提多書

第3章

1 你要提醒眾人,叫他們順服執政的[principalities]、掌權的,遵官長[magistrates]的命,預備行各樣的善[work]

2 不要毀謗,不要爭競,總要溫和[gentle],向眾人大顯溫柔。

3 我們從前也是無知、叛逆、受迷惑、服事各樣私慾,和宴樂,活在惡毒嫉妒之中[living in malice and envy],是可恨的,又是彼此相恨。

4 但到了神─我們救主的恩慈和愛[and love]向人[toward man]顯明的時候,

5 他便救了我們;並不是因我們自己所行的義,乃是照他的憐憫,藉著重生的洗和聖靈的更新。

6 [Which]就是神藉著耶穌基督我們救主厚厚澆灌在我們身上的,

7 好叫我們因他的恩得稱為義,可以憑著永生的盼望成為後嗣[should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life]

8 這話是可信的。我也願你把這些事不斷地[constantly]講明,使那些已信神的人留心行善[be careful to maintain good works]。這都是美事,並且與人有益。

9 要遠避無知的辯論和家譜的空談,以及紛爭,並因律法而起的爭競,因為這都是虛妄無益的。

10 異端者[heretick],警戒過一兩次,就要棄絕他。

11 因為知道這等人已經背道,犯了罪,自定己罪[being condemned of himself]

12 我打發亞提馬或是推基古到你那裏去的時候,你要趕緊往尼哥坡里去見我,因為我已經定意在那裏過冬。

13 你要趕緊給律師西納和亞波羅送行,叫他們沒有缺乏。

14 並且我們的人要學習行善[learn to maintain good works],預備所需用的,免得不結果子。

15 同我在一處的人都問你安,請代問那些因有信心愛我們的人安,願恩典[Grace]常與你們眾人同在。阿們[Amen]

Titus

Chapter 3

1 REMIND all to be obedient and submissive to princes and governors, and to be ready for every good work,

2 And not to speak evil against any man, and not to be quarrelsome, but to be meek, in every respect showing gentleness to all men.

3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, misled, and serving divers lusts and passions, living in malice and envy, hated, and also hating one another.

4 But after the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour was manifested,

5 Not so much by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

6 Which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs to the hope of eternal life.

8 This is a true saying, and these things I want you to constantly affirm, so that those who believe in God may be careful to continually do good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and the theological arguments of the scribes, for they are unprofitable and vain.

10 After you have admonished the heretic once or twice shun him;

11 Knowing that he who is such is corrupt; he sins and condemns himself.

12 When I send Ar'te-mas or Tych'i-cus to you, endeavor to come to me at Ni-cop'olis: for I have decided to winter there.

13 See that Ze'nas, the scribe, and A-pol'los are given a good farewell on their journey, that they lack nothing.

14 And let our people be taught to do good works in times of emergency, that they be not unfruitful.

15 All who are with me salute you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
