Chapter 1

1 Paul,3972 a servant1401 of God,2316 and1161 an apostle652 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547 according2596 to the faith4102 of God's2316 elect,1588 and2532 the acknowledging1922 of the truth225 which3588 is after2596 godliness;2150

2 In1909 hope1680 of eternal166 life,2222 which3739 God,2316 that cannot lie,893 promised1861 before4253 the world began;166 5550

3 But1161 hath in due2398 times2540 manifested5319 his848 word3056 through1722 preaching,2782 which3739 is committed4100 unto me1473 according2596 to the commandment2003 of God2316 our2257 Savior;4990

4 To Titus,5103 mine own1103 son5043 after2596 the common2839 faith:4102 Grace,5485 mercy,1656 and peace,1515 from575 God2316 the Father3962 and2532 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our2257 Savior.4990

5 For this cause5484 5127 left2641 I thee4571 in1722 Crete,2914 that2443 thou shouldest set in order1930 the things that are wanting,3007 and2532 ordain2525 elders4245 in every city,2596 4172 as5613 I1473 had appointed1299 thee: 4671

6 If any1536 be2076 blameless,410 the husband435 of one3391 wife,1135 having2192 faithful4103 children5043 not3361 accused1722 2724 of riot810 or2228 unruly.506

7 For1063 a bishop1985 must1163 be1511 blameless,410 as5613 the steward3623 of God;2316 not3361 self-willed,829 not3361 soon angry,3711 not3361 given to wine,3943 no3361 striker,4131 not3361 given to filthy lucre;146

8 But235 a lover of hospitality,5382 a lover of good men,5358 sober,4998 just,1342 holy,3741 temperate;1468

9 Holding fast472 the3588 faithful4103 word3056 as he hath been taught,2596 1322 that2443 he may be5600 able1415 by1722 sound5198 doctrine1319 both2532 to exhort3870 and2532 to convince1651 the3588 gainsayers.483

10 For1063 there are1526 many4183 unruly2532 506 and vain talkers3151 and2532 deceivers,5423 especially3122 they3588 of1537 the circumcision: 4061

11 Whose3739 mouths must be stopped,1993 1163 who3748 subvert396 whole3650 houses,3624 teaching1321 things which3739 they ought1163 not,3361 for filthy lucre's sake.5484 150 2771

12 One5100 of1537 themselves,846 even a prophet4396 of their846 own,2398 said,2036 The Cretians2912 are always104 liars,5583 evil2556 beasts,2342 slow692 bellies.1064

13 This3778 witness3141 is2076 true.227 Wherefore1223 3739 156 rebuke1651 them846 sharply,664 that2443 they may be sound5198 in1722 the3588 faith;4102

14 Not3361 giving heed4337 to Jewish2451 fables,3454 and2532 commandments1785 of men,444 that turn from654 the3588 truth.225

15 Unto the3588 pure2513 all things3956 are3303 pure:2513 but1161 unto them3588 that are defiled3392 and2532 unbelieving571 is nothing3762 pure;2513 but235 even2532 their846 mind3563 and2532 conscience4893 is defiled.3392

16 They profess3670 that they know1492 God;2316 but1161 in works2041 they deny720 him, being5607 abominable,947 and2532 disobedient,545 and2532 unto4314 every3956 good18 work2041 reprobate.96

提多書

第1章

1 神的僕人,耶穌基督的使徒保羅,憑著神選民的信心與敬虔真理的知識,

2 盼望那不說謊[cannot lie]的神在創世[world began]之先所應許的永生,

3 到了日期,藉著傳講[preaching]把他的道顯明了;這傳揚的責任是按著神我們救主的命令交託了我。

4 現在寫信給提多,就是照著我們共信之道作我真兒子的。願恩典[Grace]憐憫[mercy]平安[peace]從父神和主耶穌基督我們的救主[the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour]歸與你。

5 我從前留你在克里特,是要你將那沒有辦完的事都辦整齊了,又照我所派定[appointed]你的,在各城設立長老:

6 若有無可指摘[blameless]的人,只作一個婦人的丈夫,兒女也信道[faithful],沒有人告他們是放縱或是不守規矩的[riot or unruly],就可以設立。

7 監督既是神的管家,必須無可指摘[blameless],不任性,不暴躁,不好喝酒[given to wine],不打人,不貪無義之財;

8 樂意款待人[hospitality]喜愛善人[lover of good men],莊重,公平,聖潔,自持;

9 堅守所教真實的道理,就能將純正的道理[doctrine]勸化人,又能把爭辯的人駁倒了。

10 因為有許多人不守規矩[unruly],說虛空話欺哄人;那奉割禮的更是這樣。

11 這些人的口必須[must be]堵住。他們因貪不義之財,將不該教導的教導人,敗壞人的全家。

12 有克里特人中的一個本地先知說:「克里特人常說謊話,乃是惡獸,身懶肚飽[slow bellies]。」

13 這個見證是真的。所以,你要嚴嚴的責備他們,使他們在信仰[faith]上純全無疵,

14 不聽猶太人荒渺的言語和轉離真理[turn from the truth]之人的誡命。

15 在潔淨的人,凡物都潔淨;在污穢不信的人,甚麼都不潔淨,連心思[mind]良心[conscience]也都污穢了。

16 他們宣稱[profession]是認識神,行事為人卻不承認他[but in works they deny him];本是可憎惡的,是叛逆的,在各樣善[work]上是可廢棄的。
