提多书 2

健全的教训

1 至于你，你所讲的要与健全的教义相宜：2 年长的男人要节制、庄重、自律，在信仰、爱心和忍耐上要健全；3 同样，年长的妇女在举止行为上要合乎圣洁、不恶意控告、不成为酒的奴隶，要教导美好的事；4 这样，她们可以训导年轻的妇女爱丈夫、爱儿女、5 自律、贞洁、善理家务、良善、服从自己的丈夫，免得神的话语t受到亵渎。

6 同样，你要鼓励年轻的男人清醒自制；7 你自己要在一切事上做出美好工作的榜样；教导的时候要正直t、庄重t，8 要用无可指责的健全话语，使反对的人在我们t的事上因没有坏话可说，就感到羞愧。

9 奴仆要在一切事上服从自己的主人、讨主人喜悦，不可顶嘴、10 不可私拿东西，反要显出所有美好的忠信，好在一切事上为神我们救主的教导增添光彩。

11 事实上，神拯救万民的恩典已经显明出来了。12 这恩典管教我们，使我们拒绝不敬神的事和地上的欲望，在今世能过自制、公义、敬神的生活，13 期待那蒙福的盼望，以及我们那伟大的神、救主耶稣基督t荣耀的显现。14 他为我们献上自己，是为了救赎我们脱离一切罪恶t，并且洁净我们做他自己特选的子民，做美好工作的热心人。

15 你要讲说这些，充分地使用权威来劝勉、责备；不要让任何人轻看你。

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.
