< Titus 2 >

1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
但你所講的總要合乎那純正的道理。
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience;
勸老年人要有節制、端莊、自守,在信心、愛心、忍耐上都要純全無疵。
3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
又勸老年婦人,舉止行動要恭敬,不說讒言,不給酒作奴僕,用善道教訓人,
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
好指教少年婦人,愛丈夫,愛兒女,
5 [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
謹守,貞潔,料理家務,待人有恩,順服自己的丈夫,免得上帝的道理被毀謗。
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded.
又勸少年人要謹守。
7 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
你自己凡事要顯出善行的榜樣;在教訓上要正直、端莊,
8 Sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.
言語純全,無可指責,叫那反對的人,既無處可說我們的不是,便自覺羞愧。
9 [Exhort] servants to be obedient to their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
勸僕人要順服自己的主人,凡事討他的喜歡,不可頂撞他,
10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
不可私拿東西,要顯為忠誠,以致凡事尊榮我們救主-上帝的道。
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
因為上帝救眾人的恩典已經顯明出來,
12 Teaching us, that denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, in this present world; (aiōn g165)
教訓我們除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情慾,在今世自守、公義、敬虔度日, (aiōn g165)
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Savior Jesus Christ;
等候所盼望的福,並等候至大的上帝和我們救主耶穌基督的榮耀顯現。
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
他為我們捨了自己,要贖我們脫離一切罪惡,又潔淨我們,特作自己的子民,熱心為善。
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
這些事你要講明,勸戒人,用各等權柄責備人;不可叫人輕看你。
