正、敬虔的生活,13 等候那有福的盼望,就是我们伟大的 神,救主耶稣基督荣耀的显现。14 他为我们舍己,为的是要救赎我们脱离一切不法的事,并且洁净我们作他自己的子民,热心善工。15 你要传讲这些事,运用各样的权柄去劝戒人,责备人;不要让人轻看你。
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.
